AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2017 - QUESTION 5

If you know your stuff this will be a pretty simple question. Choosing an appropriate statistical test and justifying why it's the right one for the situation is an absolutely key skill.

Walkthrough

Protein Structure

Types of Reaction, Protein Structure

AS LEVEL - PAPER 2 2018 - QUESTION 2

A nice simple recall question on amino acids and protein structure.

Walkthrough

Enzyme-Substrate Reactions, Calculating Rates, Drawings Graphs Practical Skills

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2019 - QUESTION 7

This question mostly assesses your skills, and is a good example of the type of question that you could get on the enzyme-substrate reaction practical.

Walkthrough

Protein Specificity

Protein Specificity, Antibodies, Data Validity

AS LEVEL - PAPER 2 2017 - QUESTION 7

Classic first part of this question on protein specificity of an antibody, make sure you can answer the same type of question if it asks about a protein receptor or enzyme.

Walkthrough

Enzyme Reactions - Temperature
