H2 Biology Core 1 - Enzyme Kinetics and Inhibition

What you will learn

• Starts with enzymes as biological catalysts that lower activation energy by binding substrate at the active site.
• Walks through the rate vs substrate concentration graph and the meaning of V max and K m.
• Compares competitive inhibition (active site, V max unchanged, K m increased) with non-competitive inhibition (allosteric site, V max decreased, K m unchanged).
