.
Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful by-product of many normal metabolic
processes. To prevent damage, it must be quickly converted into other, less
dangerous substances. Catalase is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze
the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive gaseous oxygen
and water molecules. Catalase works at an optimum temperature of 37 °C,
which is approximately the temperature of the human body.
1. What is the enzyme in this case?
2. What is the substrate and the end products?
3. Predict what would happen to enzyme activity and the reaction if you
change the temperature to over 100.
1.Definition of Enzymes
They are organic thermo-labile catalysts.
 Catalyst is a substance that:
increase the rate of chemical reaction.
without change or being consumed in the
reaction.
 Without enzyme the chemical reaction will
proceed with a very slow rate
Without
enzymes
With
enzyme
s
2.Chemical Nature of enzymes
All enzymes are protein in nature except ribozymes (RNA in
nature).
E + S E S EP E + P
Free enzyme recycled
3.Steps (mechanism) of enzymatic reaction
The substrate (S) binds to the enzyme (E) at its active catalytic site to form activated intermediate 9enzyme
substrate complex) (ES) then Enzyme Product complex that cleaved to the products (P) and the
original enzyme (E)
4. Substrate, Active site & Regulatory site
 Substrate:
- A reactant in a chemical reaction is called a substrate
 Active site
- Definition: The site on the enzyme where the substrate
or substrates attach
- Classified into:
a) Binding site: bind substrate
b) Catalytic site: perform catalytic action
 Regulatory (allosteric ) site
• A site on an enzyme, other than the active site,
• At which certain molecules (effector, regulator) bind
•  thereby affecting the enzyme's activity.
5. Models of enzyme substrate interaction at the active site
Lock and key model
(Rigid model )(1890)
Induced fit model
(Flexible model ) (1958)
The enzyme is rigid The enzyme is flexible
Only accepting a specific substrate that fits the
shape of its active site.
The shape of the active site can be modified by the
binding of the substrate
It doesn't explain the changes in the enzyme
activity in the presence of allosteric regulator
It explain the changes in the enzyme activity in the
presence of allosteric regulator
6. Enzyme specificity
Enzymes are highly specific in nature; it interact with one or few substrates and
catalyze only one type of chemical reaction.
Types pf enzyme specificity
Type Reaction Example
1. Absolute
specificity
Catalyze one type of reaction
For one substrate only
Urease
(hydrolyze urea only)
2. Group
specificity
Catalyze one type of reaction
For similar substrates
Hexokinase
(add P to hexoses)
3. Linkage
specificity
Catalyze one type of reaction
For specific type of bond
Chymotrypsin
(hydrolyze the peptide bonds)
In non-enzymatic reactions:
 There is an energy barrier between reactants
and end products.
So, to start a chemical reaction, a certain amount
of energy is needed to overcome this barrier.
This amount of energy is called activation
energy
Enzymes
Increase the rate of reaction by
Decreasing activation energy ( energy barrier
between reactants and end products
7. Enzyme action
 Enzyme:
• lower activation energy
• But it doesn’t affect the overall energy (∆G)
 Activation energy: it is the energy barrier
between reactants and end products
 Overall energy (∆G): change in energy between
substrate and product
8. Factors affecting the rate of enzyme action
1) Effect of enzyme concentration
 The rate of enzyme action is directly
proportional to the concentration of
enzyme.
 Provided that, there are sufficient
substrate & constant conditions.
 so, ↑ conc. of enzyme →↑ rate of enzyme
action)
2) Effect of substrate concentration
 ↑ substrate conc.--> ↑ Velocity (rate) till V max
(maximum velocity) is reached.
 At V max= enzyme is completely saturated with the
substrate any increase in substrate concentration
doesn't affect the reaction rate.
 After V max: any ↑ in subs.  no more ↑ in rate of the
reaction
 Michaelis constant (Km): It is the substrate conc. that
produces half maximum velocity of enzyme

Km
 ↑ Temp → ↑ Rate of reaction (due to collision )
until reach a maximum rate at a certain temp, called
optimum temperature.
 After that  rate ↓  till stop at high temp (due to
enzyme denaturation) at60-65 ºC ).
 The optimum temperature in human is 37-40 ºC

37 ºC
 Every enzyme optimal pH at which it
function the best.
 Changing pH  ↓ enzyme activity dt:
- Changing ionization of active site
- Denaturation ( at extreme pH change)
 Optimum pH of: Pepsin= 1.5-2
Pancreatic lipase = 7.5 - 8
Salivary amylase = 6.8
4) Effect of pH
5) Other factors affecting rate of enzyme reaction
1- Concentration of cofactors:
Increase cofactors (coenzyme / metal ions activator ) increase the reaction rate.
2-Presence of enzymes inhibitor
Enzyme inhibitor  decreases or stops the enzyme activity
3- Effect of end products:
Accumulation of end products inhibit enzyme action.
4- Effect of time: the rate of reaction is decreased by time due to
1. ↓ substrate concentration.
2. Accumulation of the end products.
3. Change in PH than optimum pH.
