1
Enzymes Optimum Substrate Product Temperature Specific pH Unchanged
Protein ACTIVITY: How many sentences about enzymes can you make using these words? Catalyst Active site
2
Metabolic reactions Normally too slow to sustain life.
Chemical reactions in a living cell PRODUCT(S) SUBSTRATE(S) reaction Normally too slow to sustain life. Catalysts speed up reactions
3
Metabolism Catabolic reactions break down molecules eg digestion
Anabolic reactions build up molecules eg photosynthesis
4
Enzymes are unchanged by reaction
Enzymes are proteins which act as biological catalysts – they speed up biological reactions which otherwise would be too slow to sustain life Enzymes are unchanged by reaction Enzymes are usually Specific for a substrate or group of substrates (the chemicals they act on) Summary
5
Enzyme-substrate complex
Enzyme brings reactive parts of substrates together for reaction to occur ENZYME PRODUCT
6
Enzyme-substrate complex
Enzyme brings reactive parts of substrate together for reaction to occur Enzyme-substrate complex Summary ENZYME PRODUCT
7
Lock and Key model SUBSTRATE products enzyme Does not fully explain the functioning of all enzymes Enzyme-SUBSTRATE complex Enzyme will only bind substrates that fit exactly into the active site
8
Induced fit model Substrate causes shape change in active site
products (12 min) Enzyme-SUBSTRATE complex Substrate causes shape change in active site
9
Theories of enzyme action
COMPARE: In both models an enzyme-substrate complex is formed the activation energy is lowered enzyme remains unchanged afterwards substrate products CONTRAST: In lock and key model substrate must fit active site exactly in order to bind, whereas with the induced fit model the substrate can cause active site to change slightly to allow a fit. Summary
10
Denaturing proteins Summary
Certain conditions permanently break bonds that hold the enzyme’s 3D shape. Active site shape destroyed enzyme high temperature cannot function Summary
11
Activation Energy A B Reactions require energy to get them going
To get the ball to B, you need to give it enough energy to get over the top – even though B is lower than A B
12
Activation Energy Summary A B
Enzymes lower the activation energy required to start a reaction (1 min) A Summary B
