Many factors exert an influence on enzyme activity and thus on the rate of reactions that they catalyse. The most important of these factors are pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and the concentration of some inhibitors present. A solution of the enzyme diastase, which breaks down molecules of the polysaccharide starch to the disaccharide maltose by hydrolysis, was provided. Activity of this enzyme was measured by the rate at which starch was removed from the reaction mixture. These experiments were designed to study this reaction rate under varying conditions and the following results were obtained. 1. The range of optimum pH for this enzyme at room temperature was 4.0-7.0 and the optimum pH was 5.0. 2. The range of optimum temperatures for this enzyme at pH 7.0 was $30^{\circ}C-50^{\circ}C$ and the optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}C$. 3. The relationship between the enzyme activity and substrate concentration could be expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equation. The limiting velocity of this enzyme at room temperature and pH 7.0 was $415{\mu}g$ starch removed/ml of reaction mixture/min and $K_m$, Michaelis constant, was $343{\mu}g/ml$. 4. Inhibitors NaCl and $HgCl_2$ blocked this enzyme activity completely at 1% and 0.01% respectively.
