infoWhy this? We study enzymes because they are biological catalysts that control almost every chemical reaction in cells, so understanding how they work and what affects their activity is essential for explaining metabolism, respiration, digestion and many applications in medicine and industry.

scheduleWhy now? Having looked at biological molecules and cells, you are ready to understand how these molecules are used in real reactions inside cells, which prepares you for later topics such as respiration, photosynthesis, digestion and the effects of temperature, pH and inhibitors on living systems.
