Enzymes: Function & Regulation

Watch next - Protein structure, function & regulation: https://youtu.be/_tyM8t5Wcag If you'd like to support EKG Science 💙 PayPal - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ekgscience --- In this lecture, EKG is going to cover protein structure, function, and regulation. First, we're going to break down the structure of amino acids. Next, you'll learn about the four levels of organisation in the structure of a protein and how the specific shape of a protein determines its function in a cell. Third, how proteins fold in the most energetically favourable pathway and what happens if proteins fold incorrectly. Then, you'll learn how proteins work and how protein activity in the cell is controlled and regulated to maintain an optimal state.  Table of Contents: 0:00 Intro 1:02 Overview of Enzymes 3:22 Activation Energy Barrier 6:58 Substrate Specificity Of Enzymes 10:50 Rate Of Reactions 11:39 Effects Of Local Conditions On Enzyme Activity 13:55 Inhibitors (Competitive & Non-Competitive) 15:37 Allosteric Regulation, Cooperativity & Feedback Inhibition #Enzymes #Cellbiology #Ekgscience
