What is it??
• Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules.• Protein molecules are composed of one or
more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs.
· Enzymes act as CATALYSTS! · Catalysts are chemicals that regulate the
rate of chemical reactions.· Are not consumed or altered during the
reaction

Activation Energy
· Activation Energy is the energy input required to initiate any reaction.

Activation Energy
· Activation Energy is the energy input required
to initiate any reaction.
· Enzymes regulate cell activities (metabolism)
by lowering the activation energy
· reactions, therefore, occur more rapidly and at
lower temperatures.

FUNCTION vs. SHAPE
TWO THEORIES
1) LOCK & KEY THEORY • Each chemical reaction requires its own enzyme
therefore “one reaction = one enzyme” concept• The enzyme forms a temporary bond with a
special molecule called a SUBSTRATE • substrate a molecule on which an enzyme works
– A substrate is always… » the substance acted upon» the substance which is changing
![Page 9: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Active Site the area of an enzyme that combines with the substrate
![Page 10: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Get’in Together• When the substrate and the enzyme
combine or “join” at the active site, the tandem is called an Enzyme-Substrate Complex.
![Page 11: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lock & Key (Con’t)
– The ENZYME-SUBSTRATE COMPLEX then separate into product(s) and enzyme
![Page 12: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Important
• Note that:– The enzyme remains unchanged and ready to
react again with a new substrate.
![Page 13: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Important
• The substrate has been turned into products.
![Page 14: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
INDUCED FIT MODEL• Improved Theory – 1973
– suggests that the shape of the active site does NOT exactly fit the shape of the substrate
– The substrate forces its way into the enzyme
– This makes for a tighter fit– The orientation of the substrate molecules
in the ENZYME-SUBSTRATE COMPLEX helps speed up the chemical reaction by · adding stress to bonds more easily· bringing reactive sites physically closer
together
![Page 15: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Induced Fit (Cont’d)· Once a bond is formed (or broken) in
substrate(s) then products are released and the ENZYME REMAINS UNCHANGED and may be REUSED!· A single enzyme can catalyze several million
reactions in one minute· The same enzyme may also catalyze the reverse
reaction
· The net result is that a one step reaction is converted into a multi-step reaction, therefore, lowering the activation energy – the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.

Naming Enzymes· Enzymes are named after the substrate which it acts
upon· To name an enzyme, usually, the suffix “ase” is
added to the end of the substrate name.
· For example:
Substrate Enzyme
Sucrose Sucrase
Lactose Lactase
Peptide Bonds Peptidase
-Ketoglutarate ... ?????
-Ketoglutarase

Regulation of Enzyme Activity
· METABOLIC PATHWAYS · cellular processes that involve many steps
are controlled by enzymes· one enzyme for each step.
Allosteric Activitya change in an enzyme caused by the binding of a molecule
· Some enzyme’s shape may be altered by a “moderator molecule”. · can be a cofactor (mineral) · Coenzymes (organic molecules) · sometimes even the product molecule.

Cofactors

Regulation of Enzyme Activity· FEEDBACK INHIBITION
· Stops a metabolic pathway· the product of an metabolic pathway
acts as a moderator on an enzyme in the series, thereby altering its shape (active site)
· the enzyme cannot combine with the substrate
· Once the moderator molecule is removed from the moderator site, the active site snaps back to its original shape.

feedback inhibition
• feedback inhibition the inhibition of an enzyme in a metabolic pathway by the final product of that pathway

Factors Affecting Enzyme Reactions
• There are four factors that affect the rate
at which an enzyme can work.
1) Temperature
2) pH
3) Substrate Concentration
4) Competitive Inhibitor Molecules
![Page 25: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
TEMPERATURE
in order for a reaction to occur molecules must collide
· as temperature increases, collisions increase
![Page 26: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DOES RATE OF REACTION INCREASE WITH
TEMPERATURE???• NOT NECESSARILY!!
![Page 27: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which the reaction
is fastest.· Beyond this temperature, the rate of reaction
decreases· This is because at high temperatures, the unique
shape begins to change – denaturation.· This results in a loss of the active site· Each enzyme has its own optimal temperature
· Human body approx. = 370C· Sperm producing enzymes = 340C
· This explains why fevers and colds are dangerous
![Page 28: Enzymes What is it?? Enzymes are PROTEIN molecules. Protein molecules are composed of one or more amino acid chains, folded into uniquely shaped globs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d845503460f94a6a9b0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

pH
· acidity or alkalinity· the lower the number the more acidic· the higher the number the more alkaline· Enzymes have an optimal pH at which the
reaction is fastest· Just like with temperature, pH’s out of
the optimal range will cause a decrease in rate of reaction
· shape changes = enzyme denatures.

CONCENTRATION
· Since molecules must collide for a reaction to occur, it is only logical that the more substrates you have, the greater the chance the enzyme will have of combining and reacting with it.
· The rate does not continue to rise as you add more and more substrate.
· There is a limit to the amount of enzyme available· A substrate cannot join with the active site of an
enzyme until it is free.· Therefore, once the number of substrate molecules
exceeds the number of enzyme reaction sites, the reaction rate levels off.

Competitive Inhibitor Molecules· Competitive Inhibitor molecules interfere
with the enzyme combining with its substrate. –Competitive Inhibitor
· shaped like substrate· COMPETES for active site· fits into active site
· = physically blocks substrate from entering active site
· enzyme becomes useless

Competitive Inhibitor Molecules· Examples:
· Cyanide – binds to enzyme in the Electron Transport Chain preventing formation of ATP.
· Carbon Monoxide – binds to hemoglobin irreversibly, therefore, no oxygen can be carried
· Penicillin – binds to enzyme that allows bacteria to make its protective covering, therefore, bacteria becomes susceptible to the immune system and other drugs
