Chemical Kinetics: Reactions and Catalysis

This lecture covers chemical kinetics, focusing on the kinetics of chemical reactions and biological processes. Topics include the theory of collisions, molecular reactions, activation energy, catalysis, enzyme kinetics, and factors influencing enzymatic activity. The lecture also delves into the Michaelis-Menten model, the determination of rate constants, and the application of kinetics in biological processes such as pharmacokinetics and protein folding.
