Learning Outcomes:
- Define an enzyme, state its function and how this is achieved.
- Define an “active site” and state how this is involved in the activity of an enzyme.
- List the factors that affect enzyme activity, state which of these affect all enzymes.
- Define “trivial” name, “accurate” name and “enzyme number” and list examples.
- Name and define the six classes of enzymes; give examples of each.
- Describe how enzyme activity is translated in numeric terms?
- Define international unit of enzyme activity.
- State the most common method of expressing enzyme activity and cite examples.
- Explain the effect of substrate type on enzyme activity and give examples.
- State the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity.
- Explain the effect of pH on enzyme activity.
- Explain the effect of temperature on enzyme activity
- Explain the importance of correct storage temperature and give examples.
- State the importance of providing appropriate cofactors. In this respect:
- Explain the effect of inhibitors on enzyme activity.
