Why does your body react differently at high fevers? How do enzymes “choose” their perfect working conditions? And what happens when a sneaky molecule pretends to be the real deal? In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of enzyme activity — from how temperature, pH, and substrate concentration affect their performance to how inhibitors (both competitive and non-competitive) can disrupt the entire process. Whether you're curious about enzyme graphs or wondering what Vmax and Km mean, this one's got you covered. Let’s decode how enzymes get the job done 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Temperature & pH 03:07 - Substrate concentration 05:17 - Vmax/2 & Km 06:25 - Physiological application of Km - GLUT protein 08:08 - Enzyme inhibitors - competitive inhibition 10:15 - Enzyme inhibitors - Non-competitive inhibition Khan Academy India is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
