Enzyme Structure
BIOLOGICAL CATALYST that accelerates metabolic reactions
Enrymes are all tertiary globular proteins
Each engine has its unique sequence of amino acids

breakdown

the structures are held together with hydrogen bonds ionic bonds Sdisulphide bridges

They reduce the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to
take place

They are ANABOLIC Engines bring substrate molecules together


canalso be CATABOLIC weaker bonds in substratesbreak it down

All have a uniqueSspecificactive site
Usually specific to only one reaction
When a reaction involving an euryme areas a substrate is turned into a product
the active site of an enzyme is complementary to the substrate it catalyses


Examples ATP ase break downof ATP into ADP producing energy
Lactose breaks down lactose into glucose Sgalactose

ENZYME WORKING MODELS
Lock and key model
This is a hypothesis of how engines catalyse substrate reactions

It states that theactive site of engines are exactly complimentary te the shape of the substrate
When a substrate molecule collides with an engine whos active site shape is complimentary the substrat
will fit intothe active site
This willform an Enryme substrate Complex


The engine will catalyse the reaction S the products together with the enzyme forms Euryme
product compies


TfReactions may possibly be
revirsible




Induced fit Hypothesis

, Induced El Hypotheses
this is more recent model backed evidence and is
a upby widely accepted by everyone
it sneaks thatthe shapeofactive sites are notexactly complimentary but changeshape inthe presence of a
b become complimentary
specific substrate


when a substrate molecule couides with an anyone if its composition is specifically correct
the shape of the eurymes active site will change so the substrate fits into
it

The R groupspointing out ofthe active site form interactions with the
substrate molecule


An engine substrate complex is formed

when the product leaves the enzyme the active site reverts back to its
inactive state




FACTORS AFFECTING ENZYMES

Concentration
of Enryme
i
As the concentration
of the engine is increasedthevelocity of the reaction proportionately

increases

This is because it means that more substrates can be catalysed at once



concentration
of Substrate

The rate of enzymatic reaction increases as substrate concentration increases
until a limiting rate is reached after which further increase produces no
significant change in the rate of reaction

this is when an engine molecules are saturated with substrate the excess substrate
cannot react until the products leave the complex


Temperature
The nature
f to
of energies makes them extremely sensitive thermal charges


Each engine has a certain optimum temperature that differs depending on
the organism
In manuals the optimum temperature is usually between 37 400

Effect of PH
