I require very quick help! I've been given to do design for an enzyme-reaction related lab. I chose to do one on the effect of temperature on reaction rate of amylase to starch. I need to determine the method I would use. So when I have a water-amylase solution in 5 different test tubes in 5 different temperatures and I add the starch to see the reaction rate, how will I visually/otherwise determine the reaction rate (even roughly)? Thanks, I really need the help asap!

Hmm since its asap :) I don't really know much about it but maybe this could help: www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/cmaste//pdfs/AICCSAmylaseInvestigation.doc
-they say that "In the qualitative tests, iodine and Benedict’s Reagent will change color in response to the enzyme activity. In the quantitative tests the enzyme activity will be measured by the spectrometer absorbance readings."
