  1. Summary Pictorial and Graphical Look at Enzymes

  2. Why are enzymes needed? • Speed up the rate of the hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis of the 4 biochemical organic molecules (carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that make us up and and what we take into our bodies

  3. WHAT IS ACTIVATION ENERGY? WHICH REACTION HAS HIGHER ACTIVATION ENERGY? WHICH REACTION HAS LOWER ACTIVATION ENERGY?

  4. Pictoral Analysis • Activation Energy= initial energy needed in a chemical reaction • Graph A • Higher (more) activation energy needed for a reaction that DOES NOT use an enzyme • Graph B • Lower (less) activation energy needed for a reaction that DOES use an enzyme

  5. How an enzymes works? Enzyme Action (Hydrolysis) Substrate- substance enzyme acts on (sucrose or any other macromolecule) Substrate fit into the enzyme like a lock and key or induced (wrap around) fit. Induced fit (more than one substrate may fit) Forms an enzyme substrate complex Substrate gets converted into product Products are released and the enzyme can be used again

  6. USE THE VOCABULARY TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS ENZYMATIC REACTION

  7. Enzymes in Action and can be reused again

  8. Graphical Look at Enzyme Action • Graph 1 • Activation energy is higher (LARGE ARROW) no enzyme used to speed up the chemical reaction • This type of graph is called an endergonic reaction graph • Endergonic= absorbs energy. Product is higher than reactant substrate Activation energy products Activation energy products substrate

  9. Graphical Look at Enzyme Action • Graph 2- Comparison • Graph B has a higher activation energy (no enzyme used)in comparison to Graph C (enzyme is used) • This is an exergonic reaction • Exergonic- energy is released • Which reaction will be first to reach completion?

  10. Enzymes Activity at Various pH • Each enzyme has the best (optimal) condition at which they function • What are the optimal pH values for the graphs on the left

  11. Enzyme Activity and Temperature • Different enzymes work best at speeding up biochemical reactions various temperatures • If enzymes are heated too high they can become denatured • Denatured= damaged, protein is non-functional

  12. Summary on Enzymes • Enzymes are protein molecules • Enzymes can be reused again • Enzymes help to speed up biochemical reactions in living things • Enzymes lower the activation energy therefore speeding up the biochemical reaction • Use the lock and key or induced fit model to carry out biochemical reaction • Enzymes are influenced by pH, temperature, amount of substrate and enzyme present
