8.1 - METABOLISM
● Metabolism is the totality of an organism’s
chemical reactions
● Metabolism arises from interactions between
molecules within the cell

Forms of Energy
● Energy is the capacity to cause change
● Energy exists in various forms, some of which
can perform work
![Page 7: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
● Kinetic energy is energy associated with motion
-Heat (thermal energy) is kinetic energy
associated with random movement of atoms or
molecules
● Potential energy is energy that matter possesses
because of its location or structure
-Chemical energy is potential (stored) energy
available for release in a chemical reaction
● Energy can be converted from one form to
another

8.2 – Free Energy
● FREE ENERGY: the portion of a
system’s energy that is available to do
work
● Systems tend to change spontaneously
to a more stable state (so, ΔG < 0)

8.4 - Enzymes speed up metabolic
reactions by lowering energy barriers
● A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a
reaction without being consumed by the
reaction
● An enzyme is a catalytic protein
● Hydrolysis of SUCROSE by the enzyme
SUCRASE is an example of an enzyme-
catalyzed reaction

The Activation Energy Barrier
● Every chemical reaction between molecules
involves bond breaking and bond forming
● The initial energy needed to start a chemical
reaction is called the free energy of activation,
or activation energy (EA)
● Activation energy is often supplied in the form
of heat from the surroundings
![Page 19: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

How Enzymes Lower the EA
Barrier:
● Enzymes catalyze reactions
by lowering the EA barrier
● Enzymes do not affect the
change in free-energy (∆G);
instead, they hasten
reactions that would occur
eventually anyway

Substrate Specificity of Enzymes
● The reactant that an enzyme acts on is
called the enzyme’s SUBSTRATE
● The enzyme binds to its substrate,
forming an enzyme-substrate complex
● The ACTIVE SITE is the region on the
enzyme where the substrate binds
![Page 24: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

● ENZYMES are very selective for
which reaction they will catalyze
● ENZYMES are not changed or
“used up” by a reaction; can be used
over and over
![Page 26: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
● ACTIVE SITE = region of an enzyme
which binds to the substrate
– is usually a pocket or groove on
surface
– determines enzyme’s specificity
– compatible “fit” between shape of
enzyme’s active site and shape of
substrate (“Lock-and-Key” analogy)
![Page 27: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

● INDUCED FIT: a
change in the shape of
an enzyme’s active site,
which is induced by the
substrate
● Induced fit of a
substrate brings
chemical groups of
the active site into
positions that enhance
their ability to catalyze
the reaction

Catalysis in the Enzyme’s Active
Site:
● In an enzymatic reaction, the substrate binds to
the active site
● The active site can lower an EA barrier by
-Orienting substrates correctly
-Straining substrate bonds
-Providing a favorable microenvironment
-Covalently bonding to the substrate
![Page 31: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Enzyme-substrate
complex
Substrates
Enzyme
Products
Substrates enter active site; enzyme
changes shape so its active site
embraces the substrates (induced fit).
Substrates held in
active site by weak
interactions, such as
hydrogen bonds and
ionic bonds.
Active site (and R groups of
its amino acids) can lower EA
and speed up a reaction by
• acting as a template for
substrate orientation,
• stressing the substrates
and stabilizing the
transition state,
• providing a favorable
microenvironment,
• participating directly in the
catalytic reaction.
Substrates are
converted into
products.
Products are
released.
Active
site is
available
for two new
substrate
molecules.

Substrate Concentration:
-the higher the substrate concentration, the
faster the reaction
-if the substrate concentration is high
enough, the enzyme is saturated; in this
case, the reaction rate can be increased
by adding more enzyme
Enzyme Reaction Rate:
![Page 33: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity:
1) Temperature:
-as temp increases, reaction rate increases
-if temp gets too high, enzyme denatures and
loses shape and function
-optimal range for human enzymes: 35-40°C
![Page 34: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

2) pH:
-optimal range for most enzymes: pH 6-8
-some enzymes operate best at extremes of pH (e.g. digestive enzyme pepsin, found in the acidic environment of the stomach, works best at pH 2)

3) Cofactors: small non-
protein molecules
required for proper
enzyme function
-may bind to active site or
substrate
-some are inorganic (e.g.
Zn, Fe, Cu)
-some are organic and are
called coenzymes
(e.g. vitamins)
Coenzymes may assist the
functioning of enzymes.
They work with the
enzyme and may help to
position the substrate
molecules in ways that
facilitate the initiation of
reactions.
![Page 38: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4) Enzyme inhibitors:
-COMPETITIVE INHIBITORS: chemicals
that resemble an enzyme’s normal
substrate and compete with it for the
active site
block active site from substrate
(example: penicillin)
![Page 39: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

-NONCOMPETITIVE INHIBITORS:
enzyme inhibitors that do not
enter the active site, but bind to
another part of the enzyme
molecule
cause enzyme to change its
shape so active site cannot bind
substrate (less effective!)
may act as metabolic poisons
(e.g. DDT, some antibiotics)
![Page 41: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Noncompetitive inhibition
A substrate can
bind normally to the
active site of an
enzyme.
A competitive
inhibitor mimics the
substrate, competing
for the active site.
A noncompetitive
inhibitor binds to the
enzyme away from the
active site, altering the
conformation of the
enzyme so that its
active site no longer
functions.

8.5 - Regulation of enzyme activity
helps control metabolism
● Chemical chaos would result if a cell’s metabolic pathways were not tightly regulated
● To regulate metabolic pathways, the cell switches on or off the genes that encode specific enzymes
![Page 43: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Allosteric Regulation of Enzymes
● Allosteric regulation is the term used to
describe cases where a protein’s function at
one site is affected by binding of a
regulatory molecule at another site
● Allosteric regulation may either inhibit or
stimulate an enzyme’s activity
![Page 44: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Allosteric Activation and Inhibition
● Most allosterically regulated enzymes are
made from polypeptide subunits
● Each enzyme has active and inactive
forms
● The binding of an activator stabilizes the active form of the enzyme
● The binding of an inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme
![Page 45: NOTES: Ch 8 Metabolism and Enzymes - PPT_Ch 8...3) Cofactors: small non- protein molecules required for proper enzyme function-may bind to active site or substrate-some are inorganic](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040806/5e46b09d469054015c29b0e0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

● Cooperativity is a form of allosteric
regulation that can amplify enzyme
activity
● In cooperativity, binding by a
substrate to one active site stabilizes
favorable conformational changes at

Substrate
Binding of one substrate molecule to
active site of one subunit locks all
subunits in active conformation.
Cooperativity another type of allosteric activation

Feedback Inhibition
● In feedback inhibition, the end product of a
metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway
that produced it
● Feedback inhibition prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than is needed

Specific Localization of Enzymes
Within the Cell:
● Structures within the cell help bring order to
metabolic pathways
● Some enzymes reside in specific organelles,
such as: enzymes for cellular respiration
being located in mitochondria
Mitochondria,sites of cellular respiration
