Summary Prof. Krystyn Van Vliet discusses the importance and utility of enzyme kinetics for drug development. Alongside the video, students derive a rate equation (the Michaelis-Menten equation) for a simple enzyme-substrate system. Returning to the drug development example, students see that rate equations can help them infer information about reaction mechanisms. Learning Objectives After watching this video students will be able to: Explain how enzymes affect reaction rates. Derive a rate law for a general enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
