False. Factually in error. Enzymes do not "check" anything. 11:16 minutes in. I don't need to look at the rest. He anthropomorphizes all the way through.
Do a quick search on the topic, here what I got when I did off the web.

Both positive and negative feedback loops describe the effect of an intermediate or product of a metabolic pathway on an enzyme that participates in the linked series of reactions. Thus, any metabolite, regardless of how far down the pathway it is, has the potential to be an allosteric regulator and participate in a feedback loop.

Organic molecules have been detected in a distant galaxy:

We can put Prof. Tour to bed now; his claim that organic molecules are improbable is well and truly refuted.

You didn't bother listening to him, so you have a stinking clue what he has said, not sure what or why you are crowing over that.

Anyone who makes so many blunders in the first 11 minutes does not deserve my attention for another half hour. I have better things to do.

You have not produced a blunder, and I doubt you took even 11 minutes to watch it, due to the commits you have said.

Quit using a YouTube video as a ballistic shield. State herein why dear Dr. Tour is still relevant to your case. Is there something else besides his assertions that organic molecules cannot form in space?

I listened to most of it and he is an avowed creationist, do you deny that?

It doesn't matter what he is, does it matter what your views are when it comes to science or does it matter that you get it right whatever it is you are talking about? Take the views about God to the Spiritual Forum.
