Chemical catalysis (transition state theory, principles of catalysis, covalent catalysis, kinetic isotope effect); Enzyme catalysis; The basic equations of enzyme kinetics (steady-state kinetics, Michaelis-Menten model, inhibition, multisubstrate systems); Measurements and magnitude of individual rate constants (conventional methods, rapid methods-stopped flow, relaxation, quenching, analysis of pre-steady state and relaxation kinetics); The pH dependence of enzyme catalysis; Practical methods for kinetics and equilibria; Detection of intermediates in enzymatic reactions; Irreversible inhibition; Allosteric interactions (positive and negative cooperativity, Hill equation); Stereochemistry of enzymatic reactions; Enzyme-substrate complementarity and the use of binding energy in catalysis; Specificity of enzyme catalysis (limits on specificity; editing or proofreading mechanisms); Catalytic RNA; Selected examples of enzymatic reactions.
