Enzyme Activity

  Enzyme Activity the enzyme laboratory exercise- All seven pieces of the format must be represented in your research article- 1. Title: On a separate page you should write the title of your paper- The title of a scientific article should be fairly detailed and include the subject and the aspects of the subject that were studied. remaining pieces should be separated by section headings, but do not need to be on separate pages. 2. Abstract: This is a single paragraph (5-7 sentences) that is meant to allow your audience to quicldy decide if the article contains information or data that they require. The abstract should include the purpose for the study, the primary results and the main conclusions. 3. Introduction: This section should state the main purpose for the study, the hypothesis or hypotheses and relevant scientific background. Two to four paragraphs are usually sufficient. 4. Materials and Methods: This section states how the study was performed- If the materials and methods that you are using having been previously piblished (e.g. in a lab manual) then you can state that the experiments were performed using methods previously published in [insert source material]- 5. Results: This section presents the data that was collected during the study in a logical fashion with both text and illustrative materials (such as tables and figures). The results section begins with text that reports the data and then refers the reader to the figures and tables as it proceeds- Ideally, you should state key trends in the data as opposed to reiterating each value from a Figure OR Table- Avoid interpreting your data in this section. Interpretation shodd be saved for the Discussion section- 6. Discussion: This section has two main functions. The first is to interpret your resultsin light of what was already known about the subject (as stated in the introduction) and then to explain our new understanding of the problem after taking your results into consideration- You should connect the discussion to the introduction through the hypotheses you posed, but it should not repeat or rearrange what was stated in the introduction- The second function is to examine the significance of your findings in the context of your field- Consider the following questions to help you: Do your results provide answers to your hypotheses? If so, how do you interpret your findings? Do your findings agree with what others have shown? If not, do they suggest an alternative explanation or perhaps a design flaw in your experiment? How can your findings help advance knowledge in your field of study?
