Energy Flow and Enzymes: Big, Science-y Themes
Regulation
If you were to look at a diagram of all of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a cell, the complexity of the map and the spider web-like qualities of the pathways would be enough to make your head sp...
Structure and Function
In the unit on biomolecules, we learned that proteins (not just enzymes) are the worker bees of the cell. What's more, different proteins have different three-dimensional, or 3D, structures that de...
Unity and Diversity
Despite their common roles in catalyzing biochemical reactions, the diversity of enzymes is massive and daunting. In fact, not all enzymes are even proteins! Some of the "oldest" enzymes around are...
