As you know enzymes are protein molecules that act on a substrate, perform a reaction, and produce a product. Several \"enzyme cocktails\" have been developed for use in laundry detergent to more efficiently and effectively remove stains from dirty clothes. Two enzyme types commonly found in household detergents are proteases and lipases. Proteases break down proteins therefore are good for removing blood, egg, and other protein stains while lipases break down fats and grease stains like chlorophyll from grass. Use the information in the table below to answer the following questions: Hot water (>55 degree C) is best for removing stains in clothing. If you are designing a laundry detergent that you would market as being \"tougher on any stain than any other product on the market\" and was designed specifically to be used with hot water (>55 degree C) which enzymes would you be able to include in your product? Enzymes in laundry detergent must be correctly buffered so they do not become deactivated before use. To avoid any damage to clothing, laundry detergents are kept within a buffered pH range of 6 - 8. Which enzyme(s) are not suitable for use in these pH buffered laundry detergents? If you wanted to remove grease stains from your brand new kitchen apron but wanted to wash it in cold water (

Solution

Fungal protease, gastric lipase Pepsin, papain, gastric lipase and lipoprotein lipase are not suitable for use in pH buffered solutions with pH range of 6 -8. Only Hepatic lipase would be able to wash in cold water in less than 20 degree Celsius. No the enzymes would not work. When the pH is lowered, there would be loss of enzyme activity. Protease enzyme would be most effective for the task. Haemoglobin would be the substrate.
