Enzymes as Catalysts
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An enzyme is a protein catalyst that lowers a specific reaction's activation energy without being consumed or changing that reaction's overall free-energy change.
Show
Nearly every reaction inside a cell, from digestion to DNA replication, proceeds at a usable rate only because a specific enzyme catalyzes it.
Watch for
An enzyme changes a reaction's speed, never whether the reaction is exergonic or endergonic.
