Enzymes is a simulation to show enzyme-catalysed reactions.

You’ll use it to:

• Show the lock and key theory of enzyme action.
• Explain about specificity.
• Demonstrate how different enzymes work better in different conditions.
• Investigate how concentration, pH and temperature can affect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
• Explain how enzymes denature.
• Compare simulated results to real experiments.
