Properties of Enzymes
• Catalyst - speeds up attainment of reaction equilibrium
• Enzymatic reactions - 103 to 1017 faster than the corresponding uncatalyzed reactions
• Substrates - highly specific reactants for enzymes
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 2
Properties of enzymes (continued)
• Stereospecificity - many enzymes act upon only one stereoisomer of a substrate
• Reaction specificity - enzyme product yields are essentially 100% (there is no formation of wasteful byproducts)
• Active site - where enzyme reactions take place

The Six Classes of Enzymes
1. Oxidoreductases (dehydrogenases)
• Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 4
2. Transferases
• Catalyze group transfer reactions
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 5
3. Hydrolases
• Catalyze hydrolysis reactions where water is the acceptor of the transferred group
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 6
4. Lyases
• Catalyze lysis of a substrate, generating a double bond in a nonhydrolytic, nonoxidative elimination (Synthases catalyze the addition to a double bond, the reverse reaction of a lyase)

6. Ligases (synthetases)
• Catalyze ligation, or joining of two substrates
• Require chemical energy (e.g. ATP)

Kinetic Experiments Reveal Enzyme Properties
A. Chemical Kinetics
• Experiments examine the amount of product (P) formed per unit of time ([P] / t)
• Velocity (v) - the rate of a reaction (varies with reactant concentration)
• Rate constant (k) - indicates the speed or efficiency of a reaction
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 10
First order rate equation
• Rate for nonenzymatic conversion of substrate (S) to product (P) in a first order reaction: (k is expressed in reciprocal time units (s-1))
[P] / t = v = k[S]
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 11
Second order reaction
• For reactions: S1 + S2 P1 + P2
• Rate is determined by the concentration of both substrates
• Rate equation: v = k[S1]1[S2]1
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 12
Pseudo first order reaction
• If the concentration of one reactant is so high that it remains essentially constant, reaction becomes zero order with respect to that reactant
• Overall reaction is then pseudo first-order
v = k[S1]1[S2]0 = k’[S1]1
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 13
B. Enzyme Kinetics
• When [S] >> [E], every enzyme binds a molecule of substrate (enzyme is saturated with substrate)
• Under these conditions the rate depends only upon [E], and the reaction is pseudo-first order
• Enzyme-substrate complex (ES) - complex formed when specific substrates fit into the enzyme active site
E + S ES E + P
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 14
Effect of enzyme concentration [E] on velocity (v)
• Fixed, saturating [S]
• Pseudo-first order enzyme-catalyzed reaction
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 15
Initial velocity (vo)
• Velocity at the beginning of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is vo (initial velocity)
• k1 and k-1 represent rapid noncovalent association /dissociation of substrate from enzyme active site
• k2 = rate constant for formation of product from ES E + S ES E + P
k1 k2
k-1
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 16
Progress curve for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
• The initial velocity (vo) is the slope of the initial linear portion of the curve
• Rate of the reaction doubles when twice as much enzyme is used
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 17
The Michaelis-Menten Equation
• Maximum velocity (Vmax) is reached when an enzyme is saturated with substrate (high [S])
• At high [S] the reaction rate is independent of [S] (zero order with respect to S)
• At low [S] reaction is first order with respect to S
• The shape of a vo versus [S] curve is a rectangular hyperbola, indicating saturation of the enzyme active site as [S] increases
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 18
Plots of initial velocity (vo) versus [S]
(a) Each vo vs [S] point is from one kinetic run
(b) Michaelis constant (Km) equals the concentration of substrate needed for 1/2 maximum velocity
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 19
The Michaelis-Menten equation
• Equation describes vo versus [S] plots
• Km is the Michaelis constant
Vmax[S]
vo =
Km + [S]
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 20
A. Derivation of the Michaelis-Menten Equation
• Derived from
(1) Steady-state conditions:
Rate of ES formation = Rate of ES decomposition
(2) Michaelis constant: Km = (k-1 + k2) / k1
(3) Velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction (depends upon rate of conversion of ES to E + P)
vo = k2[ES]
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 21
B. The Meanings of Km
• Km = [S] when vo = 1/2 Vmax
• Km k-1 / k1 = Ks (the enzyme-substrate dissociation constant) when kcat << either k1 or k-1
• The lower the value of Km, the tighter the substrate binding
• Km can be a measure of the affinity of E for S
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 22
Kinetic Constants Indicate Enzyme Activity and Specificity
• Catalytic constant (kcat) - first order rate constant for conversion of ES complex to E + P
• kcat most easily measured when the enzyme is saturated with S (region A on Figure 5)
• Ratio kcat /Km is a second order rate constant for E + S E + P at low [S] concentrations (region B on Figure 5)

