2.5 Enzymes
Understandings:
• Enzymes have an active site to which specific substrates bind.
• Enzyme catalysis involves molecular motion and the collision of substrates with the active site.
• Temperature, pH and substrate concentration affect the rate of activity of enzymes.
• Enzymes can be denatured.
• Immobilized enzymes are widely used in industry.
Applications and skills:
• Application: Methods of production of lactose-free milk and its advantages.
• Skill: Design of experiments to test the effect of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on the activity of enzymes.
• Skill: Experimental investigation of a factor affecting enzyme activity.
