1 SB1b. Explain how enzymes function as catalysts.

2 ENZYME FOLDABLE 2 3 1 4

3 Tab 1: Enzyme, Substrate and Active site
Enzyme – protein that catalyzes chemical reactions for organisms. Substrate – reactant in a chemical reaction upon which an enzyme acts. Active site – where the enzyme binds. Catalyze- speed up a reaction

4 Tab 2 – Induced Fit Induced Fit - An enzyme-substrate complex forms when the enzyme’s active site binds with the substrate like a key fitting a lock.  The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate. Enzymes are therefore very specific; they will only function correctly if the shape of the substrate matches the active site.

5 Tab 3: Factors that Affect Enzymes
Temperature pH Concentration Inhibitors

6 Tab 4: Examples of biological enzymes
Pepsin Lipase Amylase Ligase Helicase Many, many more

7 Center Fold Enzyme are NOT used up and are reuseable.
Enzymes are VERY specific they will ONLY work with the right substrate. Enzyme break chemical bonds. Enzymes lower activation energy- or energy needed to start a reaction.
