1 Enzymes: 1. All enzymes are proteins
Enzymes are proteins that get stuff done. Some Enzymes break molecules apart. Hydrolysis Some Enzymes put molecules together. Dehydration Synthesis

2 Enzymes digest food into raw materials.
Enzymes build molecules your body needs using raw materials.

3 2. Enzymes are called catalysts
Enzymes speed reactions up. Enzymes reduce the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. Activation Energy: Energy needed to start a reaction.

4 Compound X increases the rate of the reaction below.                       
Compound X is most likely an enzyme a lipid molecule an indicator an ADP molecule

5 Which is the enzyme? Which is the substrate? What are the products? Deh. Synthesis or Hydrolysis?

6 3. Enzymes are reusable They are not changed by the reaction.
After an enzyme works on a substrate, it lets it go and moves onto the next one.

7 4. Enzymes are Specific The shape of the enzyme is complementary to the shape of its substrate.

8                                                            This enzyme would most likely affect reactions involving… molecule A, only molecule C, only molecules B and D molecules A and C

9 Enzymes are proteins The amino acid sequence of a protein determines what shape it will take. The shape of a protein decides what its function is.

10 Maltase breaks maltose, and ONLY maltose.
Substrate: The reactant that an enzyme works on. An enzyme has a very specific shape to match its substrate, like a lock and key. Maltase breaks maltose, and ONLY maltose. (Enzyme names usually end in –ase.)

11 Enzyme Names What breaks sucrose? What breaks fructose?
Sucrase What breaks fructose? Fructase What breaks lactose? Lactase What breaks protein? Protease

12 What’s the Substrate? Active site: The hole on the enzyme where the substrate fits.

13 Rigid Lock and Key Model

14 5. Enzyme function is very dependant on its shape.
Denaturing: When a protein’s shape is ruined by extreme temperatures, or pHs.

15 Identify A, B, and C.

16 Which structures represent products of digestion?
A and D B and C B and E D and E

17 Quiz Tuesday Building blocks of organic molecules
Dehydration Synthesis/Hydrolysis Enzymes How rate is affected by temp, pH, [enz], [sub] Understand pictures of enzymes, substrates How are enzymes named? Denaturation- Catalyst-

18 Enzymes are proteins An enzyme that works in your stomach probably works best at what temperature and pH?

19 Protein Shape is very sensitive to pH and Temperature
Each protein works best at one certain pH and one certain temperature. Too hot or too cold will slow down activity Too acidic or too basic will slow down activity.

20 Reaction Rate versus pH

21 Rate of Enzyme Reaction
Reactions can happen faster with: Proper temperature Proper pH

22 The optimum temperature for the action of this enzyme is approximately

23 Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?
B C D

24 Which two enzymes would function in a region of the human body having a neutral pH?
A and B B and C C and D B and D

25 More substrate added, or More enzyme added
But the reaction rate will level off. WHY?

26 If you add more enzymes to this situation, productivity will increase until….
the enzymes have nothing to work on. Enzyme Substrate

27 If we add more substrate, productivity will only increase until…
all enzymes are working as fast as they can. Enzyme Substrate

28 Will adding substrate help?
YES

29 Will adding substrate help?
YES

30 Will adding substrate help?
NO

31 Rate will level off.

32

33 Why are enzymes considered to be catalysts?
They speed up reactions By lowering activation energy.
