3.6 & 7.6 Enzymes
IB Biology
Enzyme
Globular protein Made by cells of living organisms
– To help with reactions taking place in cells Catalyst - speed up chemical reactions
enzyme
substrate product
Enzyme Structure
Active site - special region on surface of enzyme where the substrate binds
Other molecules bounce off
Enzyme-Substrate Specificity
Enzymes only work with one specific substrate in one reaction
The shape and chemical properties of the active site and substrate must match
The “Lock and Key” Model
Enzyme is the lock and substrate is the key
Extends the lock and key model to account for the fact that substrates and active sites undergo conformational (shape) changes during binding. This can allow one enzyme to fit a number of substrates.
Catalyzed chemical reaction Substrate binds to enzyme Substrate is converted into products
while bound Products are released Enzyme is unchanged

Activation Energy (Ea)
The energy required to start a reaction Enzymes decrease the Ea so reactions
happen faster
Factors that effect enzyme activity
Can you think of them?
Factors that effect enzyme activity
1. Temperature 2. pH 3. [Enzyme] 4. [Substrate]
* Note: [ ] means concentration
Effect of temperature Increasing temperature increases the
kinetic energy of particles so they move in random motion faster
This increases the chance of collision of a substrate with the active site of the enzyme
Enzyme activity increases
Effect of temperature
Denaturation Increasing temperature causes bonds in
enzyme to vibrate more This increases the chance of bonds
breaking, changing the structure of the active site permanently
Can no longer function as a catalyst
Effect of pH
pH measures acidity or alkalinity– Acidity due to presence of H+ ions
Each enzyme has a pH where is works best (optimal pH)
When [H+] is too high or low, it alters the structure of the enzyme’s active site
Causes denaturation
Effect of pH
Effect of pH
Different enzymes have different optimal pH based on their functions
Effect of [Substrate]
Increasing the amount of substrate in a solution increase the frequency of collisions
Increases enzyme activity When too much substrate present, all
active sites are full and collisions are blocked
Increase in rate of reaction gets smaller
Effect of [Substrate]
Rises less and less steeply but never reaches a maximum
Effect of [Enzyme]
A higher concentration of enzymes means more active sites are present
More collisions occur, and therefore more reactions happen and rate is faster
If all substrate is used up, increasing [enzyme] will not have an effect
Metabolic Pathways are chains and/or cycles of enzyme-catalysed
reactions that create products your body needs.

Biotechnology and enzymes Lactase is an enzyme obtained from
yeast that grows in milk Biotech companies grow yeast, extract
the lactase, purify it and sell it to food manufacturing companies
lactase
Lactose glucose + galactose
Why the need for lactase?
Some people lactose intolerant– Flatulence, bloating, nausea
Glucose and galactose are sweeter than lactose - less sugar added
Lactose gives a gritty texture in ice cream, g&g are more soluble giving smoother ice cream
Faster production of cheese products since bacteria ferment g&g faster than lactose
Lactose-free products
A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site. A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site and changes the shape of the enzyme so it will no longer fit the substrate.
Allosteric enzymes have allosteric sites that bind substances that may inhibit (inhibitors) or stimulate (activators) an enzyme’s activity.
*see allosteric animation
The production of the amino acid isoleucine is regulated by feedback inhibition.
The end product, isoleucine, allosterically inhibits enzyme 1, theorine deaminase.
