  1. 3.6 & 7.6 Enzymes IB Biology

  2. 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

  3. Enzyme Structure • Active site - special region on surface of enzyme where the substrate binds • Other molecules bounce off

  4. Enzyme-Substrate Specificity • Enzymes only work with one specificsubstrate 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

  5. 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.

  6. Catalyzed chemical reaction • Substrate binds to enzyme • Substrate is converted into products while bound • Products are released • Enzyme is unchanged

  7. Animation • http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter2/animation__how_enzymes_work.html

  8. Activation Energy (Ea) • The energy required to start a reaction • Enzymes decrease the Ea so reactions happen faster

  9. Factors that effect enzyme activity • Can you think of them?

  10. Factors that effect enzyme activity • 1. Temperature • 2. pH • 3. [Enzyme] • 4. [Substrate] * Note: [ ] means concentration

  11. 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

  12. Effect of temperature

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. Effect of pH

  16. Effect of pH Different enzymes have different optimal pH based on their functions

  17. 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

  18. Effect of [Substrate] Rises less and less steeply but never reaches a maximum

  19. 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

  20. Metabolic Pathways • are chains and/or cycles of enzyme-catalysed reactions that create products your body needs. http://www.wisconline.com/objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=MBY2604

  21. 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

  22. 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

  23. Lactose-free products

  24. 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.

  25. Allosteric enzymes have allosteric sites that bind substances that may inhibit (inhibitors) or stimulate (activators) an enzyme’s activity. *see allosteric animation

  26. The production of the amino acid isoleucine is regulated by feedback inhibition. The end product, isoleucine, allosterically inhibits enzyme 1, theorine deaminase. *see feedback animation

  27. Protein Strength Lab’ Homework • Q 1-2 pg. 82 • Critical consideration pg. 78

  28. Design Lab • Design a lab that will investigate the effect of a certain factor on the rate of catalyse activity.
