Enzyme Basics & How Do They Lower Activation Energy

The video tutorial covers the basics of enzyme function, structure, and their role as biological catalysts. It explains how enzymes accelerate reactions by lowering activation energy through alternate pathways. The tutorial also discusses how to read biochemical reactions, enzyme naming conventions, and the importance of optimal conditions for enzyme activity. Additionally, it highlights the role of cofactors and coenzymes in enzyme function.
