1
Protein Structure Primary - sequence of amino acids Secondary – folding into pleated sheets or alpha helix Tertiary – 3-D structure, completely folded Most proteins stop here Quaternary – interaction of several protein molecules Hemoglobin
2
2-4 Chemical Reactions and Enzymes Enzymes biological catalysts Speed up reactions Without them reactions would occur too slow for life Lower the activation energy
3
Enzymes Enzymes provide a site where substrates can be brought together = Active Site (tertiary) The fit is like a lock and key
4
Enzyme Regulation Work best at a particular pH Digestion enzyme Affected by changes in temperature Denaturization Concentration
5
p. 51 Suggest an explanation for the change at 40 sec. in the control. How does the base affect the enzyme? How does the acid effect the enzyme?
