Enzyme Mechanisms and Kinetics of Catalysis

1 credits · Graduate School

This course is focused on the chemical mechanisms by which enzymes catalyze reactions. Chemical principles are applied to biochemical problems. Major topics include principles of catalysis, enzyme kinetics (both steady-state and pre-equilibrium), roles of cofactors and prosthetic groups in catalysis, and interpretation of kinetic results. Prerequisites: Organic chemistry, biochemistry. SPRING [1] Guengerich
