1
They make things, they break things
2
What are some of the subjects that were covered in lecture this semester? Which of these topics involve enzymes? What are some of the enzymes that you discussed?
3
Some enzymes you’ve learned about: G3P dehydrogenase ATP synthase RNA polymerase (primase) Ligase DNA polymerase Kinase (aka phosphotransferase) Topoisomerase (a gyrase) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase And more…
4
Most enzymes are globular proteins Catalytic activity Not used up in a reaction What have you noticed about their names? Often have “-ase” suffix Often have function in name An RNase
5
Ribozymes? Some enzymes are made of RNA Example?
7
Enzymes lower the required Energy of Activation This allows for faster reactions This facilitates reactions that otherwise could not occur Some enzymes can make reactions go trillions of times faster Carbonic anhydrase (stomach) can catalyze over 1,000,000 reactions per second Temperature versus selectivity
8
Progress of the reaction Products Reactants ∆G < O Transition state Free energy EAEA DC BA D D C C B B A A
9
Progress of the reaction Products Reactants ∆G is unaffected by enzyme Course of reaction without enzyme Free energy E A without enzyme E A with enzyme is lower Course of reaction with enzyme
10
Lock and Key Older theory Stabilization of transition state? Enzyme flexibility? Induced Fit Preferred method of explanation
11
Substrate Active site Enzyme Enzyme-substrate complex (b)(a)
12
Enzyme Products are released. Products Substrates are converted to products. Active site can lower E A and speed up a reaction. Substrates held in active site by weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds. Substrates enter active site; enzyme changes shape such that its active site enfolds the substrates (induced fit). Active site is available for two new substrate molecules. Enzyme-substrate complex 5 3 2 1 6 4 Substrate
13
Enzymes often catalyze only a single reaction Enzymes are typically very specific
14
Both enantiomers protonated to make effective proton pump inhibitors Esomeprazole displays lower first-pass hepatic metabolism and slower plasma clearance
16
Enzymes can be inhibited by compounds Inhibitor often similar in structure to substrate Enzymes can be inhibited at active site or a different part of the molecule Allosteric inhibition Enzymes can be activated at allosteric sites
17
(a) Normal binding (c) Noncompetitive inhibition (b) Competitive inhibition Noncompetitive inhibitor Active site Competitive inhibitor Substrate Enzyme
19
NSAIDs Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Examples include: Ibuprofen, Rofecoxib, Acetylsalicylic acid Inhibit COX-2 enzyme (cyclooxygenase-II) COX-2 involved in synthesis of prostaglandins, which are involved in inflammation and pain
20
Non-protein chemical required for activity of protein Many vitamins are cofactors E.g., Iron, Manganese, Zinc Cofactor functions Assist with chemical reaction Mg 2+ and Taq Allow protein to fold E.g., zinc fingers
21
First (often) enzyme in a biosynthesis pathway is an allosteric enzyme Multiple binding sites Binding to effector changes conformation
22
Enzyme 1 Enzyme 2 Enzyme 3 Inter- mediate Inter- mediate Product Start of pathway Presence of product inhibits enzyme 1 X Also known as feed-back inhibition
25
Enzyme that oxidizes a substrate to form light luciferin + O 2 → oxyluciferin + light Utilized by multiple organisms Fishes, fungi, copepoda, shrimps, algæ, and more
26
Reporter genes Various assays Forensics
