AGENDA – 9/11/2015 Take out journal and pick up an exam study guide! Bell-Ringer: RERUN Enzyme Discussion and Notes Exam Study Guide Questions #1,2,4,5,7,8 Homework: –UNIT 1.1 Test: Wednesday, 9/16 –EXAM STUDY GUIDE!
3
Bell-Ringer: 9/11/15 RERUN – Toothpickase Lab Recall: Summarize what you did yesterday. Explain: Explain the purpose. Results: Describe the results and what they mean. Uncertainties: Describe what you are still unsure about. New: One new thing you learned.
4
Enzymes: “Helper” Protein molecules
5
Review Macromolecules Proteins Amino acids Carbohydrates Sugars –(monosaccharides, polysaccharides, glucose) Lipids Fatty acids and a glycerol molecule Nucleic Acids Nucleotides
6
Proteins Chains of amino acids Many proteins are enzymes Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions AA A
7
Chemical reactions of life Processes of life –building molecules synthesis –breaking down molecules digestion ++
8
Nothing works without enzymes! How important are enzymes? –all chemical reactions in living organisms require enzymes to work building molecules –synthesis enzymes breaking down molecules –digestive enzymes –enzymes speed up reactions “catalysts” ++ enzyme We can ’ t live without enzymes!
9
Enzymes as catalysts Catalyst - Speeds up chemical reactions in living organisms by decreasing the energy needed to start the reaction (activation energy) Energy Time Without a catalyst With a catalyst
10
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 enzyme substrateproduct active site
11
Basic Enzyme Diagram Active site The substrates have reacted and changed into the product Enzyme is unchanged
12
It’s shape that matters! Lock & Key model –shape of protein allows enzyme & substrate to fit –specific enzyme for each specific reaction
13
Lock and Key Model Active site of the enzyme Two substrates Enzyme
14
Lock and Key Model The active site is like a lock The substrates fit like a key in a lock Enzyme
15
Lock and Key Model The activation energy for these substrates to bind together has been lowered by the enzyme. Enzyme Chemical reaction!!!
16
In Biology when a word ends in –ase it is more than likely it’s an enzyme. Guess what polymers are broken down by these enzymes and what monomers are created? PolymerMonomer Protease ________ ___________ Sucrase ________ ___________ Lipase ________ ___________
17
Enzyme vocabulary Enzyme –helper protein molecule Substrate –molecule that binds to the active site and what enzymes work on Products –what the enzyme helps produce from the reaction Active site –part of enzyme that substrate molecule fits into
18
Enzymes are very complex structures whose shapes and functions can be affected by many factors
19
What factors affect enzyme function? pH Temperature
20
pH Effect on rates of enzyme activity –changes in pH changes protein shape~ Denatures –most human enzymes = pH 6-8 depends on where in body pepsin (stomach) = pH 3 trypsin (small intestines) = pH 8
21
7 pH reaction rate 20134568910 stomach pepsin intestines trypsin What’s happening here?! 11121314
22
37° Temperature temperature reaction rate What’s happening here?! human enzymes
23
Graphing enzyme activity Increasing activity Denaturation: enzyme is ruined Optimum Enzyme activity Temperature (C) 2030405060
24
Increasing activity Denaturation: enzyme is ruined Optimum Enzyme activity Temperature (C) 2030405060 The optimal temperature for this enzyme is __________
25
Order of amino acids Wrong order = wrong shape = can’t do its job! DNA chain of amino acids folded protein right shape! wrong shape!
26
For enzymes… What matters? SHAPE!
