Chemical reactions are governed by a myriad of factors, such as the medium through which the reaction takes place, the available resources for reactions, and many others. Energy is intricately involved in chemical reactions, commonly displayed as the irradiation of light and heat. Chemical thermodynamics seeks to take a closer look at the relationship between reactions and the heat they produce. Another area of interest in chemical reactions is kinetics, which seeks to calculate how many actions are occurring during a period of time, or how commonly they occur.
In this course, the student will be introduced to the principles of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. For optimal comprehension, the student is expected to have a college-level understanding of chemistry and physics.

Me encantó como lo ha explicado, paso a paso, de manera detallada y concisa. He aprendido mucho gracias a este video, ¡gracias!
This lesson is explained very well! It's clear to me what Lineweaver-Burk plot means and how enzymes are most efficient when they have high Kcat/low Km
I like all videos & I want to more teach you about this and your lectures is so brilliant
Dr. Ahern is amazing at linking what he's about to teach to previous videos.

Recomendo pra todos que querem saber melhor sob Medina das universidades
Prof Kevin Ahern is incredible! Great summary and really well explained!
Professor Kevin make it enjoyable course; It helped not only in remembering many info that I forgot in the class, but also I did learn many new valuable information. The fact that the explanation provided by Dr. Kevin is so easy to understand and memorize, make this course very interesting.
Very concise and simple explanations. He made it easy to understand.
man, i was so confused about this topic but now I'm clear , I'm very pleased
This lecture provided me with so much clarity. Thank you
Interesting. I have tries to learn this about 2-3 times but never quiet stuck in my mind. Too easy to forget why an enzyme does this or that, however Dr.Kevins way of sharing the WHY this is significant really helped conndct the dots.
such a hard concept explained so easy and well. such an amazing work sir
The lectures on Enzyme and Enzymes Kinetics were thorough. There were detailed information on some important concepts.
I love the way he explained enzyme.... A brief and easy to understand lecture
Thank you Dr. Kevin Ahern. You made me fall in love with biochemistry.
I always enjoyed Dr Ahern's handling of the Biochemistry subject, especially his eplanations
Every slide has been clearly explained in detailed form. Thanks sir.
I really like the video, makes medical biochemistry easier to understand
Before Lecturio I struggled with comprehending the mechanism of proteases and enzyme kinetics. Dr. Ahern brilliantly & easily explained these concepts in less than 5 minutes. I am currently in a graduate program for Medical Sciences, we have cumulative exams every quarter & I was just memorizing the info but now I finally understand. I recommend Lecturio to pre-meds, MCAT, and Med students.
Dr. Ahern is a fantastic lecturer. All the course is simply awsome.
I believe the term is entropy is misused in this lecture.
Excellent lecture. Understood Bohr effect better than ever. I love these lectures.
The Professor is excellent, every one can understand easily de concepts
Excellent teacher . Great lectures . He knows how to teach the subject matter
I like how Dr. Cornwall recaps chemistry and relation to energy to cells. Her hand motions help with my learning and understanding. Thank you.
I like the practical comparisons used for better understanding and remembering the topic, makes it much easier and more entertaining!
I love it... 100% worth it... Made it simple and easy to understand!
Dr. Ahern creates a great foundation by breaking down concepts and building on them throughout the lectures.
I finally understood why we have Lineweaver Burk Plot and how we read it.
Great lecture. You have a great and enthusiastic way of explaining.
Perfect way of explaining complex things. This is rarely seen by lecturers. Wow!
Attaractively and well explained video of serine protease catalytic mechanism that I have ever seen...Thank you..????
Amazing lectures! Very well explained and effective videos. A perfect way to get a clear view of the subjects, very glad I found this.
THANK YOU Pro Ahern you're amazing! very well explained!
Professor Ahern is a perfect teacher and he makes everything so easy to understand
Great job again Dr. Ahern! You have helped me better my understanding of these topics.
very informative and well explained lecture. Dr. Kevin Ahern has changed my view of biochemistry.
