    Introduction

    Enzymes are the chemical lubricants that make chemical reactions go nice

    and easy

    They help out with chemical reactions -but they dont get used up

    themselves ( sort of like the oil in your car hopefully )

    They are always proteins ! ( Remember proteins ? )

    Theyre found in cells throughout the body. When these cells get sick the

    enzymes in them tend to ooze out into the plasma

    Want to diagnose heart attacks, liver disease, muscle disease, pancreatitis,

    prostate cancer and bone disease? Enzymes can do that !

    They are different because we measure them not in terms of how many

    there are ( mg / dl , for example ) but in terms of their activity ( how well they

    are lubricating chemical reactions

    General Properties and Definitions

    Many chemical reactions cannot occur at 37 ( too cold ) Many chemical reactions require added heat energy

    Biochemical reactions also require this energy , but proteins will

    denature

    So how do biochemical reactions ever happen ? They cheat !!!

    Biochemical reactions can occur if there is a way to lower the

    amount of energy it takes to make the reaction happen.

    So how do biochemical reactions cheat ???

    Answer : They get a catalyst

    Catalysts are substances that lessen the amount of energy required forchemical reactions to occur

    Catalysts are not used up in the reaction

    Substrate Product

    Enzymes are protein catalysts

    Enzymes are required for the numerous metabolic processes of all cells

    When cells are damaged, enzymes leak out into the plasma

    The measurement of these enzymes are useful diagnostic tools

    Activation Energy for Chemical Reactions

    Catalysts decrease the amount of energy required to activate chemical

    reactions. Enzymes are protein catalysts.

    Cofactor

    A nonprotein substance required for normal enzyme activity Cofactors maintain enzyme 3D structure ( critical for enzyme

    function )

    There are 2 types of cofactors

    Activators ( Inorganic --- Magnesium , Calcium )

    Enzyme Structure and Substrate

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    14/70

    14

    Classification and nomenclature

    Enzyme kinetics

    Chemical reactions occur spontaneously if the energy for

    reactants is higher than products

    The amount of energy required to stimulate molecules to breaktheir chemical bonds and form new bonds is the activation

    energy

    Increasing the temperature can generate the activation energy.

    This a problem for living cells

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    15/70

    15

    Enzymes lower the activation energy for chemical reactions

    The enzymesubstrate complex has a lower activation energythan the substrate alone

    Enzymes are usually specific as to which chemical reactions they

    catalyze

    E + S ES E + P

    The enzyme is not consumed or depleted by the chemical reaction

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    16/70

    16

    Enzymes differ in their ability to react with different substrates

    There are various enzyme specificities

    Absolute : Catalyzes only 1 specific substrate

    Group : Catalyzes reactions of a particular chemical group

    Bond : Catalyzes reactions of particular chemical bonds

    Stereoisomerism : Catalyzes reactions of steroisomers

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    17/70

    17

    Factors that influence enzymatic factors

    First Order Kinetics

    Enzyme concentration exceeds substrate concentration

    As substrate concentration increases , the reaction rate

    increases

    The reaction rate is proportional to substrate concentration

    This is not a good place to measure enzyme activity

    ( The reaction rate is dependent on substrate , not enzyme )

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    18/70

    18

    Zero Order Kinetics

    Substrate concentration is in excess Substrate saturates enzyme

    All enzyme reacts with the excess substrate

    The chemical reaction rate goes to maximum velocity

    Reaction rate is dependent on enzyme activity ( conc . )

    Enzymes are not measured in terms of concentration , but

    activity

    Zero Order conditions are suited for enzyme measurementbecause this is where the reaction rate is dependent on the

    enzymes ability to catalyze a chemical reaction

    20/70

    20

    Enzyme concentration

    Enzymes are not measured in terms of concentration

    Enzymes are measured is terms of their activity

    Enzyme activity = The rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a

    chemical reaction

    Increased activity is proportional to increased concentration

    Activity is measured under Zero Order conditions because this is

    where the reaction rate is dependent on the work ( activity ) of the

    enzyme

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    21/70

    21

    MICHAELIS-MENTEN CONSTANT (Km)

    Numerical constant for each enzyme and substrate under definedconditions

    Expresses a relationship between the reaction rate and substrate

    concentration

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    22/70

    22

    pH ( acidity )

