Enzyme-catalyzed splitting reaction
Learning objectives
- To understand how an enzyme works.
- To understand how a given enzyme can split a given substrate into products.
- To understand how a given enzyme can join two given substrates to form one product.
- To understand why an enzyme is substrate specific.
- To understand how a competitive inhibitor works to slow down the catalytic activity.
Enzymes are catalysts. They speed up the rate of biochemical reactions. They convert a given substrate to the product of the reaction.
