Lyrical Science: Good Riddance (to excess end products)

A sing-along-a-Biology song, for end-product inhibition of metabolic pathways, based on Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)“. Put the audio track on and sing along, karaoke-style.

Enzymes, Core and AHL/Option C

One great enzymatic dollop, for the core content and AHL/ SL Option C. Make sure you use this theory in your write-ups, can relate the action of enzymes to their structure as proteins and look for examples of enzymes in action throughout the course.

Essential Biology 3.6 & 7.6/C2: Enzymes

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.

Enzyme activity and kinetics

Nice virtual lab from KScience.co.uk

Enzyme kinetics from Wiley Interscience

–

Denaturation:

Protein denaturation from McGraw Hill

–

Inhibition

Complete tutorial from Wiley Interscience

What is an enzyme? from Northland

Feedback (end product) inhibition from McGraw Hill

And here’s a quick run down on YouTube:

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.
