3
Chemical reactions of life Processes of life building molecules synthesis breaking down molecules digestion ++
4
What Are Enzymes? Helps speed up a chemical reaction 3
5
Enzymes catalyze (Speed up) Are specific for what they will catalyze (Speed up) ase End in –ase -Sucrase Sucrose -Lactase Lactose -Maltase Maltose 4
6
Substrates A molecule upon which an enzyme acts 5
7
How do enzymes Work? weakening bonds which lowers activation energy Enzymes work by weakening bonds which lowers activation energy 6
8
Activation Energy minimum energy that must be input to a chemical system 7
9
Enzymes 8 8 Free Energy Progress of the reaction Reactants Products Free energy of activation Without Enzyme With Enzyme
10
Enzyme-Substrate Complex Reactants enter into a reaction. Products are results after a chemical reaction 9 Enzyme Substrate Joins
11
Enzyme-Substrate Complex Reactants are the compounds that enter into a reaction. Products are produced through a chemical reaction 10 Enzyme result Products
12
Active Site A restricted region of an enzyme molecule which binds to the substrate. 11 Enzyme Substrate Active Site
13
A restricted region of an enzyme molecule which binds to the substrate. 12 Enzyme Substrate Active Site
14
What Affects Enzyme Activity? Temperature, PH balance, Inhibitors 13
15
Two examples of Enzyme Inhibitors a. Competitive inhibitors: a. Competitive inhibitors: a chemical that physically blocks the substrate by entering the active site 14 Enzyme Competitive inhibitor Substrate
16
Inhibitors 15 b.Noncompetitive inhibitors: Chemicals that attached to another part of the enzyme to change the active site Enzyme active site altered Noncompetitive Inhibitor Substrate
17
Denature 16
18
Denature 17 -A structural change in macromolecules caused by extreme conditions -Enzyme no longer is effective
