Biochemistry+essays

Sample questions: biochemistry Remember the hints given are not included on the test but are my notes to you. the activity of an enzyme. c. Describe what information concerning the structure of an enzyme could be inferred from your experiment.
 * 1) Describe the structure and function of enzymes
 * 2) Hint: be sure to include catalysts, activation energy, substrates, tertiary structures, chaperone proteins, coenzymes, cofactors, denatured, induced fit, competitive inhibition, noncompetitive inhibition, allosteric inhibition
 * 3) The unique properties of water makelife on earth possible. Select four characteristics of water and:
 * 4) Identify on characteristic of water and explain how the structure of water relates to this property
 * 5) Describe one example of how this characteristic affects living organisms
 * 6) Enzymes control every reaction in the body
 * 7) Relate the structure of an enzyme to its funcition
 * 8) Design a controlled experiment to demonstrate that enzymes are adversely affected by heat or pH. The experiment must be reasonable to set up and must work
 * 9) Enzymes are biological catalysts.
 * 10) Relate the chemical structure of an enzyme to its specificity and catalytic activity.
 * 11) Design a quantitative experiment to investigate the influence of pH or temperature on
