Enzymes are ProteinsProteins
Act as CatalystCatalyst to accelerates a reaction
Not permanentlyNot permanently changed/destroyed in the process

The reactant on which the enzymeenzyme acts on is the substratesubstrate

C. Classification of EnzymesC. Classification of Enzymes
1) named and classified according to thesubstrate acted upon and the reactioncatalyzed.2) trivial names-- end in -ase -- urease,hexokinase.3) named based on a formal systemiccatalog (IUB) with six major classifications.(All enzymes should fall into one of thesecategories and all enzymes therefore havea formal name.)
Class 1. OxidoreductasesOxidoreductases- catalyze redoxprocesses
Example: RCH2-OH RCH=O Class 2. TransferasesTransferases- transfer chemical groupsfrom one molecule to another or to another partof the same molecule. O OExample: CH3-C-SCoA + XR CH3-C-XR + HSCoA acetyl CoA acetyl group transferred
Class 3. HydrolasesHydrolases- cleave a bond using waterto produce two molecules from one.
O H2O O example: --CNH-R --C-OH + H2N-R cleavage of a peptide bond
Class 4. LyasesLyases- remove a group from or add agroup to double bonds.
H-X H X ---C=C--- ---C--C---
Class 5. IsomerasesIsomerases- interconvert isomericstructures by molecular rearrangements. CH3 CH3
HC-OH HO-CH COOH COOH
Class 6. LigasesLigases -- join two separate moleculesby the formation of a new chemical bond usuallywith energy supplied by the cleavage of an ATP.example: O ATP ADP+Pi O-OOC-C-CH3 + CO2 -OOC-C-CH2-COO-
pyruvate oxaloacetate enzyme = pyruvate carboxylase
The substrate of an enzyme are the reactants that are activated by the enzyme
Enzymes are specific to the substrates
A restricted regionrestricted region of an enzymeenzyme molecule which bindsbinds to the substratesubstrate.

EnzymeSubstrate
Active Site
Fit between the substrate and the active site of the enzyme is exact
Like a key fits into a lock very precisely The key is similar to the enzyme and the substrate
is similar to the lock. Temporary structure called the enzyme-substrate
complex formed Products have a different shape from the substrate Once formed, they are released from the active
site Leaving it free to become attached to another

Active Sitesubstrate
induced fit
Some enzymes can change their shape (conformation)
When a substrate combines with an enzyme, it induces a change in the enzyme’s shape
The active site is then moulded into a exact conformation
Making the chemical environment suitable for the reaction
This explains the enzymes that can react with a range of substrates of similar types
Hexokinase (a) without (b) with glucose substrate

1. 1. Extreme Temperature are the most Extreme Temperature are the most dangerousdangerous- high temps - high temps may denature (unfold) denature (unfold) the enzyme.enzyme.
- Optimum Temperature requiredOptimum Temperature required- - - For most enzymes the optimum
temperature is about 30°C- - Most enzymes however are fully
denatured at 70°C2.2. Optimum pH (most like 6 - 8 pH near Optimum pH (most like 6 - 8 pH near neutral)neutral)
- - Extreme pH levels will produce denaturation3.3. Ionic concentration (salt ions)Ionic concentration (salt ions)
An additional non-protein molecule that is needed by some enzymes to help the reaction
Tightly bound cofactors are called prosthetic groups
Cofactors that are bound and released easily are called coenzymes
