Enzymes 1

The video tutorial explains the role of catalysts in chemical reactions, focusing on enzymes as biological catalysts. It highlights the critical role of enzymes in metabolism, enabling reactions at lower temperatures. The classification of enzymes by the IUBMB into six classes is discussed, along with the structure and function of enzymes, including the active site and cofactors. The enzyme-substrate interaction is explained through models like the lock and key and induced fit, emphasizing how enzymes lower activation energy to facilitate reactions.
