Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a genetic mutation causes an amino acid substitution in a critical region of an enzyme's active site, discuss the potential experimental approaches you would need to determine the impact on enzyme activity.

💡 Hint: Consider both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an experiment where you manipulate the temperature to observe changes in an enzyme's activity related to its structure. What predictions would you make?

💡 Hint: Think about how enzymes behave under different environmental conditions.
