• Enzyme kinetics
• Catalytic mechanisms
• Regulation of enzyme activity
• Enzyme inhibition
• Louis Pasteur (1850s): ferments, vitalism
• Eduard Buchner (1897): fermentation is done by molecules
• Frederick W. Kuhne: coined the name enzyme
• James Sumner (1926): isolated urease and said enzymes are made up of proteins.
• J.B.S. Haldane: weak interactions between enzyme and substrate are important for catalysis
Enzymes
Definition;Definition;
•Chemical reactions in cells requirespecific catalysis.
•Enzymes are proteins which performthis function.-12kDa - 1,000kDa or more -larger than their substrate
Enzymes Enzymes
• Metabolite acted upon is called the enzyme’s substrate.
• Active site
-some residues involved in binding substrate
-others catalyze reaction
Cofactors
for some reactions, the amino acids are not powerful enough for catalysis. Enzymes overcome this by incorporate additional factors.
-metal ions as cofactors Zn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+
-coenzymes are organic cofactors
Prosthetic Group
Coenzyme or metal ion cofactor bound to enzyme either tightly or covalently.
-holoenzyme
-apoenzyme
Cofactor and Coenzymes
Properties of Enzymes
• Enzymes are excellent catalysts-speeding up reactions 108 to 1020 fold
• Not used up during a reactions • Specificity for substrate
-absolute (eg., DNA polymerase)
-broad range (eg., synthesis of secondary metabolites)
• Regulated- some enzymes can sensemetabolic signals.
Classification of EnzymesClassification of Enzymes
• named and classified according to the substrate acted upon and the reaction catalyzed.
• trivial names- end in –ase. (eg., urease, hexokinase.
• based on a formal systemic catalog (IUB) with six major classifications.
Reaction Rates and theReaction Rates and theTransition StateTransition State
• In order to react, the molecules involvedare distorted, strained or forced to havean unlikely electronic arrangement.
• That is the molecules must pass through ahigh energy state.
• This high energy state is called the transition statetransition state.
• The energy required to achieve it is calledthe activation energyactivation energy for the reaction.
The higher the freeenergy change for the transition barrier, the slower the reaction rate.
Enzymes lower energybarrier by forcing thereacting moleculesthrough a differenttransition state.
Eg.,
C12H22O11 + 12O2 12CO2 + 11H2O
Reaction IntermediatesTransient chemical species formed during a rxn
Rate limiting step When many steps are involved the overall rate of the Reaction is determined by the step which has the Highest activation-energy
Relationship between reaction equilibrium and
free energy Equilibrium constant is directlyrelated to free energy
Large negative free energy favors reaction
Rate of a reaction
Unimolecular or first order reaction;
V=k[S]Units are s-1
Rate for second order reaction;
V= k[S1][S2]
for transition statek = kT / h e-ΔG/RT
Lower activation energy means faster rxn rates
How enzymes do it?
Binding energy (ΔGB)Energy derived from enzyme substrate interaction.-transient covalent bond in the active site-non-covalent interactions to form ES
Role of binding energy in catalysis
k = kT / h e-ΔG/RT
ΔG+ must be lowered by 5.7kJ/mol to accelerate first order reaction.
•Specificity is derived from the formation of many weak interactions between the enzyme and its specific substrate.
• Entropy reduction
• Desolvation of substrate
• ES complex
• Enzyme undergoes conformation
changes i.e. induced fit, postulated
by Daniel Koshland (1958)
Modes of Enzymatic Modes of Enzymatic Enhancement of RatesEnhancement of Rates
• Involve transient covalent interactions with a substrate or group transfer to or from a substrate
• General acid-base catalysis-good proton donors & acceptors positioned just right.
• covalent catalysis-unstable intermediate
• metal ion catalysis-electron donor or acceptor
•At low concentrations of [S] Vo increases almost linearly
•At higher [S] concentration Vo increases by smaller amounts in response to increase in [S]
•Finally increase in Vo is negligible as [S] increases
Enzyme kinetics
Steady state kineticsSteady state kinetics
• rate stops increasing or plateaus because the complex ES becomes filled at high [S]
• Pre-steady state and steady state
Introduced by Briggs and Haldane
Michaelis-Menten ModelMichaelis-Menten Model
• Rate equation
Lineweaver-Burk equation
Double reciprocal plot
Interpreting Vmax and Km
Steady state kinetics is the means by which biochemists can compare and characterize The catalytic efficiencies of enzymes.
Kcat it is the limiting rate of any enzyme catalyzed reaction. Eg.,
Kcat is first order rate constant has units s-1. It is also called Turnover number (the number of substrate molecules converted to product).
Specificity constant compares the catalytic efficiencies of different enzymes or the turnover of different substrates by the same enzyme.
Vo = kcat / Km [Et][S]
-V0 depends upon [Et] and [S]-kcat/Km is a second order rate constant-units M-1s-1

Regulatory enzymes
Exhibit increased or decreased catalytic activityin response to certain signals.
-Reversible non-covalent modulation-allosteric modulators
-small metabolites or cofactors
-Reversible covalent modification
-inhibition with separate regulatory protein
-proteolytic cleavage
Allosteric enzymes
-Homotropic-Heterotropic
Heterotropic Allosteric Modulation
In multienzyme pathways the regulatory enzyme is inhibited by the end product.
Eg., L-Threonine to L-Isoleucine in bacteria.
Kinetics of Allosteric enzymes
-sigmoid curve is observed
-substrate concentration is represented by [S]0.5 or K0.5
homotropic allosteric enzymes
-reflects cooperative interaction between protein molecules
-small changes in conc. of modulator can be associated with large changes in activity
Heterotropic Allosteric enzymes
-Activation may cause increased velocity for fixed K0.5
-Negative modulator cause decreased velocityfor fixed K0.5
-increased Vmax with little change in substrate

-phosphorylation occurs in structural motif calledconsensus sequence
-AA sequence is not the only factor which determines phosphorylation
Regulation by proteolytic cleavage
-zymogen an inactive precursoris cleaved to form the activeenzyme
-precursors are also called proproteineg., collagen, fibrin, and thrombin
Enzyme inhibitors
Interfere with catalysis, slowing or halting enzymaticreactions.
-Reversible Inhibition-competitive
Since it is reversible so increasing the concentration of substrateremove inhibition.
