1 Enzymes: 47-51 odd “Helper” Protein molecules

2 Flow of energy through life
Life is built on chemical reactions

3 Chemical reactions of life
Processes of life building molecules synthesis breaking down molecules digestion + +

4 Nothing works without enzymes!
How important are enzymes? all chemical reactions in living organisms require enzymes to work enzymes speed up reactions “catalysts” We can’t live without enzymes!

5 Examples Food enzymes are found in raw foods. All food, whether animal or plant Digestive enzymes are secreted by the body to digest food Amylases (found in saliva, the pancreas, and intestinal juices) break down carbohydrates; Proteases (found in the stomach, pancreatic, and intestinal juices) help digest protein; Lipases (found in the stomach and pancreatic juices, and in food fats) aid in fat digestion. Metabolic enzymes run all the body organs and systems by performing various chemical reactions within the body cells. Without them, life would cease to exist. Catalase

6 Enzymes will either synthesis enzyme + Digestion (breakdown) enzyme +

7 Enzymes are proteins Each enzyme is the specific helper to a specific reaction each enzyme needs to be the right shape for the job enzymes are named for the reaction they help sucrase breaks down sucrose proteases breakdown proteins lipases breakdown lipids DNA polymerase builds DNA Oh, I get it! They end in -ase

8 Enzymes aren’t used up Enzymes are not changed by the reaction
used only temporarily re-used again for the same reaction with other molecules very little enzyme needed to help in many reactions substrate product active site enzyme

10 Enzyme vocabulary Enzyme Substrate Products Active site
helper protein molecule Substrate molecule that enzymes work on Products what the enzyme helps produce from the reaction Active site part of enzyme that substrate molecule fits into

11 What affects enzyme action
Correct protein structure correct order of amino acids why? enzyme has to be right shape Temperature pH (acids & bases)

12 Order of amino acids Wrong order = wrong shape = can’t do its job! DNA
folded protein chain of amino acids DNA right shape! folded protein chain of amino acids DNA wrong shape!

13 Temperature Effect on rates of enzyme activity Optimum temperature
greatest number of collisions between enzyme & substrate human enzymes 35°- 40°C (body temp = 37°C) Raise temperature (boiling) denature protein = unfold = lose shape Lower temperature T° molecules move slower fewer collisions between enzyme & substrate

14 Temperature human enzymes reaction rate temperature 37°
What’s happening here?! 37° reaction rate temperature

15 pH Effect on rates of enzyme activity
changes in pH changes protein shape most human enzymes = pH 6-8 depends on where in body pepsin (stomach) = pH 3 trypsin (small intestines) = pH 8

16 pH stomach pepsin intestines trypsin reaction rate pH 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
What’s happening here?! reaction rate 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 pH

17 For enzymes… What matters?
SHAPE!
