    This document provides an overview of enzymes including what they are, what they do, how they work, and factors that influence their activity. Key points include: 1) Enzymes are proteins that greatly increase the rate of chemical reactions by lowering their activation energy. 2) They work through a "lock and key" mechanism where the substrate binds specifically to the active site of the enzyme. 3) Enzyme activity is influenced by factors like temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, and substrate concentration. Extreme temperatures or pH can cause the enzyme to denature and lose function.

    Review of Biochemistry

    Organic vs. Inorganic


    Organic Compounds
    1. Proteins
    2. Carbohydrates
    3. Lipids
    4. Nucleic Acids
    WHAT DO ENZYMES
    DO?
    Enzymes greatly
    increase the rate at
    which reactions take
    place
    WOW!
    That reaction is really
    fast!
    Enzymes
    • Enzymes are proteins

    • Enzymes are very specific


    – One enzyme, One function!

    • The substance that an enzyme changes is


    called a substrate.
    SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO
    KNOW ABOUT ENZYMES:

    • Each chemical reaction requires a


    specific enzyme
    • Enzymes can be used over and
    over again - Recycle!!
    • Example: digestion of food
    Other Interesting Enzyme Facts:

    • They are made of protein

    • They work because they have a


    specific shape…works like a lock and
    key!
    Enzyme
    Reactions
    • Digestion- Breaking down
    molecules

    • Synthesis- Building up
    molecules
    How Enzymes Work

    • On the surface of the enzyme is a region called


    an active site.

    • The substrate will bond to the active site of the


    enzyme, then break into smaller “pieces”.

    • Works like a “lock and key”.


    AN ENZYME REACTION:
    WHEN DOES THE ACTUAL
    REACTION OCCUR?

    When the substrate


    binds to the
    enzyme…A.K.A.

    THE ENZYME-
    SUBSTRATE
    COMPLEX
    Naming
    Enzymes
    •Add -ase to the end
    of the substrate
    Substrate = maltose

    Enzyme = maltase
    More Examples:
    Factors
    Influencing
    Enzyme
    Action
    Factors Affecting Enzyme
    Action
    • 1) Amount and concentration of
    enzyme/substrate

    • 2) Extreme Temperature

    • 3) pH – Too acidic or basic


    Factors Affecting Enzyme Action
    Temperature
    Optimum Temperature

    pH

    Little A lot Tons


    Enzyme Concentration
    Oh No!
    I’m out
    numbered

    Now, We’re in
    trouble! There
    are more

    Substrate Concentration
    Denaturation- an enzyme shape is
    changed and can no longer do its
    job.
    Enzyme Haiku
    Enzymes do cool stuff
    They increase reaction rates
    Without them, we’d die
