Biochemistry II

Enzyme Activity
1. Using named examples, compare reversible and irreversible covalent
modification
2. Using named examples, describe how compartmentalization might serve as a
means of regulating enzyme activity
3. Draw a concept map showing how the different mechanisms of enzyme
regulation are related.
4. Using tryptophan synthase, describe how oligomeric enzymes represent an
advantage for organisms over monomeric enzymes.
