Abstract
The previous chapter laid the foundation for a solid understanding of kinetics. The next learning objective is to connect what has been learned thus far to metabolic regulation. To do this it is necessary to learn how enzymes operate. Enzymes are the mediators of biochemical reactions and their catalytic action is underpinned by kinetics.
