Enzyme Foldable Instructions
Steps:
1.
Create the foldable – Obtain a piece of blank paper. Use your foldable pattern instructions to
create a four-tab, shutter fold (hot-dog style) as shown below. Cut the four front (not the back)
tabs so they lift up.
Tab 1
2.
3.
Tab 2
Tab 3
Tab 4
Label and sketch the following on the OUTSIDE of the front tabs:

On the FRONT of Tab 1, write your name and the title “What is
an Enzyme?” and your name/class period.

On the FRONT of Tab 2, use your notes to write Step 1 (where
an enzyme binds to a substrate).
Also, sketch an enzyme with an active site and a substrate
that will fit in the active site. Color the enzyme RED and the
substrate YELLOW.

On the FRONT of Tab 3, use your notes to write Step 2
(where a substrate fits into the active site of the enzyme
and is changed into products). Sketch an enzyme bound
to its substrate. Color the enzyme RED and the substrate
YELLOW.

On the FRONT of Tab 4, use your notes to write Step 3
(where the products are released out of the enzyme).
Color the enzyme RED and the two products BLUE.
On the INSIDE of each tab, list the following:
o Tab 1 – Write the definitions for enzyme, substrate, & active site
o Tab 2 – Explanation of “lock and key” fit
o Tab 3 – Write 3-4 factors that affect enzyme action
o Tab 4 – Write a few examples of biological enzymes (3 to 4 examples)
