What Are Enzymes?• Most enzymes
are Proteins (Different shapes and sizes)
• Act as Catalyst to accelerates a reaction
• Not permanently changed in the process
4
Enzymes• Are specific
for what they will catalyze
• Are Reusable• End in –ase
-Sucrase-Lactase-Maltase
5
How do enzymes Work?Enzymes work by weakening bonds which lowers activation energy
Chemical Rxn’s will always EVENTUALLY happen…that do enzymes do?

Enzymes
FreeEnergy
Progress of the reaction
Reactants
Products
Free energy of activation
Without EnzymeWith Enzyme
• Chemical Rxn’s need energy to occur
• Catalyst lowers amt needed
7
Enzyme-Substrate ComplexThe substance
(reactant) an enzyme acts on is the substrate
EnzymeSubstrate Joins
8
Active Site• A restricted region of an enzyme
molecule which binds to the substrate.

Induced Fit• A change in the shape of an enzyme’s active site
• Induced by the substrate
10
Induced Fit• A change in the configuration of
an enzyme’s active site.• Induced by the substrate.

Enzymes are Exteremly pickyEnzyme’s are like students (very
picky)
They may not work in certain conditions

InhibitorsInhibitors:causes the enzyme to change its
shape, which in turn alters the active site.

• Mostly Proteins• Catalyze reactions lower activation
energy• Shape specific • No consumed in reactions
Are very specific… Pain in the tush molecules
• Temperature specific• pH specific
Also, They work better at different conditions.
What if you want to break milk down in you stomach faster, what could you do?
Homework• Go to http://www.radiolab.org/2012/apr/02/holey-cow/
– Or just google the following “Holey cow, RadioLab”
– Listen to the 15min radioshow on your computer or ipod.

Few notes:
Fistulaed cows
Digestive tracts is a tube
Questions to Answer!• 1) Give me feedback! What is your response to the radio show? Liked it?
Boring? Explain? I would like to know.
• 2) What did Beaumont first observe from the man who was shot? And why was this significant?
• 3) Beaumont unknowingly removed enzymes from St. Martin. What did he find?
• 4) How does this radio show connect to our class topic?
• 4) How would you feel if Alexis St. Martin was your brother, how would you feel about people examining them the way Beaumont did? Consider the fact that this helped global technology and science studies and possibly influenced how we learn today.
