Help your students achieve that "aha moment" with this simple but elegant kit that demonstrates the highly-specific interaction between a substrate and an enzyme. With the Substrate Specificity Kit students can:

• Use color-coded functional groups to construct a substrate and examine its chemical properties.
• Use a mini toober to engineer an enzyme active site specific to the substrate constructed.
• Explore different types of specificity including stereochemical specificity and absolute specificity.
• Discover how subtle changes in enzyme structure can potentially have a significant impact on substrate binding in the active site.
