Enzymes In your notebook. Enzymes: Difference: Catalyst: 4 things that change an enzyme: Enzyme modeL:
What is an enzyme? • Biological catalyst or assistants to carry out chemical reactions • Consist of Various types of proteins
Difference between other proteins and enzymes? • Enzymes speed reactions by lower activation energy while other “proteins” do not . • ENZYMES usually end in -ASE
Catalyst is an… • Assistant
Catalyst Reactants Substrate Chemical that are transformed to help the enzyme • Chemicals transformed without the help of an enzyme (no push)
4 things that change Enzymes • Temperature • pH • Substrate • Energy
Absence of Enzyme • PKU (Phenylketonuria) • Tay Sachs:(enzyme deficiency) lack of production of enzymes
Assignment • To make your own ENZYME MODEL
