Enzyme catalysis

I couldn't find my favorite interactive animation for this part but I guess these links will suffice for now. I'll post the missing one soon if I manage to find it. For now enjoy these ya.

well, enzymes can be interesting if you understand the mechanisms in the protein molecule that make them work. but i won't bore you with that. ;)

hye AQILA here. i got confused, as usual. when the non competitive inhibitors binds to the other side of the enzyme, the substrate still cant produce products? and when the substarte leaves, the non competitive changes the active site ? :D thanks.

hi aqilah. sorry it took me so long to reply. yes, the substrate still can't be produced but i don't understand your second question. you want to clarify a bit more?
