Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals: Concepts, Agents, and Algorithms
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science dedicated to creating intelligent agents, which are systems that can reason, learn, and act autonomously. Essentially, it is about making computers think and behave like humans.
Key Features of Artificial Intelligence
- Learning: The ability to acquire information and rules for using the information. This includes memorizing specific instances and discovering new rules through experience.
- Reasoning: The capacity

Enzyme Activity Regulation
Any substance that reduces the velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be called an inhibitor. The inhibition of enzyme activity is one of the major regulatory mechanisms of the cell. It is of the following types:
Types of Enzyme Inhibition
Competitive Inhibition
Here, organic molecules compete with the substrate for binding at the active site of the enzyme. Such inhibitors show a close resemblance to the substrate of the enzyme. Instead of the enzyme-substrate complex,