    Enzymes are proteins and subject to changes in 3D structure frompH changes

    pH must be carefully controlled in enzymatic reactions

    Temperature

    Reactions rates vary dramatically with temperature changes

    Reactions rates may double per 10 C increase in temperature

    Temperature must be defined and regulated for enzymatic reactions

    37 C is the common standardized temperature

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    23/70

    23

    Cofactors ( non-protein substances needed for enzymatic activity )

    Activators (Ca+2

    , Fe+2

    , Mg+2

    , Mn+2

    , Zn+2 )

    Coenzymes ( Vitamins and nucleotide phosphates )

    Increased coenzyme concentration increases reaction rate

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    24/70

    24

    Inhibitors ( Substances that decrease enzyme reaction rates )

    Competitive Inhibitors

    Substances that bind at the enzymes active site

    Competes with substrate for the active site

    Addition of additional substrate increases the reaction rate

    NonCompetitive Inhibitors

    Substances that bind at an enzymes non active site

    Enzymes 3D shape is altered, decreasing enzyme activity

    Addition of additional substrate has no effect on reaction rate

    Uncompetitive Inhibitors

    Substances that bind with enzymesubstrate complex

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    25/70

    25

    Effects of inhibitors on Km

    Competitive Inhibitors increase Km

    Non-competitive Inhibitors have no effect on Km( maximum velocity is not possible )

    Un-competitive Inhibitors decrease Km

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    26/70

    26

    Measuring enzyme activity

    Enzymes are not directly measured

    Enzymes are commonly measured in terms of their catalytic activity

    We dont measure the molecule

    We measure how much work it performs Its catalytic activity

    The rate at which it catalyzes the conversion of substrate to product

    The enzymatic activity is a reflection of its concentration

    Activity is proportional to concentration

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    27/70

    27

    Photometric measurement of activity

    E + S ES E + P

    Enzyme activity can be tested by measuring

    Increase of product

    Decrease of substrate

    Decrease of co-enzyme

    Increase of altered co-enzyme

    If substrate and co-enzyme are in excess concentration, the

    reaction rate is controlled by the enzyme activity.

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    28/70

    28

    Coupled enzyme reactions

    Some enzyme testing utilizes other enzymatic reactions in a

    sequence of reactions.

    These other accessory enzymes are not being measured.

    Auxillary enzymes are used as reagents and added in excess so they donot become rate limiting factors in the overall process.

    All enzymatic reactions in a coupled assay must be performed at zero

    order kinetics.

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    29/70

    29

    Example of a coupled assay

    S1 + E1 S1 E1 E1 + P1 ( RXN 1)

    P1 + E2 P1 E2 E2 + P2 ( RXN 2 )

    P2 + E3 P2 E3 E3 + P3 ( RXN 3)

    E1 = Enzyme we want to measure ( patient ) E2 = Auxiliary enzyme ( reagent )

    E3 = Indicator enzyme ( reagent )

    There are 3 reactions with 3 different enzymes

    P1 becomes the substrate for reaction rxn 2

    P2 becomes the substrate for reaction rxn 3

    We end up measuring reaction 3, but its reaction rate is

    determined by reaction rate of rxn 1

    Enzymatic reactions are measured in terms of the rate at whichsubstrate is converted into product. This can be done in 2 differentways.

    FixedTime Assay ( 2 Point )

    Zero Order Kinetics

    Substrate concentration is measured at set timed intervals todetermine enzyme activity

    A slight delay from the beginning of the reaction to maximumvelocity is the lag phase

    These times intervals may not be short enough to detect suddenchanges

    Extreme elevations in enzyme activity may deplete the substratebetween measured intervals - Substrate Depletion

    Substrate depletion causes falsely decreased activity results.

    32/70

    32

    Multipoint Continuous Monitoring ( Kinetic Assay )

    Continuous measurements of substrateproduct concentrationare recorded by the spectrophotometer of an automated

    analyzer

    Substrate depletion is detected because the analyzer is always

    looking and will see any sudden dramatic changes

    35

    Enzyme Activity can be measured as a function of the change of absorbance

    values over a period of time

    Remember that enzymes are measured in terms of activity

    How much work is getting done? How fast are chemical reactions taking place?

