+How are macromolecules brought into the body converted into molecules that make up the body?
The body’s metabolism consists of a large number of biochemical pathways that consist of sequences of chemical reactions.
convert substrate molecules into specific products needed by the body.

+Enzyme Characteristics
Speed up chemical reactions!
Almost all cellular reactions need enzymes to occur at significant rates.
Without enzymes, chemical reactions would still occur, but they would happen much to slowly to sustain life.

+What is activation energy?
a) The thermal energy associated with random movements of molecules
b) The energy released through the active breaking of chemical bonds
c) The difference in free energy between reactants and products
d) The energy required to initiate a chemical reaction
![Page 22: + SBI4U BIOCHEMISTRY Ms. Manning Enzymes. 1. What are enzymes and what is their role in normal cellular function? 2. What are the chemical structures](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e415503460f94b33fc5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
+Explain the role of activation energy in a reaction. How does an enzyme affect activation energy? Activation energy the amount of energy
needed to trigger the reaction.
Without reaching the activation energy, reactions can't take place.
Enzymes catalyze this process by lowering the amount of energy required to activate the reaction.

+Covalent Modulation
Enzymes can be activated or inactivated by covalent modification.
A common example is phosphorylation of an enzyme (addition of a phosphate group to the amino acids serine, threonine, or tyrosine) mediated by another enzyme called a kinase .
The phosphorylation is reversible, and other enzymes called phosphatases typically catalyze the removal of the phosphate group from the enzyme.

Q#2 – Distinguish between competitive and non-competitive inhibition
Competitive
inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme and prevents reaction
Non-competitive
inhibitor does not compete for the active site,
binds to a different site,
either slows down or completely prevents reaction.

Check for Understanding
Q#2 – Explain how allosteric inhibitors differ from other non-competitive inhibitors:
While non-competitive inhibitors reduce enzyme activity and slow down the reaction rate, allosteric inhibitors block the active site altogether and prevent its functioning completely

+Irreversible Inhibitors
Also called poisons
For example: certain heavy metalsE.g., cadmium, lead, mercury

Cyanide is a poison that prevents the activity of cytochrome C oxidase, an enzyme in the electron transport chain in the cell. It therefore inhibits ATP production and cellular respiration.

+Control of Metabolism Biochemical reactions are controlled in part by the specificity of
substrate biding, but the human body could not function if all enzymes were present together and all operating maximally with no regulation.
There would be biochemical chaos with substances being synthesized and degraded at the same time.
Instead, the body tightly regulates enzymes through metabolic pathways and by controlling specific enzymes within a pathway.
This approach allows an entire pathway to be turned on or off by simply regulating one or a few enzymes.
Metabolic pathways can also be regulated by switching specific genes on or off.

Enzymes play a critical role in everyday life. Many heritable genetic disorders occur because there is a deficiency or total absence of one or more enzymes.
Other disease conditions (e.g., cancer) result because there is an excessive activity of one or more enzymes.
Routine medical tests monitor the activity of enzymes in the blood, and many of the prescription drugs (e.g., penicillin,) exert their effects through interactions with enzymes.
Enzymes and their inhibitors can be important tools in medicine, agriculture, and food science.
Why is it important to know how enzymes are regulated?
