At the end of this activity, students should be able to present the components of enzymes, explain the catalytic activity of enzymes, and how reaction rate depends on substrate and enzyme concentrations, explain the substrate specificity of enzymes and the difference between "the lock-and-key" and "induced fit" hypotheses, present the effects of temperature and pH on enzyme activity, present the mechanisms of competitive and non-competitive inhibition of enzyme activity and present the principles of enzyme classification and name the main classes of enzymes.