Values of kcat/Km
• kcat/Km can approach rate of encounter of two uncharged molecules in solution (108 to 109M-1s-1)
• kcat/Km is also a measure of enzyme specificity for different substrates (specificity constant)
• rate acceleration = kcat/kn
(kn = rate constant in the absence of enzyme)

Reversible Enzyme Inhibition
• Inhibitor (I) binds to an enzyme and prevents formation of ES complex or breakdown to E + P
• Inhibition constant (Ki) is a dissociation constant EI E + I
• There are three basic types of inhibition: Competitive, Uncompetitive and Noncompetitive
• These can be distinguished experimentally by their effects on the enzyme kinetic patterns
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 27
Reversible enzyme inhibitors
(a) Competitive. S and I bind to same site on E
(b) Nonclassical competitive. Binding of S at active site prevents binding of I at separate site. Binding of I at separate site prevents S binding at active site.
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 28
Reversible enzyme inhibitors(cont)
(c) Uncompetitive. I binds only to ES (inactivates E)
(d) Noncompetitive. I binds to either E or ES to inactivate the enzyme
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 29
A. Competitive Inhibition
• Inhibitor binds only to free enzyme (E) not (ES)
• Substrate cannot bind when I is bound at active site(S and I “compete” for the enzyme active site)
• Vmax is the same with or without I (high S can still saturate the enzyme even in the presence of I)
• Apparent Km (Kmapp) measured in the presence of I is
larger than KM (measured in absence of I)
• Competitive inhibitors usually resemble the substrate

B. Uncompetitive Inhibition
• Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to ES not to free E
• Vmax decreased by conversion of some E to ESI
• Km (Kmapp) is also decreased
• Lines on double-reciprocal plots are parallel
• This type of inhibition usually only occurs in multisubstrate reactions
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002

Uncompetitive inhibition
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 33
C. Noncompetitive Inhibition
• Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to both E and ES
• Inhibitors do not bind at the same site as S
• Vmax decreases
• Km does not change
• Inhibition cannot be overcome by addition of S
• Lines on double-reciprocal plot intersect on x axis

Noncompetitive inhibition
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 35
Irreversible Enzyme Inhibition
• Irreversible inhibitors form stable covalent bonds with the enzyme (e.g. alkylation or acylation of an active site side chain)
• There are many naturally-occurring and synthetic irreversible inhibitors
• These inhibitors can be used to identify the amino acid residues at enzyme active sites
• Incubation of I with enzyme results in loss of activity
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 36
Inhibition of serine protease with DFP
• Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) is an organic phosphate that inactivates serine proteases
• DFP reacts with the active site serine (Ser-195) of chymotrypsin to form DFP-chymotrypsin
• Such organophosphorous inhibitors are used as insecticides or for enzyme research
• These inhibitors are toxic because they inhibit acetylcholinesterase (a serine protease that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine)

Coenzymes and Vitamins
Apoenzyme + Cofactor Holoenzyme
(protein only) (active)
(inactive)
• Some enzymes require cofactors for activity
(1) Essential ions (mostly metal ions)
(2) Coenzymes (organic compounds)
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 39
Coenzymes
• Coenzymes act as group-transfer reagents
• Hydrogen, electrons, or other groups can be transferred
• Larger mobile metabolic groups can be attached at the reactive center of the coenzyme

Many Enzymes Require Inorganic Cations
• Enzymes requiring metal ions for full activity:
(1) Metal-activated enzymes have an absolute requirement or are stimulated by metal ions (examples: K+, Ca2+, Mg2+)
(2) Metalloenzymes contain firmly bound metal ions at the enzyme active sites (examples:
iron, zinc, copper, cobalt )
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 42
Protein Coenzymes
• Protein coenzymes (group-transfer proteins) contain a functional group as part of a protein or as a prosthetic group
• Participate in:(1) Group-transfer reactions (2) Oxidation-reduction reactions where transferred group is a hydrogen or an electron
• Metal ions, iron-sulfur clusters and heme groups are commonly found in these proteins
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 43
Coenzyme Classification
• There are two classes of coenzymes
(1) Cosubstrates are altered during the reaction and regenerated by another enzyme
(2) Prosthetic groups remain bound to the enzyme during the reaction, and may be
covalently or tightly bound to enzyme
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 44
Classification of coenzymes in mammals
(1) Metabolite coenzymes - synthesized from common metabolites
(2) Vitamin-derived coenzymes - derivatives of vitamins (vitamins cannot be synthesized by mammals, but must be obtained as nutrients)

