Enzymes

• Enzymes are large biological molecules that are responsible for the thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life.
• They are:– highly selective catalysts– greatly accelerating rate of metabolic reactions– greatly decrease the energy needed for a reaction– Mostly proteins, although some catalytic RNA
molecules have been identified.

Structure• Enzymes are a 3-D
structure that are highly complex.
• Their structure is very important because they are specific to their substrates.
• Enzyme origins:– Listen, will be important
when we get to genetics.

Lock and Key Model
• Enzyme, Substrate, Product

Energy savers• Like all catalysts, enzymes work by lowering the activation
energy– this dramatically increasing the rate of the reaction.
• Most enzyme reaction rates are millions of times faster than those of comparable un-catalyzed reactions.
• As with all catalysts, enzymes are not consumed by the reactions they catalyze
• However, enzymes do differ from most other catalysts in that they are highly specific for their substrates. – Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical
reactions.

Lowers activation energy

Enzyme activity can be affected by:
• Other molecules– Inhibitors– Activators• Many drugs and poisons are enzyme inhibitors
– Temperature– Pressure– Chemical environment (pH)– Concentration of substrate

Pressure
• How could pressure effect enzymes?– Under pressure, dun dun dun da di dun dum!

The experiment
• What’s the enzyme?
• What’s the substrate?
• What’s the product?
![Page 15: Enzymes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816562550346895dd7e687/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The experiment
• What’s the enzyme?– Catalase
• What’s the substrate?– H2O2
• What’s the product?– H20 + O2

The Experiment
• Basic Idea????
• How would you test pH’s affect on catalase?
• How would you test temperatures effect on catalase?
• How would you test for different amounts of substrate?

The Experiment
• Test for pH– Keep the concentration of yeast the same but
make a range of pH to test.• Test for temperature– Keep the concentration of yeast the same but
make a range of temperatures.• Substrate concentration– Change the concentration of the substrate.
