What Are Enzymes?What Are Enzymes?• Most enzymes
are Proteins Proteins
• Act as CatalystCatalyst to speed up a reaction
• Not permanentlyNot permanently changed in the process
3
EnzymesEnzymes•Are specific
for what they will catalyzecatalyze
•Are ReusableReusable•End in –asease
-Sucrase-Sucrase-Lactase-Lactase-Maltase-Maltase

How do enzymes Work?How do enzymes Work?
Enzymes work by weakening weakening bondsbonds which which lowers lowers activation activation energyenergy

(reactant) an enzymeenzyme acts on is the substratesubstrate

Induced FitInduced Fit•A change in the shapeshape of an enzyme’s active site
• Induced Induced by the substrate

Induced FitInduced Fit
• A changechange in the configurationconfiguration of an enzymeenzyme’’s actives active site site (H+ and ionic bonds are involved).

What Affects Enzyme Activity?What Affects Enzyme Activity?
• Three factors:Three factors:
1.1. Environmental ConditionsEnvironmental Conditions
2.2. Cofactors and CoenzymesCofactors and Coenzymes
3.3. Enzyme InhibitorsEnzyme Inhibitors

1. Environmental Conditions1. Environmental Conditions
1. Extreme1. Extreme Temperature Temperature are the are the most dangerousmost dangerous
- - high tempshigh temps may denature denature (unfold) (unfold) the enzyme. enzyme.
2.2. pHpH (most like 6 - 8 pH near (most like 6 - 8 pH near neutral)neutral)
3.3. Ionic concentrationIonic concentration (salt ions) (salt ions)

• Inorganic substances Inorganic substances (zinc, iron)(zinc, iron) and vitaminsvitamins (respectively) are sometimes needed for proper enzymatic activityenzymatic activity.
• Example:Example:IronIron must be present in the red red

Two examples of Enzyme Two examples of Enzyme InhibitorsInhibitors
a. a. Competitive inhibitorsCompetitive inhibitors:: are chemicals that resembleresemble an enzymeenzyme’’s normal substrates normal substrate and competecompete with it for the active active sitesite.

InhibitorsInhibitors
b.b. Noncompetitive inhibitorsNoncompetitive inhibitors::Inhibitors that do not enter thedo not enter the
active siteactive site, but bind tobind to another another partpart of the enzymeenzyme causing the enzymeenzyme to change its shapechange its shape, which in turn alters the alters the active siteactive site.