04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 47
B. Vitamin-Derived Coenzymes and Nutrition
• Vitamins are required for coenzyme synthesis and must be obtained from nutrients
• Animals rely on plants and microorganisms for vitamin sources (meat supplies vitamins also)
• Most vitamins must be enzymatically transformed to the coenzyme

NAD and NADP are cosubstrates for dehydrogenases
• Oxidation by pyridine nucleotides always occurs two electrons at a time
• Dehydrogenases transfer a hydride ion (H:-) from a substrate to pyridine ring C-4 of NAD+ or NADP+
• The net reaction is:
NAD(P)+ + 2e- + 2H+ NAD(P)H + H+

Regulation of Enzyme Activity
• Regulatory enzymes - activity can be reversibly modulated by effectors
• Such enzymes are usually found at the first unique step in a metabolic pathway (the first “committed” step)
• Regulation at this step conserves material and energy and prevents accumulation of intermediates
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 63
Two Methods of regulation
(1) Noncovalent allosteric regulation
(2) Covalent modification
• Allosteric enzymes have a second regulatory site (allosteric site) distinct from the active site
• Allosteric inhibitors or activators bind to this site and regulate enzyme activity via conformational changes
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 64
A. Regulation by Covalent Modification
• Interconvertible enzymes are controlled by covalent modification
• Converter enzymes catalyze covalent modification
• Converter enzymes are usually controlled themselves by allosteric modulators

Pyruvate dehydrogenase regulation
• Phosphorylation stabilizes the inactive state (red)
• Dephosphorlyation stabilizes the active state (green)
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 67
B. Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) Is an Allosteric Enzyme
• PFK-1catalyzes an early step in glycolysis (an ATP-generating pathway for glucose degradation)
• Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), an intermediate near the end of the pathway is an allosteric inhibitor of PFK-1
• ADP is an allosteric activator of PFK-1
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 68
Regulation of glycolysis by PFK-1
• When the ratio [PEP]/[ADP] is high, flux through glycolysis decreases at the PFK-1 step
• When the ratio of [PEP]/[ADP] is low, PFK-1 is activated and glycolysis produces more ATP from ADP
• Thus the concentrations of PEP and ADP act allosterically through PFK-1 to regulate the activity of the entire pathway

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 71
Effect of PEP and ADP on PFK-1
• Both PEP and ADP affect the binding of the substrate fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to PFK-1
• PFK-1 exhibits a sigmoidal (S-shaped) vo versus [S] curve. This is due to the cooperativity of S binding.
• Increasing ADP concentrations lowers the apparent Km for F6P without affecting Vmax (activates PFK)
• The allosteric inhibitor PEP raises the apparent Km without changing Vmax
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 72
Plots of initial velocity versus F6P for PFK-1
• ADP is an allosteric activator of PFK-1 and lowers the apparent Km without affecting Vmax
• For a given F6P concentration the vo is larger in the presence of ADP
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 73
C. General Properties of Allosteric Enzymes
1. Activities of allosteric regulator enzymes are changed by inhibitors and activators (modulators)
2. Allosteric modulators bind noncovalently to the enzymes that they regulate
3. Regulatory enzymes possess quaternary structure
(continued next slide)
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 74
General properties of regulatory enzymes (cont)
4. Regulatory enzymes have at least one substrate which has a sigmoidal vo versus [S] curve (positive cooperativity of multiple substrate binding sites)
5. There is a rapid transition between the active (R) and inactive (T) conformations
6. Substrates and activators may bind only to the R state while inhibitors may bind only to the T state
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 75
Rapid transition exists between R and T states
• Addition of S increases concentration of the R state
• Addition of I increases concentration of the T state
• Activator molecules bind preferentially to R, leading to an increase in the R/T ratio
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 76
Role of cooperativity of binding in regulation
• Addition of modulators alters enzyme activity
• Activators can lower Km, inhibitors can raise Km
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 77
D. Two Theories of Allosteric Regulation
Concerted theory - (symmetry-driven theory).
• Only 2 conformations exist: R and T ( symmetry is retained in the shift between R and T states)
• Subunits are either all R or all T
• R has high affinity for S, T has a low affinity for S
• Binding of S shifts the equilibrium toward all R state
• Binding of I shifts the equilibrium toward all T state
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 78
Sequential Theory (ligand-induced theory)
• A ligand may induce a change in the structure of the subunit to which it binds
• Conformational change of one subunit may affect the conformation of neighboring subunits
• A mixture of both R (high S affinity) and T (low S affinity) subunits may exist (symmetry does not have to be conserved)
04/08/23Prentice Hall c2002
supartono 79
Two models
(a) Concerted model: subunits either all T state or all R state
(b) Sequential model: Mixture of T subunits and R subunits is possible. Binding of S converts only that subunit from T to R
