Enzymes Kinetics Lab Report Instructions
Enzymes Kinetics Lab Report Instructions
These instructions are specific to the lab report for the enzyme kinetics labs, and are meant to augment the
instructions on pages 5-8 of the lab manual for the important comprehensive general guidelines for lab reports.
This lab report is an individual exercise. Even though you collected data as a group, you will be writing your own
individual report and generating your own figures. You will write your report on the varying substrate concentration,
varying substrate concentration with inhibitor present, and either effects of pH OR temperature (depending on the
exercise you completed).
Figures. You should add three figures with data which are described in the results section. The figures should be
each on a separate page with a clear title, and the legend (caption) under the figure. The legend explains what we see
in the figure. One figure may have multiple panels. For instance, you might want to present Michaelis-Menten plots
for several conditions that you have tested. If the data become too crowded in one plot you can choose to separate
the data into two or more plots presented next to each other or above each other as two panels (e.g. panel A and
panel B). Which data you choose to present in the figures is up to you. Choose wisely.
