Essay on Enzymes

I have to produce a fairly meaty essay on enzymes. As far as content goes, I've thought of; enzyme-catalysed reations, catabolism, anamolism, metabolism, optimum pH and optimum temp effects on enzyme "efficiency"; denaturing of enzymes, functions of enzymes dependent on structure - and that's about it! I'm as good as stuck on what else to include. I'm open to any relevent ideas! Cheers.

You could include how enzymes are produced in the body; transcription, translation etc...

. . . inhibitors (all the different kinds) how they work etc. . . also talk about what an enzyme is in basic terms i.e. a protein whose tertiary structure is important but genereally globular, you might want to include some specific examples as well?! Dunno lol hope that helps you.