Very well put. Dr Kevin Ahern explains difficult topics in a very short concise and interesting manner.
Great enzyme analogy! Enzyme is the friend who puts his two other friends in contact with each other so that they can start talking and dating ;)
Not my favorite subject but very well explained and understanded.
It is really helpful. I appreciate your kind efforts. Thanks verh much.
It was just amazing, he was critic to give information and had the most important skills for me, and that is: perfect didactic. Had all concise information I needed.
He simplified the concepts and illustrated by a very nice way
Excellent delivery of content which was easy to understand Good use of diagrams and graphs to help explain key concepts
I liked the lecture and the diagrams, I can put 5 stars yet because I am unsure how relevant everything is. Pretty basic biochem, but it was a good refresher. The diagrams are helpful.
The material covered a wide variety and having a non-science background it is clear and easy to understand.
I like how Dr. Ahern took his time to explain the topic in an articulate manner. Helped me understand the topic and want to learn it more.
El semestre pasado apenas y me di cuenta de todo lo que la enzimas y las reacciones significaban, ahora creo tener una visión mucho ma completa, GRACIAS
Very easily to follow. The concepts are explained so that one who isn’t familiar with biochem can understand with ease.
Doctor Ahren. Great explanations and enhances my knowledge in biochemistry, i´d rather reccomend you tu use a lower velocity on your explanations because some of the students are foreigners and they probably may lose the idea. Nevertheless i´m completely satisfied with your video lectures.
Simplified the lecture in enzymes and i like how everything was explained in a simple but direct way. :)
The best lecture I ever heard.I liked everything about it. I would recommend this to all students studying Physics.
Wow! Never thought I’d be amazed by the clarity and succintness of the discussion. Packs into a few minutes what would take a four hour lecture to discuss. Defintely recommended these lectures to my friends who are struggling with biochemistry and don’t want to use the books so much.
It is very clearly and enthusiastically explained. You make Biochem easy to understand.
As a medical student I found this series of lectures on enzymes extremely clarifying. Dr Ahern is a great lecturer. Thank you so much.
Professor Dr. Kevin Ahern is very clear in presenting. Love the short but very informative lectures. Would recommend to everyone, those with or without biochemistry understanding. Thank you very much Professor and Thanks to the maker of Lecturio.
I understood perfectly the concepts the way he explained them. He makes it ease to grasp
Very simple and easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this course.
I love to use this great app to review my med knowledge!
no words can describe how much this was amazingly useful
l am a pre-med student and after watching this lecture I decided I was definitely subscribing! Everything was explained clearly and I understood the concept completely.
Both comprehensive and simple lectures, could use some more medical/clinical correlations, though.
It is fantastic to have a lecturer making a diffucult subject easy. Now i can not wait diving into some hardcore books about enzymes. Watching an inspiring teacher really makes a difference. This guy is also rather fast talking so you dont need to speed up, witch i do quite often. Also the pop quiz in the end just makes it so much more fun. It becomes a game. And thats great and enhances long term memory.
It had been a few years since reviewing enzyme kinematics, this was a great refresher!
it´s great conference, well explain, clear and simple. like ir a lot
The facilitators are very good because they motivate you to learn.
thanks. the lecture was very informative and concise for such a complicated topic
the plot charts are really confusing. takes a few replays to grasp a little.
Lecturer seems to know the material and is able to convey in a manner that is engaging
These lessons are brilliant enjoyed them so much I have bought some books by Kevin Ahern, PhD the questions at the end also reinforce learning.
This is professor is really good at explaining concepts and is thorough with getting caught up in the details
A very clear understanding of the basic concepts was developed by Kevin. Good examples and perfect illustrations made everything so easy and interesting.
very clear Explanation; I managed to understand mechanism for each type of Ihnibitors thus I can now draw the lineweaver plots.
Great constructive instruction at a understandable medical level thank you! Thelma Boshoff
