Enzymes Mrs. Harlin Explain how enzymes act as catalysts for biological reactions.

Chemical Reactions and Enzymes

Explain how enzymes function as catalysts.

Aim: What are enzymes? I. Enzymes (Organic Catalysts) – proteins that change the rate of a chemical reaction (usually speeds it up). A. Characteristics.

You’re eating a carrot… 1. you begin to chew (manual breakdown) 2. you are salivating as you chew  Amylase in salvia  Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified.

Flow of energy through life  Life is built on biochemical reactions.

Enzymes. Info on Enzymes Enzymes are necessary for all biochemical reactions Enzymes are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction Enzymes break apart.

Enzyme Structure Enzymes are proteins, which are chains of amino acids Enzymes have a folded, 3D shape This shape determines an enzyme’s function ENZYME.

Action of Enzymes How Enzymes Work Section 2-4 Action of Enzymes How Enzymes Work

Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. Ex: Speeds up digestion, affect the storage and release of energy

How Enzymes Work 1. Act on a specific substrate, such as sucrose.

How Enzymes Work 2. Each substrate fits into an area called the active site. Lock-and-key mechanism The enzyme changes shape a little to fit with the substrate. The enzyme-substrate complex puts stress on the substrate.

How Enzymes Work 3. The products are released

How Enzymes Work 4. After the reaction, the enzyme released is in its original shape and can go on to carry out the same reaction again and again. In doing so, enzymes increase the speed at which chemical reactions occur without being altered themselves.
