1 Catalyst: Proteins and Enzymes
Use your notes on PROTEINS What are the monomers of a protein? Are proteins organic? Why or why not? 3. What is the function of enzymes? 4. What protein is involved in sickle cell anemia? 5. What happens to a patient’s blood cells if they have sickle cell anemia?

2 Catalyst: Proteins and Enzymes
Use your notes on PROTEINS What are the monomers of a protein? Amino acids Are proteins organic? Why or why not? Proteins are organic because they contain carbon. 3. What is the function of enzymes? Enzymes speed up chemical reactions. 4. What protein is involved in sickle cell anemia? Hemoglobin 5. What happens to a patient’s blood cells if they have sickle cell anemia?

3 Announcement You need to complete the winter break packet
Exam upon return

4 Special Proteins Enzymes are special proteins necessary for all living things

5 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 AMINO ACIDS

6 Why are Enzymes Important?
Enzymes speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions in your body by: Breaking molecules apart (ex: digestion) Bringing molecules together (ex: synthesis)

7 What is a chemical reaction?
WHEN ONE SUBSTANCE CHANGES INTO SOMETHING ELSE Reactions have two parts _________________________  __________________________ (STARTING MATERIALS) (ENDING MATERIALS) REACTANTS PRODUCTS

8 What is in your saliva that speeds up chemical reactions??
ENYZYMES Amylase is the name of the enzyme found in your saliva that speeds up the digestion of carbohydrates Disaccharide (sucrose) 2 monosaccharides of glucose

9 A few ENZYME examples: All of these names end in the letters “ASE”
Amylase: breaks down carbohydrates Lipase: breaks down fats Protease: breaks down proteins What do these names have in common?? All of these names end in the letters “ASE”

10 The question is… HOW do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?
ALL reactions require a certain amount of energy to get started. This energy is called ACTIVATION ENERGY

11 Take a look at what enzymes do to the activation energy
What is shown on the x and y axes? How are the two curves different? What does an enzyme do to activation energy? Why is this important to chemical reactions? Amount of Energy

12 Summary of Graph An enzyme speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy needed to “jumpstart” a reaction Amount of Energy

13 How Do Enzymes Function?
Why must enzymes LOWER activation energy? BECAUSE bodily reactions occur too slowly without them.

14 Let’s look more closely at how enzymes make reactions happen so quickly….

15 An enzyme BINDS to the substrate (reactant) at the ACTIVE SITE.
STEP 1: Substrate (Reactant) An enzyme BINDS to the substrate (reactant) at the ACTIVE SITE. Active Site Enzyme

16 The enzyme and substrate fit together like a KEY in a LOCK.
STEP 2: The enzyme and substrate fit together like a KEY in a LOCK. Substrate (Reactant) Enzyme

17 NEW PRODUCTS ARE FORMED A reaction occurs and the products are formed
STEP 3: NEW PRODUCTS ARE FORMED A reaction occurs and the products are formed

18 PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Substrate Products Active Site Enzyme

19 KEY TAKEAWAY Enzymes have a specific shape to fit a substrate and carry out a specific reaction

20 Enzyme Characteristics
Enzymes are specific: Only one type of substrate works! Enzymes are reusable: Enzymes are not changed by a reaction Enzymes can denature: Change shape because of changes in temperature or pH

21 Checks For Understanding
What type of macromolecule is an enzyme? What are the monomers of this macromolecule? What does an enzyme do? Enzymes speed up reactions in the body by (increasing/decreasing/not changing) activation energy. The molecule an enzyme bonds to at the active site:

25 pH Level What pH does pepsin work BEST at? Is this an acidic, basic, or neutral environment? What pH does trypsin work BEST at? Is this an acidic, basic, or neutral environment?

26 pH Level 3 -- acidic 6.5 – slightly acidic
