The next two chapters are ‘theory’ chapters on enzyme structure <strong>and</strong><br />

enzyme catalysis, followed by a ‘practical’ chapter on methods used <strong>to</strong> study<br />

enzymatic reactions. Chapters 5–11 cover each of the major classes of enzymatic<br />

reactions, noting each of the coenzymes used for enzymatic reactions.<br />

Finally, there is a brief introduction in Chapter 12 <strong>to</strong> other types of biological<br />

catalysis. In cases where discussion is brief the interested reader will Wnd<br />

references <strong>to</strong> further reading at the end of each chapter.<br />
