Turnover Number and Catalytic Efficiency01:19

Turnover Number and Catalytic Efficiency

The turnover number of an enzyme is the maximum number of substrate molecules it can transform per unit time. Turnover numbers for most enzymes range from 1 to 1000 molecules per second. Catalase has the known highest turnover number, capable of converting up to 2.8×106 molecules of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen per second. Lysozyme has the lowest known turnover number of half a molecule per second.

Biomass Energy01:30

Biomass Energy

Biomass EnergyBiomass energy is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials such as plants, wood, and animal waste. These materials store energy from the sun through photosynthesis and can be used to produce heat, electricity, and biofuels. Biomass is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Importance of Biomass EnergyRenewable and Sustainable – Biomass comes from plants and waste materials, making it a continuously available energy...
Fates of Pyruvate01:20

Fates of Pyruvate

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, where glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, simultaneously reducing NAD+ to NADH. Two molecules of ATP are also produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
