DAT Biology

I am preparing with Cliff's AP Bio and Barron's AP Biology book, I know some areas like enzyme kinetics, enzyme regulation are not covered well enough. Are there any other areas which are not covered sufficiently in these two books?

whoa whoa. The DAT will not go over enzyme kinetics in detail, such as michaelis-menten equation etc. Just know that it does not alter the equilibrium constant, you just get there faster and the point where it reaches Vmax is where the enzyme is fully saturated. Know types of inhibition and allosteric regulation. Allosteric binds at site away from active site. Pretty simple.

One example problem from the top of my head would be: use of an enzyme catalyst, will give more products (no), give more reactants (no), will get utilized in the reaction (no), will reach equilibrium (Keq) faster (yes)

when you're condensing an entire field of study into 200 pg study references you're bound to miss stuff. my advice, learn cliff's first before moving on to more detail. if you're brain isn't mush by then, move on to campbell's bio textbook for more detail. good luck

Thanks ttpharm and cfbebeau....Your advice are very valuable..
