How Enzymes Work (from PDB-101)

- Every second inside every living cell, thousands of chemical reactions are taking place. These reactions constitute the essential tasks of life such as metabolism, protein synthesis, cell renewal and growth. Learn how the proteins called enzymes work to maintain the rate of these reactions at a life-sustaining level.
Based on atomic structures from the PDB archive, observe the mechanism of aconitase, an enzyme of the citric acid cycle, to understand how enzymes utilize their amino acid residues to catalyze a reaction.
To learn more about enzymes, explore the educational resources on PDB-101 (pdb101.rcsb.org/browse/enzymes).

This is really good.
I've always wanted to know the exact mechanism of how chemical bonds are rearranged in an enzyme's active site instead of just "enzymes speed up a chemical reaction". This helped me gain some insight on that. Thanks a lot!
I can't believe we have really mapped every individual atom, it's position and movement within such huge molecules. At least that's how it appears to me in this kind of animation. It's absolutely amazing.
From what i understand, those reactions really do make those popping sounds.
Biology professors around the world thank you for this wonderful video!
Finally got relief from my hunger of visualising this complex reactions. Thank you so much🙏🏻. More videos like this please
Awesome animation. Please, please, please produce more like this.
this is THE BEST 3D animation I found about enzymes, super clear explanation, beyond my expectation. thank you thank thank you!!!
I can not believe how detailed and clear this video was! Thank you so much!
Came from "In a nutshell: You Are an Impossible Machine" and I feel like this video was a natural extension to their content and answered pretty much all the questions I had about that side of enzymes and portions
Thanks for the great video! Thanks for showing the mechanism of action in the active site; these types of details are almost impossible to find in video form. Great narration too. Thanks!
Great explanation on what enzymes are and how they assist in the chemical reaction process. Thanks a lot.
Superb video with amazing animation. Absolutely stunning that our DNA codes for such a vast array of protein structures. Thank you for sharing.
yesterday my citrate friend went to that enzyme hole, he came out a totally different person.
BRAVO! This is the best video I have seen of enzyme action, I will be sharing this with my students.
Even though I went on to become a mechanical engineer, I really enjoyed chemistry (only inorganic required) and have always wanted to learn more. This was a great animated video which really allows visualization of how enzymes work (Duh, I guess that was what you were going for).
This is the most beautiful part of my day so far!!
Animation quality is very good! Many textbook pages condensed in a 5 minute video - beautiful😀
I love watching these molecules react with each other. So cute, like little animals playing
