Enzymes (Core and AHL & C2)

Covering the core and AHL/ SL Option C content, here is a rundown of enzymes, from active sites to end-product inhibition. Again, there are lots of animation resources out there, many of which are used in the presentation – click on the shadowed images to go there.

Enzyme Basics:

What is an enzyme? from Northland (the best one – including inhibitors, pathways and feedback inhibition)

How enzymes work from McGraw Hill

Enzyme basics from KScience.co.uk

A full collection of savable enzyme animations from Husam Medical

And John Giannini’s Enzyme collection is nice and clear.
