Enzymes 2

The video tutorial explains that enzymes are protein catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. It describes the structure of enzymes, highlighting the active sites where substrates bind. The tutorial further explains the process of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, including the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and the transition state, ultimately leading to the conversion of substrates into products.

What happens to the substrate during an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

Explain the concept of activation energy in the context of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
