1. Which variables influence enzyme performance in general?
2. With these variables in mind, hypothesize: What are the optimal conditions for the performance of chymosin? (Hint: you might investigate the normal conditions under which substances like chymosin are active).
3. Briefly describe an investigation aimed at optimizing one variable in chymosin Performance.

Milk contains casein
• Casein- German, Kase= cheese
• Casein is an emulsifying protein
• It is also a storage protein
• Structurally similar to gluten (found in grains)

Cheese is made from curdled milk
• Rennet is added from the 4th stomach of a calf
• Rennet contains chymosin
• Chymosin is an enzyme which cuts casein

ENZYMES
• They are protein catalysts
• They speed up reactions inside cells
• They are incredibly specific
• They are incredibly efficient
• -ase = “enzyme”

Chymosin is a protease
• A protease is an enzyme which cuts proteins
• Specifically, it is an aspartate protease
• Has an aspartate residue at its active site
• HIV-Protease 1 is also an aspartate protease

Enzymes make it easier for reactions to happen

Reactions can be exergonic, yet slow- they require activation energy
![Page 9: Chymosin Lab. 1. Which variables influence enzyme performance in general? 2. With these variables in mind, hypothesize: What are the optimal conditions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d085503460f949d9ec5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lowering the activation energy makes enzyme-catalyzed reactions faster

The stages of enzyme catalysis
• Substrate(s) binding• Reaction of substrate to
form product(s)• Release of products• The enzyme is ready to
bind the next substrate• Enzymes are unchanged
by the reactions they catalyze

Enzyme Inhibition- Enzymes can be sped up or slowed down

Effects of Temperature and pH
• Each enzyme has an optimal temperature in which it can function
• Each enzyme has an optimal pH in which it can function
• Tertiary structure can be radically altered by changes in pH
