# Enzymes: Structure and Function

Produced by the BBC for the British Open University

William Lipscomb, Nobel laureate in chemistry, and George Harburn explain the principles underlying x-ray crystallography and show how the activity of enzymes can be understood by examining their three-dimensional structure. The enzyme carboxypeptidase is used to describe the x-ray technique and to review how structure is related to function. From the Biology: Form and Function series
