IntroductionThe proteins which serve as enzymes, Mother
Nature’s catalysts, are globular in nature. Because of their complex molecular structures, they often have exquisite specificity for their substrate molecule and can speed up a reaction by a factor of millions relative to an uncatalyzed reaction. This presentation will describe how enzymes function.

NomenclatureWith some historical exceptions, the name for
an enzyme ends in –ase.
The common name for a hydrolase is derived from the substrate. E. g.
Urea: -a + ase = urease
Lactose: -ose + ase = lactase
Other enzymes may be named for the reaction they catalyze. E. g.
Lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate decarboxylase
But: catalase, pepsin, chymotrypsin, tripsin

20.2 Enzymes and Activation Energy
An enzyme speeds a reaction by lowering the activation energy. It does this by changing the reaction pathway.

20.3 Substrate ConcentrationRates of uncatalyzed reactions increase as
the concentration increases. Rates of enzyme catalyzed reactions behave
as shown below. The first stage is the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex followed by slow conversion to product. Rate is limited by enzyme availability.
20-9
20.4 Enzyme-Substrate ComplexThe following reversible reactions represent
the steps in an enzyme catalyzed reaction.
The first step involves formation of an enzyme-substrate complex, E-S.
E-S* is the transition and E-P is the enzyme-product complex.
E+S E-SStep I
E-S*Step II
E-PE+PStep IV Step III
20-10
Enzyme-Substrate Complex, cont.The part of the enzyme combining with the
substrate is the active site. Active sites are:
Pockets or clefts in the surface of the enzyme. R groups at active site are called catalytic groups.
Shape of active site is complimentary to the shape of the substrate.
The enzyme attracts and holds the enzyme using weak noncovalent interactions.
Conformation of the active site determines the specificity of the enzyme.
20-11
Enzymes ModelsIn the lock-and-key model, the enzyme is
assumed to be the lock and the substrate the key. The two are made to fit exactly. This model fails to take into account the fact that proteins can and do change their conformations to accommodate a substrate molecule.
The induced-fit model of enzyme action assumes that the enzyme conformation changes to accommodate the substrate molecule.
20-13
20.5 Specificity of the E-S ComplexAbsolute: enzyme reacts with only one
substrate.
Group: enzyme catalyzes reaction involving molecules with the same functional group.
Linkage: enzyme catalyzes the formation or break up of only certain bonds.
Stereochemical: enzyme recognizes only one of two enantiomers.
20-14
20.6 Transition State and ProductAs the substrate interacts with the enzyme, its
shape changes and this new shape is less energetically stable. This transition state has features of both substrate and product and falls apart to yield product which dissociates from the enzyme.
1. The enzyme might put “stress” on a bond.2. The enzyme might bring two reactants into
close proximity and proper orientation.3. The enzyme might modify the pH of the
microenvironment, donating or accepting a H+.
20-15
20.7 Cofactors and CoenzymesPolypeptide portion of enzyme (apoenzyme)
and nonprotein prosthetic group (cofactor) make up the active enzyme (holoenzyme).
Cofactors may be metal ions, organic compounds, or organometallic compounds.
A coenzyme, an organic molecule temporarily bound to the enzyme, is required by some enzymes. Most coenzymes carry electrons or small groups.

20.8 Environmental EffectsAn enzyme has an
optimum temperature that is usually close to the temperature at which it normally works, ie.
37 oC for humans. Excessive heat can denature a protein.
20-22
Environmental Effects, cont.Enzymes work best
at the correct physiological pH. Extreme pH changes will denature the enzyme. Pepsin (stomach) and chymotrypsin (small intestine) have different optimum pHs.

20.9 Regulating Enzyme ActivitySome methods that organisms use to
regulate enzyme activity are:
1. Produce the enzyme only when the substrate is present.
2. Allosteric enzymes
3. Feedback inhibition
4. Zymogens
5. Protein modification
20-24
Allosteric EnzymesEffector molecules change the activity of an
enzyme by binding at a second site.
Some effectors speed up enzyme action (positive allosterism)
Some effectors slow enzyme action (negative allosterism)
E. g. The third reaction of glycolysis places a second phosphate on fructose-6-phosphate. ATP is a negative effector and AMP is a positive effector of the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
20-26
Regulation, cont.With feedback inhibition, a product in a series
of enzyme-catalyzed reactions serves as an inhibitor for a previous allosteric enzyme in the series.
A zymogen is a preenzyme. It is coinverted to its active form, usually by hydrolysis, at the active site in the cell. E. g. Pepsinogen is synthesized and transported to the stomach where it is converted to pepsin.
The most common form of protein modification is addition or removal of a phosphate group.
20-27
20.10 Inhibition of Enzyme ActivityIrreversible inhibitors bind tightly, sometimes
even covalently, to the enzyme and thereby prevent formation of the E-S complex.
Reversible competitive inhibitors often structurally resemble the substrate and bind at the normal active site
Reversible noncompetitive inhibitors usually bind at someplace other than the active site. Binding is weak and thus inhibition is reversible.
20-28
20.11 Proteolytic EnzymesProteolytic enzymes cleave the peptide bond
in proteins.They depend on a hydrophobic pocket.Chymotrypsin cleaves the peptide bond at the
carboxylic end of methionine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine.

Proteolytic Enzymes, cont.Chymostypsin: just seen
Trypsin cleaves on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids.
Elastase cleaves on the carboxyl side of glycine and alanine.
These enzymes have different pockets but the catalytic sites remain unchanged during evolution and the mechanism of proteolytic action is the same for all these serine proteases.
