Presentation transcript:

Organic molecules are the molecules in living things There are four types of organic (carbon-based) molecules: Carbohydrates Lipids (fats) Proteins Nucleic Acids

Protein Muscles are made of proteins Enzymes are proteins Made from amino acid chains Found in meat, beans, dairy

Proteins make up about 15% of your total body mass and are involved in nearly every function in your body Each protein in our body has a specific function.

Some Functions include… 1.) Transporting substances 2.) Helping to speed reactions along Enzymes 3.) Providing structural support 4.) Making hormones

Building Blocks/ Monomers of Protein Proteins are made from amino acids Which means proteins are polymers and their monomers are amino acids There are 20 possible amino acids Each amino acid has a different shape

Amino Acid Structure Five parts: Carbon – all other parts attach to this Hydrogen Carboxyl group Amine group Side chain (unique in each type of amino acid)

Tools have specific shapes that help them do their job Shape and Function Tools have specific shapes that help them do their job

Shape and Function Like a tool, a protein’s shape also determines its function Each amino acid is shaped differently Each protein has different amino acid sequence; therefore, a different shape The number and order in which the amino acids are joined define the protein’s primary structure

Amino acids are joined together by peptide Bonds.

Essential vs. Non-essential Amino Acids 12 amino acids (non-essential) are made by the body 8 essential amino acids are not made by the body –you must get them from food

Enzymes used to regulate the rate (speed) of chemical reactions Enzymes-control (catalyze) the rate (speed) at which chemical reactions occur. * each chemical reaction in an organism requires its own specific enzyme

Enzymes Protein molecules that facilitate reactions without being changed themselves Example: A stapler attaches paper together, but the stapler stays the same Example: a staple remover removes staples without being changed Digestive enzymes break down food ENZYMES are never changed by the reaction

all enzymes are proteins, but not all proteins are enzymes!!!

Energy of Reactions The minimum amount of energy needed for reactants to form products in a chemical reaction is the activation energy A catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction *It does not increase how much product is made and it does not get used up in the reaction ENZYMES ARE BIOLOGICAL CATALYSTS

Reactants are the starting substances Products are the substances formed during the reaction

Enzymes: Substrates and Active Sites The reactants that bind to the enzyme are called substrates A specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme is called the active site enzymes are named for the chemicals that they "go to work" on…….. 1.) enzyme names always end in -ASE ex. LIPASE, LACTASE, SUCRASE 2.) the first part is what their substrate is

Competitive inhibitor- a molecule that binds to an enzyme’s active site and blocks the substrate from binding it keeps the enzyme from acting on the substrate

Noncompetitive inhibitor- molecule that binds to the enzyme somewhere other than the active site and affects the structure of the enzyme the substrate can no longer bind to the active site because it does not fit

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE (affect) ENZYME ACTION 1. temperature: generally, as the temperature increases, so does the enzyme action, until a point, when the enzyme starts not to work well. the temperature at which enzymes are most effective is called the optimum temperature. If it gets too hot, the enzyme falls apart (called denaturation) then it no longer works (like when you get a very high fever)

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE (affect) ENZYME ACTION 2. pH (the ph scale) the measure of how acidic or basic something is the lower the pH, the more acidic, the higher the pH, the more basic the pH scale is measured from 0 to 14---7 is neutral Most enzymes work best at around 7 some enzymes work at other ranges All Enzymes have a pH range- the pH must be in that range in order for them to work

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE (affect) ENZYME ACTION 3.amounts of enzymes and substrates * adding more of either the enzyme or substrate will increase the rate of the reaction...until you reach a point where the enzyme cannot work any faster- then the activity level of enzyme action levels off.

Quiz What is the building block/monomer of protein? What kind of things in the body are made of protein? What determines the shape and function of the protein? What is the name of a protein that changes the rate of reactions? What is an essential amino acid?
