| EnzymesLearning Goals1. Classify enzymes according to the type of reaction catalyzed and the type of specificity. 2. Give examples of the correlation between an enzyme's common name and its function. 3. Describe the effect that enzymes have on the activation energy of a reaction. 4. Explain the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme-catalyzed reactions. 5. Discuss the role of the active site and the importance of enzyme specificity. 6. Describe the difference between the lock-and key model and the induced fit model of enzyme-substrate complex formation. 7. Discuss the roles of cofactors and coenzymes in enzyme activity. 8. Explain how pH and temperature affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. 9. Describe the mechanisms used by cells to regulate enzyme activity. 10. Discuss the mechanisms by which certain chemicals inhibit enzyme activity. 11. Discuss the role of the enzyme chymotrypsin and other serine proteases. 12. Provide examples of medical uses of enzymes. | |
