IB Biology C1.1.4 Enzymes as globular proteins
Practise relating enzyme structure to function, including amino acid sequence, globular protein shape, active sites and substrate specificity.
How this is tested
- explain why amino acid sequence and folding give enzymes their specific active-site shape
- state the active site as the region where the substrate binds and catalysis occurs
- apply specificity to examples such as tRNA-activating enzymes selecting one amino acid
