Hello everyone.
00:03
Today we're going to discuss about a few properties of enzymes.
00:09
So we know that enzymes are actually biologically activated catalysts.
00:22
They catalyze the biochemical reactions taking place in the living organisms through the mechanism of lowering down the activation energy of the reactions.
00:34
So they lower down the activation energy of the reactions.
00:38
Energy of reactions to proceed earlier.
00:45
Since enzymes are catalyst they cannot be used in a chemical reaction rather they are able to be recycled and again reused.
01:04
They can be reused again and again.
01:08
In addition to this enzymes have a specific globular shape that is three -dimensional and this globular shape is specific.
01:30
This shape is specific for enzyme activity.
01:33
Whenever the globular sheep is destroyed, enzyme activity is also diminished.
01:40
In addition to this, enzymes are specific for specific substrates, which means that, for example, if we have an enzyme pepsin, it can act only on the proteins...
