Molecular Accelerators
Enzymes are molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions and a large majority of these catalysts are proteins. Enzymes catalyze nearly all the myriad reactions that occur in living cells.
Enzymes are essential to life. In the absence of enzymes
biochemical reactions occur too slowly to maintain life. The typical biochemical reaction occurs more than a million times faster when catalyzed by an enzyme.

In biological cells enzymes lower the activation energy and enable reactions to occur rapidly. Here is the reaction-energy profile of sucrose with oxygen that is catalyzed (in a cell) and uncatalyzed (in a sugar bowl).

Chapter Outline
Molecular Accelerators
Each organism contains thousands of enzymes. Some are simple proteins consisting only of amino acid units. Others are conjugated and consist of a protein part, or apoenzyme, and a nonprotein part, or coenzyme.
Both parts are essential. A functioning enzyme that
consists of both the protein and nonprotein parts is called a holoenzyme.

Chapter Outline
Molecular Accelerators
For some enzymes an inorganic component such as a metal ion (e.g., Ca2+, Mg2+ or Zn2+) is required. This inorganic component is an activator.
From the standpoint of function, an activator is analogous
to a coenzyme, but inorganic components are not called coenzymes.

Chapter Outline
Another remarkable property of enzymes is their specificity. That means that a certain enzyme catalyzes the reaction of a specific type of substance. For example each of these similar reactions requires a specific enzyme.

The substance acted on by an enzyme is called the substrate. Enzymes are named by adding the suffix -ase to the root of the substrate name. Note the derivations of maltase, sucrase, and lactase from maltose, sucrose, and lactose.

An enzyme that converts the amino acid serine to phosphoserine would be called which of the following.
• Serinase • Serine decarboxylase • Serine dehydrogenase • Serine kinase • Serine phosphatase

Serine phosphatase The names of enzymes generally refer to the types of
reactions they catalyze and the substrates they act on. So, of the names listed, your best guess would be that the enzyme serine phosphatase catalyzes the reaction that converts serine to phosphoserine.

What can be deduced about the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme lysine decarboxylase?
• The enzyme adds a CO2 group to lysine • The enzyme removes a CO2 group from lysine • The enzyme oxidizes lysine • The enzyme reduces lysine • The enzyme hydrolyzes lysine
11
Chapter Outline
Your Turn!
The enzyme removes a CO2 group from lysine The name of the enzyme is lysine decarboxylate. The
“lysine” part of the name indicates that the enzyme acts on lysine. The prefix “de-“ in the name of an enzyme generally means that something is being removed during the chemical reaction. The “carbox” refers to carbon dioxide (CO2). So, a decarboxylase is an enzyme that removes carbon dioxide.

Molecular Accelerators
In the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB) System, enzymes are assigned to one of six classes based on the reactions they catalyze.
1. Oxidoreductases: Enzymes that catalyze the oxidation–
reduction reactions between two substrates. 2. Transferases: Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a
functional group between two substrates. 3. Hydrolases: Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of
esters, carbohydrates, and proteins (polypeptides). 13

4. Lyases: Enzymes that catalyze the removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis.
5. Isomerases: Enzymes that catalyze the interconversion
of stereoisomers and structural isomers. 6. Ligases: Enzymes that catalyze the linking of two
compounds by breaking a phosphate anhydride bond in adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Rates of Chemical Reactions
Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions and thus increase the rates of these chemical reactions.
Every chemical reaction starts with at least one reactant
and finishes with a minimum of one product. As the reaction proceeds, the reactant concentration
decreases and the product concentration increases . . .
17
Chapter Outline
Rates of Chemical Reactions
We can plot these changes as a function of time as shown for the hypothetical conversion of reactant A into product B.
18

Rates of Chemical Reactions
The reactant must pass through a high-energy transition state to be converted into a product. This transition state is an unstable structure with characteristics of both the reactant and the product.
The energy necessary to move a reactant to the transition
state is called the activation energy. The larger this energy barrier is the slower the reaction rate will be.
22

Chapter Outline
Enzyme Kinetics
Two German researchers, Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten measured enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates as a function of substrate (reactant) concentration.
They observed that most enzyme-catalyzed reactions
show an increasing rate with increasing substrate concentration, but only to a specific maximum velocity, Vmax.
29

Notice that the enzyme has limited enzyme capacity. The rate of catalysis doesn’t continue to increase with substrate concentration but reaches a maximum (Vmax).

Enzyme Kinetics
An enzyme’s catalytic speed is also matched to an organism’s metabolic needs.
This catalytic speed is commonly measured as a turnover
number which is the number of molecules an enzyme can convert, or “turn over,” in a given time span.
Turnover number is a convenient way to compare enzymes
to each other or to the effect of reaction conditions.

Industrial-Strength Enzymes
Not only are enzymes important in biology, they are increasingly important in industry. About 75% of industrial enzymes have a digestive or “breakdown” function.
They are hydrolases but are known by common names . . .
35
Chapter Outline
Industrial-Strength Enzymes
• Proteases (proteolytic enzymes) break down proteins and comprise about 40% of all industrial enzymes.
• Lipases digest lipids. • Cellulases, amylases, xylanases, lactases, and
pectinases break down cellulose, amylose, xylans, lactose, and pectin, respectively.
36
Chapter Outline
Industrial-Strength Enzymes
Enzymes have long been used in food processing. For example.
• Amylases and other carbohydrate hydrolases act to soften
the dough.
• About 25% of all industrial enzymes are used to convert cornstarch into syrups.
• The plant products used in animal feed are also commonly treated with industrial enzymes to make them more nutritious. 37

Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
Catalysis takes place on a small portion of the enzyme structure called the enzyme active site.
A space-filling model of the enzyme hexokinase is below.
The substrate glucose enters the site and binds. The enzyme changes its shape before the reaction takes place.
43
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
An enzyme must attract and bind the substrate. Once the substrate is bound, a chemical reaction is catalyzed. This two-step process is as follows.
• Enzyme (E) and substrate (S) combine to form an
enzyme–substrate intermediate (E–S).
• The intermediate decomposes to give the product (P) and the enzyme.
44
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
Each different enzyme has its own unique active site whose shape determines which substrates can bind. Enzymes are said to be stereospecific. Each enzyme catalyzes reactions for only a limited number of different reactant structures.
Enzyme-substrate interaction is explained by two
hypotheses. • The lock-and-key hypothesis • The induced-fit hypothesis
45
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
The lock-and-key hypothesis envisions the substrate as a key that fits into the appropriate active site (the lock).
The induced-fit model proposes that the active site adjusts
its structure before the reaction can take place. Both of these hypotheses are demonstrated by the figure on
the next slide . . .
46
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
47
The correct substrate fits the active site (lock-and-key hypothesis). This substrate also causes an enzyme conformation change that positions a catalytic group (*) to cleave the appropriate bond (induced-fit model).
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
Three additional ideas about enzyme-substrate interaction and catalysis are as follows.
• Proximity catalysis refers to an enzyme bringing the
reactants close together.
• The productive binding hypothesis explains how the enzyme works to make sure that the correct bonds are broken and formed during the reaction.
48
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Active Site
• The strain hypothesis explains how the enzyme forces the substrate to change shape which allows catalysis to occur as shown in this figure.
49
Chapter Outline Temperature and pH Effects on
Enzyme Catalysis Essentially any change that affects protein structure also
affects an enzyme’s catalytic function. Catalytic activity will be lost when an enzyme is denatured.
Strong acids and bases, organic solvents, mechanical
action, and high temperature decrease an enzyme-catalyzed rate of reaction. Even slight changes in the pH can have profound effects on enzyme catalysis.
50
Chapter Outline
Enzymes have optimal operating temperatures and pHs. These graphs show how enzyme catalysis is affected by changes in temperature and pH for enzymes that operate most effectively at physiological conditions.

If you plot the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction on the vertical axis and the temperature of the reaction on the horizontal axis you will almost always get a straight line.
• True • False
52
Chapter Outline
Your Turn!
False Enzymes generally act optimally within a
small temperature range. So, if you plot the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction on the vertical axis and the temperature of the reaction on the horizontal axis you will almost never get a straight line. The type of graph you would get is shown here.
53
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Regulation
Enzyme catalysis is carefully controlled in cells. Cells use a variety of mechanisms to change the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions to meet metabolic needs.
Sometimes a new group of atoms covalently bond to the
enzyme in a process called covalent modification. In other cases, another molecule is noncovalently bound to the enzyme to affect catalytic activity.
The protein structural change that results can cause a
decrease in enzyme activity, enzyme inhibition, or an increase in activity, enzyme activation. 54
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Regulation
The product binding to the enzyme and inhibiting catalysis is called product inhibition.
Feedback inhibition and feedforward activation are two
common forms of enzyme control. • Feedback inhibition affects enzymes at the beginning of
the reaction assembly line. In feedback inhibition the final product inhibits the enzyme.
55
Chapter Outline
Enzyme Regulation
• Feedforward activation controls enzymes at the end of the molecular assembly line. Here an excess of starting materials will “feedforward” and activate enzymes.
