Trypsin is an enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of casein, a protein found in milk. Milk that contains casein has a cloudy, white appearance. As the casein is hydrolysed by trypsin, the milk changes in appearance to a clear (transparent), colourless solution. A student carried out an experiment to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate at which trypsin hydrolyses casein. The student added a solution of trypsin to a sample of milk and recorded the time taken for the milk to become transparent. The student repeated the experiment with different concentrations of trypsin. All other variables were kept constant. Fig. 5.1 shows the results from the experiment. [Figure 5.1]
