Enzyme Kinetics
In beer and wine production, enzymes in yeast aid the conversion of sugar into ethanol. Enzymes are used in cheese-making to degrade proteins in milk, changing their solubility, and causing the proteins to precipitate. Many industrial processes ranging from fruit juice production to paper production to biofuel production utilize enzymes. In this video you'll see that studying how enzymes catalyze reactions can help us design better therapeutics. This video is part of the Differential Equations video series. Laws that govern a system's properties can be modeled using differential equations. Hi. My name is Krystyn Van Vliet and I am a professor in the Materials Science and Engineering and Biological Engineering departments at MIT. of reactions and after some practice, you will be able to derive a rate law for a general enzyme-catalyzed reaction. In order to understand the topic of this video, you should be familiar with determining rate laws from experimental data, ...
