The chemical process of catalysis happens in a myriad of places in our modern world - from industry to inside your cells. Our knowledge of catalysis today springs from Elizabeth Fulhame, who over 225 years ago became the first person to...

Paul Andersen explains how catalysts can speed up a reaction without being consumed in the reaction. Catalysts can lower the activation energy of reaction be stabilizing the transition state. They can also create new reaction pathways...

With the basic principles of homogeneous catalysis understood, let's move on to heterogeneous catalysis. This is where the catalyst and reagents are in different phases. Typically, the reagents are in the liquid or gas phase, flowing...

Now that we understand the goal of transition metal catalysis, it's time to look at the two main ways in which this is achieved. There is homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. Let's focus on homogeneous catalysis first,...

After learning about the different kinds of organometallic reactions, we are ready to learn about transition metal catalysis. This is an incredible field that has pushed organic synthesis forward in leaps and bounds over the past 50...

Factors Affecting Enzyme Function explains how changes in pH, temperature, and concentration levels can affect enzyme function.

Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Organic Mechanism

It explains the process of catalysis. It describes the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. It discusses the adsorption theory of heterogeneous catalysis.

Coproporphyrinogen Oxidase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Organic Mechanism

In this video, we explore the catalytic mechanism of glycogen synthase, a key enzyme in glycogenesis.

For this one we need to understand the stereospecificity of hydrogenation over platinum metal, stereochemical relationships, and the relative stability of cyclohexane chair conformations.

Properties Of Water, Part 5

Learn the basics about the principle of green chemistry that concerns catalysis, as a part of environmental chemistry. A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction. This means that desired products can be made more quickly, using...
