IB Biology C1.1.7 Relationships between structure & function
Practise explaining how protein shape and active-site properties determine enzyme-substrate specificity in short written answers.
How this is tested
- explain enzyme-substrate specificity through complementary active-site shape
- link protein three-dimensional structure to the ability of enzymes to bind substrates
- outline how active-site shape or charge can promote a specific enzyme-substrate fit
