Description: ENZYME MECHANISMS Enzymology is a biological extension of organic chemistry. This course will survey examples of enzyme-catalyzed reactions with emphasis on mechanisms. Enzymes that use catalytic cofactors (vitamins) will be covered, as will those that rely on amino acid side chains. By the end of the course, students should be able to deduce a reasonable mechanism for any enzyme-mediated reaction. Biosciences Group A. Also offered as CHEM 440.
