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.
