ESSAY: CLINICAL USES OF ENZYMESUsing relevant and specific examples, describe the diagnostic and therapeutic uses of enzymes in
medicine and clinical research. Your essay should be between 700-1000 words. It would
probably be helpful to start by defining enzymes in terms of what they do, and why they are
essential in biology. In the essay, be sure to identify at least 1 example of a specific enzyme
used for diagnostics. Describe its normal catalytic activity and details of how it is used to
diagnose specific diseases or conditions. Also identify at least 1 specific enzyme used
therapeutically. Again be sure to specify what the normal function of this enzyme is, and why it
is useful in treating a specific disorder.
INSTRUCTIONS
You must give detailed and well-explained answers to the assignment questions for each module.
It is your responsibility to give clear, easy to understand and precise explanations in your
answers : The material covered in this course is very “molecular” in nature, so as you approach
each assignment, remember the overall objective is to explain clinical and physiological
observations (diseased states) through an understanding of the molecular processes that drive
them. Always make an attempt to explain how the underlying molecular processes give rise to
the observable states associated with human disease.
All assignment submissions should be consistent with the following;
• Length of assignment – Between 500-1000 words, excluding references and title
o The title and reference pages are excluded from the page count. No abstract is
needed.
• Format of assignment – AMA
