In summary, the conversation is about the use of cofactors in enzyme catalyzed reactions. The range of cofactors employed by enzymes includes metal ions and organic molecules. The role of zinc, a cofactor, is described in detail in the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme. The discussion also touches on the chemical functionalities of amino acids present in proteins and the need for cofactors in some reactions. A good title for the essay should include the keywords zinc, cofactor and carbonic anhydrase.

i have been set an essay about cofactors. the title is

while many enzymes catalyse reactions using simply the chemical functions present in amino acid side chains, many others employ a range of other chemical entites( metal ions,organic molecules)as cofactors.

(a),outline, with examples, the range of cofactors employed by enzymes
(b) describe in detail the role one cofactor in the action of a selected enzyme, and
(c) comment on the chemical functionalities of the amino acids present in proteins and on the functionalities which are absent, hence requiring the use of cofactors.


the cofactor i have chosen is zinc and the enzyme i am going to write is about carbonic anhydrase, i am just wondering can anyone here suggest me a good title for my essay?? i don't have a clue at all...thanx thanx

You will have to show us some work before we give an answer.

A good title should be clear, as descriptive as possible and simple. For your subject, the keywords are: zinc, cofactor and carbonic anhydrase.

Try to arrange the words in way that will yield a good title.
 

1. What factors should I consider when choosing a title for my research paper?

When choosing a title for your research paper, there are several factors to consider. These include the main focus or theme of your paper, keywords that accurately describe your research, and the target audience for your paper. It's also important to ensure that your title is clear, concise, and engaging.

2. Should the title of my research paper be a question or a statement?

This depends on the nature of your research and your personal preference. A question title can pique the reader's curiosity and encourage them to read further, while a statement title can accurately convey the main idea of your paper. Ultimately, the most important thing is that your title accurately reflects the content of your research.

3. How long should the title of my research paper be?

Ideally, your title should be no longer than 12-15 words. This will ensure that it is concise and easy to read. However, if your research paper focuses on a complex topic, a longer title may be necessary to accurately convey the main idea.

4. Can I use a quote as the title of my research paper?

Yes, you can use a quote as the title of your research paper, as long as it accurately reflects the content and purpose of your paper. It's important to properly cite the source of the quote and ensure that it is relevant to your research.

5. Is it necessary to include the research methodology in the title of my paper?

This is not necessary, but it can be beneficial depending on your target audience. Including the research methodology in the title can help readers understand the approach you took in your research and may attract those who are specifically interested in that methodology. However, if your research methodology is not a main focus of your paper, it may be better to leave it out of the title.
