Intro to Biotechnology
Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates at which enzyme-catalyzed reactions occur and how various factors affect these rates. This field helps to understand how enzymes work, how they can be regulated, and how changes in conditions like temperature, pH, and substrate concentration can influence their activity. Understanding enzyme kinetics is essential for manipulating enzymes through techniques like protein engineering and directed evolution.
