Turn in lab from yesterday into the bin Wake-up Which macromolecule(s) functions in short term energy and structure? Explain the difference between Benedict’s and Biuret’s. (More than color change) Turn in lab from yesterday into the bin

Enzymes Christopherson

Occurs when bonds are broken or formed to create a new substance Chemical Reaction Occurs when bonds are broken or formed to create a new substance Reactants Products

Enzymes Review Enzymes are proteins; made up of amino acids held together by peptide bonds

Regulates the chemical reactions of the cell Enzymes Review Regulates the chemical reactions of the cell

Enzyme Characteristics Biological Catalysts

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions What is a Catalyst? Catalysts speed up chemical reactions Ex: What do you do to help sugar dissolve faster in tea?

Enzymes and Reactions

Example of Enzymes as Catalysts Amylase: Enzyme in mouth that breaks down carbohydrates If you put a saltine cracker in your mouth and let it “sit”, it will eventually taste sweet

Enzymes Characteristics Have an active site; binding site for substrates

Enzyme Characteristics Enzymes are site specific; One enzyme = One job Determined by active site

How Enzymes Work Substrate; Reactant 3. Enzyme releases the product; Enzyme remains unchanged. 2. Enzyme-substrate complex forms; Enzyme molds around the substrate for a reaction 1. Substrate matched the active site of the enzyme Product Active Site Enzyme-Substrate Complex Enzyme; Catalyst

What does this have to do with ME????? Who cares about enzymes?

Lactose is a Disaccharide (2 sugars) found in milk

Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose

What does lactose get broken down into by lactase?

Fill in the following terms into the enzyme diagram below: Lactase Glucose Lactose Galactose

What’s happening in us?

What is Lactose Intolerance? Lactase is not present to break down the lactose. The sugar just builds up inside.

What’s happening in us?

Effects of Lactose Intolerance* Bloating, Pain/Cramps in Belly, Noise in Belly, Gas, Diarrhea

Lactose Intolerance Worldwide

Lactose Intolerance in Ethnic Groups

What to do if you are Lactose Intolerant?

Wake-up What is the purpose of the active site? What would happen if the active site lost its shape?

Environmental Effects on Enzymes Temperature* High Temperatures can denature enzymes Denature means lose shape (active site).

Environmental Effects on Enzymes Temperature Low Temperatures cause enzymes to move slowly Decreasing enzyme activity

Environmental Effects on Enzymes 2. pH Dramatic changes in the pH of a solution can denature an enzyme Decreasing enzyme activity
