Discuss an enzyme that acts as a catalyst in a biological system.  What reaction(s) does it catalyze?  What kinds of problems arise if the enzyme isn't working properly?  In what ways is the enzyme's activity regulated?  Other interesting facts about the enzyme? Don't forget to cite your source(s).
When biological enzymes are heated, they lose their catalytic activity.  The change that occurs is an ENDOTHERMIC and SPONTANEOUS process.  Based on the given information, what is the sign of Δ˚G? Based on the given information, what is the sign of Δ˚H? Is the structure of the original enzyme MORE or LESS ordered than the new form? Explain your answer.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that fulfill the following general reaction mechanism: E+S [ES] [EP] E + P Where E is enzyme, S is substrate, and P is product. Briefly describe how an enzyme is able to speed of the rate of a reaction:
