3. Objective:
Classify enzymes according to the type of reaction catalyzed and the type
of specificity.
Give examples of the correlation between an enzyme`s common name and
its function.
Describe the effect that enzymes have on the activation energy of a
reaction.
Explain the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme-catalyzed
reaction.
Discuss the role of the active site and the importance of enzyme
specificity.
Describe the difference between the lock-and key model and the induced
fit model of enzyme-substrate complex formation.
4. Type of Protein
Acts as a biological
catalyst
Facilitates and
accelerates chemical
reactions within living
organisms
What is Enzyme?
5. SIX MAIN CATEGORIES OF ENZYMES
Oxidoreductases
Transferases
Hydrolases
Lyases
Isomerases
Ligases (synthetases)
12. LACTASE
Common Name: Lactase
Function:
Lactase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of
lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products.
The common name "lactase" clearly indicates its role
in lactose digestion.
15. ACTIVATION ENERGY
Minimum amount of energy that reactant
molecules must possess to undergo a chemical
reaction and transform into products.
16. ENZYME-SUBSTRATE COMPLEX
Binding to specific substrate molecules to
forming an enzyme-substrate complex.
Tailored to interact with particular
substrates.
Enzymes act as
biological
catalysts
17. EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE CONCENTRATION ON
ENZYME-CATALYZED REACTION
Substrate concentration and
Reaction rate are proportional.
enzyme's active sites become
saturated with substrate
molecules.
Further increases in substrate
concentration do not increase
the reaction rate
Initial Rate of Reaction:
Saturation Effect:
Reaction Saturation:
18. ROLE OF THE ACTIVE SITE AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF ENZYME SPECIFICITY.
19. SUBSTRATE BINDING
Provides a specific three-
dimensional environment.
Often likened to a lock and
key or induced fit model.
Only substrates with the
right shape and chemical
characteristics
20. CATALYSIS
Acceleration of Reactions
Energy Conservation
Specificity
Regulation
Reversible Reactions
Substrate Chanelling
Sensing and Signaling
Several Important Factors:
24. DIFFERENCE OF INDUCED FIT MODEL TO
LOCK AND KEY MODEL
INDUCED FIT
LOCK AND KEY
(The lock) and the substrate (the key)
have rigid, complementary shapes from
the outset.
Both the enzyme and the substrate are
flexible. Active site can change its shape
when the substrate binds to it.
Determined by the pre-existing
complementary shapes of the enzyme
and substrate.
Achieved through both the initial
complementarity of shapes and the
conformational changes induced by
substrate binding.
