Document Summary

*enymes are able to lower activation energy forwards or backwards for the reaction. Catalytic mechanism- speci c steps involved in converting reactants to products. The overall rate k of the reaction that takes place. K is always positive velocity of reaction- instantaneous rate of appearance of product or disappearance of reactant. Check units for 1st order reactions compared to 2nd order reactions. Concentrations of products and reactant should be the opposite of each other as the reaction proceeds. As reactants are consumed, products are being formed. Thus the energy of activation decreases as the rate increases. Max velocity of an enzyme is when its completely saturated & also deals with the. Low concentrations of s cause there to be low velocity for the enzyme This essentially means that the enzyme is not saturated for the reactions to proceed.
