Complex Mechanisms: Steady-State Approximation

The video tutorial covers complex reaction mechanisms, focusing on two fundamental techniques: the steady state approximation and the pre equilibrium approximation. It explains the importance of these methods in determining reaction rates and mechanisms. The tutorial delves into the steady state approximation, detailing how to derive rate expressions and its application in enzyme kinetics, particularly in Michaelis Menten kinetics. The video emphasizes the significance of understanding these techniques for complex reaction mechanisms.
