Enzymes AP Biology Mrs. Kiefer Chapter 6

Spontaneous chemical rxns will occur on their own, but that could take a very long time. A catalyst is a chemical agent that changes the rate of a reaction without being used up by the reaction.  An enzyme is a catalyst in a living system.  They are proteins. Enzymes regulate the chemical reactions in the metabolic pathways. Enzymes

Chemical reactions between molecules involve both bond breaking and bond forming. Even in an exergonic reaction (energy releasing), the reactants must absorb energy from their surroundings, the free energy of activation or activation energy (E A ), to break the bonds.

Activation energy is the amount of energy necessary to push the reactants over an energy barrier.  At the summit the molecules are at an unstable point, the transition state.  The difference between free energy of the products and the free energy of the reactants is the ΔG.

Enzyme speed reactions by lowering E A.  The transition state can then be reached even at moderate temperatures. Enzymes do not change ΔG.  It speeds up reactions that would occur eventually.  Enzymes are selective, so they actually determine which chemical processes will occur at any time.

A substrate is a reactant that binds to an enzyme. When a substrate or substrates binds to an enzyme, the enzyme encourages the change of the substrate (reactant) to the product.  For example: Sucrase is an enzyme that binds to sucrose and breaks the disaccharide into fructose and glucose. Substrates and Active Sites Substrate (reactant)Product Enzyme

The active site of an enzyme is typically a pocket or groove on the surface of the protein into which the substrate fits. The specificity of an enzyme is due to the fit between the active site and that of the substrate. As the substrate binds, the enzyme changes shape leading to a tighter induced fit, bringing chemical groups in position to catalyze the reaction.

In most cases substrates are held in the active site by weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds.  The different (R) groups of a few amino acids on the active site catalyze the conversion of substrate to product. Substrates and Active Sites

A single enzyme molecule can catalyze thousands or more reactions a second. Enzymes are unaffected by the reaction and are reusable. Most metabolic enzymes can catalyze a reaction in both the forward and reverse direction.  The actual direction depends on the relative concentrations of products and reactants.  Enzymes catalyze reactions in the direction of equilibrium. The Amazing Enzymes

Enzymes use a variety of mechanisms to lower activation energy and speed a reaction.  The active site places substrates in the correct orientation for the reaction.  As the active site binds the substrate, it may put stress on bonds that must be broken, making it easier to reach the transition state.  R groups at the active site may create a conducive microenvironment for a specific reaction.  Enzymes may even bind covalently to substrates in an intermediate step before returning to normal.

Enzymes have needs too! The temperature and pH of a cell can determine whether an enzyme will be active or not. Many enzymes require nonprotein helpers, cofactors, for catalytic activity. Organic cofactors, coenzymes, include vitamins or molecules derived from vitamins.

Can These Enzymes be Stopped? Binding by some molecules, inhibitors, prevent enzymes from catalyzing reactions. If the inhibitor binds to the same site as the substrate, then it blocks substrate binding via competitive inhibition.

If the inhibitor binds somewhere other than the active site, it blocks substrate binding via noncompetitive inhibition. Binding by the inhibitor causes the enzyme to change shape, rendering the active site unreceptive at worst or less effective at catalyzing the reaction. Reversible inhibition of enzymes is a natural part of the regulation of metabolism.

One of the common methods of metabolic control is feedback inhibition in which a metabolic pathway is turned off by its end product. The end product acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme in the pathway. When the product is abundant the pathway is turned off, when rare the pathway is active.

Allosterically Regulated Enzymes Most allosterically regulated enzymes are made of two or more subunits. Each subunit has its own active site and allosteric sites are often located where subunits join. The whole protein changes between two shapes, one active, one inactive.

Some allosteric regulators, activators, stabilize the conformation that has a functional active site. Other regulators, inhibitors, stabilize the conformation that lacks an active site.
