Enzyme Examples, Cofactors/Coenzymes, Inhibitors, and Feedback Inhibition

Already watched the Amoeba Sisters first video on enzymes and ready to explore a little more? In this video, the Amoeba Sisters cover a few examples of enzymes in the human body before emphasizing that enzymes are found in all the domains of life - and even in viruses! The importance of cofactors and coenzymes are discussed before moving into competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors. Feedback inhibition is also briefly described.

Imagine taking Biology in college and the Amoeba sister is more useful than a college book.

I wouldn't be able to pass my science class without you guys! 💖

[thaboqwane]

I'm always curious now because of you. I'm watching this at 03:00 AM (South Africa). Thank you, amoeba sisters I wouldn't be able to pass my science class without you guys. I'm now majoring in biology because you made me love science thank you guys ; )

uni student here, my bio professor got fired since he was kind of awful so my in-person class got switched to online, & now i learn everything through your videos. it all makes 200x more sense than anything my old professor said. amazing videos!
