Parts of a Chemical Reaction ReactantProduct LactoseGlucose + Galactose • Lactose is broken down because a chemical reaction occurs
Enzyme Basics • What is an enzyme? • Proteins that act as a catalyst • A catalyst is a chemical that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
Enzyme Parts Active Site Regulatory Site
Lactose Example LactoseGlucose + Galactose • Lactose is the reactant – also called the substrate • An enzyme (lactase) is used to break lactose into glucose and galactose (helps with hydrolysis)
Enzyme Rules – How it Works • Substrate binds to the active site • Induced Fit – active site conforms to the substrate • Reaction occurs • Product leaves the active site • The enzyme does NOT become part of the reactant (substrate) or product • The enzyme is never used up • The enzyme is substrate specific
Enzyme Denaturing • Denaturing occurs when something happens that causes an enzyme to lose its’ shape • When an enzyme loses its shape, the substrate can’t bind (changing shape of active site) • What could cause and enzyme to denature?
