Learning Objectives
Now that you understand the basics about enzymes and their reactions, let's learn more about how they function in living cells and organisms. This video will help you with the following Learning Objectives:
Incorporate the function of cofactors, coenzymes and inhibitors into your understanding of enzyme reactions |
Do you understand? (Metacognition)
Test your understanding by answering these study guide questions
4. What would happen to an enzyme if there were low concentrations of its cofactor? Make sure to use the following vocabulary: substrates, enzyme active site, cofactor binding, shift in amino acid interactions, shift in shape of active site.
5. If there are series of enzyme reactions as seen below, what happens if there are large concentrations of the final product? Make sure to use the following vocabulary: substrate, product, enzyme pathway, inhibitor, shift in in amino acid interactions, shift in shape of active site.
Substrate A ----Enzyme 1-------> Product B -----Enzyme 2-------> Product C------Enzyme 3---------> Product D
