Introduction to Enzymes Part 2 | AQA Biology | Year 12

Welcome to MyEdSpace! In this follow-up to our enzyme introduction video, we dive deeper into the factors that affect enzyme-controlled reactions—ideal for both Year 12 and Year 13 Biology students.

In this video, we explore:

- The effects of temperature on enzyme activity, including denaturation and the importance of optimum temperature.
- How different pH levels influence enzyme function and why enzymes have varying optimum pH levels.
- The relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate.
- Substrate concentration and the concept of enzyme saturation.
- The difference between competitive and non-competitive enzyme inhibitors, and how they reduce reaction rates.

We also cover experimental methods for determining the type of inhibitor in a reaction. This video provides essential knowledge for A-Level Biology exams, whether you're learning for the first time or revising key concepts.
