Enzyme Examples, Cofactors/Coenzymes, Inhibitors, and Feedback Inhibition

[@AmoebaSisters]

We like to pin important comments to address issues or clarifications in our videos. We promise the read is worth expanding! :) We greatly appreciate a commenter who revealed to us that there is an inconsistency in introductory biology sources for non-competitive inhibition. The peer-reviewed source we like to use as our main factual reference is Openstax where they have "In noncompetitive inhibition, an inhibitor molecule binds to the enzyme in a location other than the active site, called an allosteric site, but still manages to *prevent substrate binding* to the active site." Direct Link: openstax.org/books/biology-ap-courses/pages/6-5-enzymes However, in the popular Biology "Campbell" book used by introductory biology courses, the 11th edition states that the substrate can *still bind* but the "active site functions much less effectively." So which is it? After looking at more sources and conversing with some science communicators online and in a biology group Pinky is in, what we are hearing is that while the non-competitive inhibitor alters the enzyme's conformation, sometimes the substrate *can* still bind - and sometimes the substrate *cannot* bind - it depends on the non-competitive inhibitor type and enzyme. Thus, focusing on the binding can be problematic since substrates may still bind so we have now included this sentence *"if the substrate still binds, the enzyme's active site might not function well. Or at all."*

Can you please recommend a book in Biology (zoology to be precise). I have taken the Campbell bio 7th edition and it was quite interesting !

[@emmagao8642]

Hello @AmeobaSisters! Your videos helped me alot during my home-education. I watched most of your videos and I understand the topics better. I know that you both have you own children and you are still working hard to making these videos. Are you going to continue to make videos on Advanced biology (College Level), or do you think you might need to have a break before coming back to making videos? I don't want to push you to much, but if you could, it would be great :)

[@Viper-ew4wp]

Ok you are a good channel but why is it that its called amoeba sisters when it is only one talking and not two Just take out purple

[@mahinmuntaha1068]

besties, please make a video on centrioles and microtubules, its so confusing pls

[@sandrapuentes9717]

Can y’all make videos more often please

Imagine taking Biology in college and the Amoeba sister is more useful than a college book.

uni student here, my bio professor got fired since he was kind of awful so my in-person class got switched to online, & now i learn everything through your videos. it all makes 200x more sense than anything my old professor said. amazing videos!

[@NewWesternFront]

how was he awful

The fact that I've been watching your videos since grade 9 and now I've graduated and am in University. Truly shows how good your videos are, can be watched by all age groups

Wow! This is the first video I've watched that is very recent (just 1 month ago). All of the videos I've watched from this channel were way back 3-5 years ago and I'm very happy that until now, this channel is still active! ✨ Keep it up Amoeba Sisters! You have helped me get through this online/modular class amidst pandemic. I'm currently in the 12th Grade and by next year, I'm going to graduate from my Senior High and take another step further into College! I will still go back here to your channel because I will take a Biology Course! 🦋 If I graduate from my college and become a doctor of any type, I promise that I will again comment here or any of your videos! I'm reaching my dreams and you're one of the stepping stones that will help me through it! God Bless 💖
