| Abstract | Students model the action of an enzyme as they become "toothpickase" and break toothpicks. The exercise demonstrates the effects of enzyme and substrate concentration and competitive inhibitors. Students calculate the initial and final rates of reaction. This is a good pre-lab activity for the AP enzyme lab. |
