Acknowledgement: I gratefully thank Dr. Manfred Philipp for directing the lectures of this enzymology class at The Graduate Center. A whole variety of topics regarding enzyme catalysis were covered through the participation of successful investigators in the field of enzymology. I would also thanks Dr. Philipp for providing me with an introductory insight into the field of bioinformatics.
