Enzyme Compartmentalization
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Compartmentalizing enzymes inside specific organelles restricts where and when they act on their substrates, adding control beyond the enzyme's own binding.
Show
The citric acid cycle's later enzymes work only inside the mitochondrion, kept apart from the rest of the cytoplasm.
Watch for
Compartmentalization controls substrate access, not intrinsic activity — the same enzyme could still function if relocated.
