Australia's Science Forum

Hi everyone,

I'm sure I saw an enzyme experiment using egg white suspension and pepsin on Chemtalk. Have had a quick look through the forums but drawn a blank.
Has anyone got a copy they can post here please.

Many thanks in advance,
Fran

Hi Fran,
The experiment, and other info are in a forum titled "Saliva Experiments". You will find it under Chemistry and Labware General on Page 2. Rather than trying to remember where you saw it, you might find the "search" helpful in these instances. Just type in a key word that relates specifically to the prac you're after, and usually you'll come up with what you need.
Cheers,
Lisa

Thanks for the advice Lisa. Yesterday I tried a search using pepsin and egg white as key words. Today I tried saliva experiments and came up with the same results, give or take a post. The only experiment I can see is the attachment using junket, which I already have. Perhaps I'm missing something. But in the meantime, if anyone has the experiment I'm after (for the biol lab tech), I'd really appreciate a copy.

Many thanks,
Fran

Hi,
If you give me your fax number I can send pepsin and egg whit prac to you. It is out of a prac book called Titan Education Biology under maintaining a balance. The prac is the effect of pH on enzyme activity.

Hi Fran,
It sounds like you were in the right place, but maybe didn't scroll right down. There was more than one experiment in that attachment. Never mind, I see someone else has helped you out, so it's all good.
Cheers,
Lisa
