Enzymes, cofactors and metabolic pathways

By the end you’ll be able to

• Explain how enzymes act as biological catalysts by lowering activation energy and forming enzyme-substrate complexes, using the specificity of the active site and induced-fit or lock-and-key ideas where required by the specification or question context.
• Investigate and interpret the effects of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration and competitive or non-competitive inhibitors on the rate of enzyme-controlled reactions, including graphical analysis and evaluation of experimental evidence.
