Enzymes

-proteins that are catalysts of biochemical reactions


-typically has a globular shape


-complex 3-D structure

Human pancreatic amylase

Enzymes are biological catalyst

-Increase the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation


-Catalyze nearly all the chemical reactions taking place in the cells of the body


-Have unique three dimensional shapes that fit the shapes of reactants

.

Enzymes lower a reactions activation energy

.

First clear recognition was made by PAYEN and PERSOZ (around 1833)

DIASTASE An alcohol precipitate of malt extract contained in a thermolabile substance that converted starch into sugar

Basic concept

Basic concept

DUCLAUX(1898)


use of -ase



J.B.Sumner (1924-1930)


first to crystallize

Basic concept

-more than 2500 biochemically important enzyme catalyzed reactions


-characterized by specifically for substrates


Effectors

Modulates an enzymes activity



-Activators, inhibitors,both, or depending on conditions



SINGLE ENZYME


-small single unit to large multiple units

Basic concept

Catalase

- found in animal and plant cell


-needed to speed up the breakdown of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE


-breaks it down to OXYGEN and WATER


the word equation for this looks like this

Amylase


-Found in saliva and in the pancreas


-breaks down enzymes


-breaks STARCH down to MALTOSE

Word equation

Potato phosphorylase

-synthesis enzyme (builds up)


-builds GLUCOSE-1-PHOSPHATE molecules into STARCH


-the formation of starch is tested using iodine solution

Enzymes and Reactions

Catalytic efficiency

High efficiency,10^3 to 10^17 faster than the corresponding uncatalyzed reactions

Specificity

High specificity, interacting with one or a few specific substrates and catalyzing only one type of chemical reaction

Mild reaction conditions

37°C, physiological pH, ambient atmospheric pressure

Active site


(Part of catalysts)

Part of the enzyme where the reactants bind, where the biochemical reactions occurs

basic parts of CATALYST

Enzyme active site


-amino acid side chains interact,metal ions


-various types of polar, non-polar, ionic interactions

Active site

Lock and Key Model

Basic enzyme diagram

Parts of enzyme


-Small nonprotein molecules (subunits)

-cofactors (metal ions)


Manganese,zinc, magnesium


-prosthetic group


(Covalently bonded to the enzyme)

Parts of an enzymes

Holoenzyme

=apoenzyme+nonprotein part

Parts of an enzymes

Simple,conjugated

Cofactors

Enzymes -Cofactors

Metal ions present in trace amounts

Metal Ions as cofactors

Enzyme cofactors


Coenzyme -non protein organic, maybe a vitamin

Isoenzymes

Catalyze the same reaction in different tissues in the body

EXAMPLE


Lactate dehydrogenase

Converts lactate to pyruvate,(LDH) consists of five isoenzymes

Isoenzymes

Different forms of an enzyme that catalyze the same reaction in different tissues in the body


-they have slight variations in the amino acid sequences of the subunits of their quaternary structure

Classification of enzymes

-IUPAC


-EC


-four integer EC number and a name


-common name: usually the principal specific reactant +-ase


-Does not follow any rule


*pepsin


*rhodanese
