Enzyme action and specificity

2.10 i) Understand the mechanism of action and the specificity of enzymes in terms of their three-dimensional structure.

ii) Understand that enzymes are biological catalysts that reduce activation energy.

iii) Know that there are intracellular enzymes catalysing reactions inside cells and extracellular enzymes produced by cells catalysing reactions outside of cells.

CORE PRACTICAL 4: Investigate the effect of enzyme and substrate concentrations on the initial rates of reactions.