    A large change in absorbance per unit of time indicates that the reaction was

    occurring at a rapid rate, meaning that enzyme activity is high

  • 7/31/2019 Enzyme 7

    36/70

    36

    Calculation of enzyme activity

    Remember, its not concentration its activity

    Enzymes are measured in terms of how fast they convert substrate into

    product Activity is a measurement of how fast they work

    The common unit of enzyme activity is the International Unit ( IU )

    1 IU = That amount of enzyme that will convert 1micromole (1 mole ) of substrate to product per minuteunder defined conditions

    These conditions are such things as

    pH

    Temperature

    Example of Molar Absorptivity calculation

    NADH ( a common co-enzyme ) absorbs light at 340 NM

    NAD ( the reduced form ) does not absorb light at 340 nm

    Increased ( or decreased ) NADH concentration in a solution will

    cause the Absorbance ( A ) to change.

    A 0.05 X 10-3 Molar NADH solution placed in a 1 cm lightpath has an absorbance of 0.311

    Enzymes as reagents

    Enzymes are used as reagents in a wide variety of methodologies

    to measure other non-enzyme substances

    Enzymes help to produce substances that can be easily measured

    Enzyme specificity helps to eliminate interfering substances

    If the enzyme is used as a reagent, we do not want the enzyme

    concentration to be a affect the chemical reaction To avoid this the enzyme is added in excess so that it cannot

    become a rate limiting factor .

    Remember, we are just using the enzyme to measure something

    else

    CPK ( cont )

    Most normal plasma CPK is CK-MM

    Because of CKMBs association with cardiac tissue,

    increased CPKMB ( > 6% of the total CPK activity ) is a

    strong indication of AMI

    surgery, strenuous exercise, degenerative muscle diseases and physical

    trauma

    Myoglobin can also be elevated from decreased renal clearance

    Relatively low molecular weight , water solubility and high cellular

    cytoplasm concentrations cause myoglobin to be the first marker to be

    released from damaged cells

    Troponin I

    Contractile protein associated with cardiac and skeletal tissue

    Two forms Troponin I and Troponin T

    Troponin I from cardiac tissue has a unique antigenic structure that

    differentiates it from skeletal Troponin I and facilitates its measurement

    Of all the cardiac markers , Troponin I is the most specific for cardiac

    injury

    CK-MB

    Iso-enzyme found in cardiac and skeletal tissue

    Plasma CKMB concentrations are increased in AMI and various forms of

    skeletal muscle trauma Although not absolutely specific, very high concentrations in cardiac

    tissue make it a good marker for AMI

    B- Type Natremic Protein ( BNP )

    Increased plasma BNP is associated with Congestive Heart Failure ( CHF )

    CHF is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization in patients greater

    than 70 years old

    BNP assays are often ordered with AMI markers to differentiate between AMIs

    and CHF

    Cardiac enzymes

    In the good old days , AMIs were diagnosed with the cardiac

    enzymes

    The cardiac enzymes consisted of Total CPK, LDH and AST

    Although still useful, the more specific markers such as

    Troponin I, Myoglobin and CK-MB have largely replaced the

    cardiac enzymes

    TRIAGE CARDIAC PANEL FOR RAPID QUANTIFICATION OF

    CK-MB, MYOGLOBIN , TROPONIN I and BNP

    TRIAGE is a common commercial test package that quantitates the

    three most significant laboratory markers for AMI - CK-MB ,

    Troponin I and Myoglobin

    Procedure summary Lithium heparin whole blood is added to the cartridge system

    Plasma separates from RBCS after passing through a filter

    Plasma ( CK-MB , Troponin I and Myoglobin ) reacts with fluorescent

    tagged anti-CKMB, anti-Troponin and anti-Myoglobin monoclonal

    antibodies in the reaction chamber Concentration of the analyte is directly proportional to fluorescence that

    is measured on the Triage Meter

    Myoglobin 2 hrs 6 8 hrs 20 36 hrs

    Troponin I 4 8 hrs 12 16 hrs 6 10 days

    CK MB 4 8 hrs 12 24 hrs 72 hrs

    Although any single analyte may not be adequate to diagnose an AMI, the

    collective information from all three analytes can be very useful

    The interpretation of cardiac markers can be difficult because blood specimens

    are not always collected soon after patients suffer chest pains - delays of hours

    to days are common before patients seek medical attention

    The most common symptom of a heart attack is .

    Enzyme Top 10

    Enzymes are protein catalysts that lower activation energy of chemical reactions

    Enzymes are not consumed in the reactions they catalyze

    Enzymes are measured in terms of activity ( know the definition of an IU )

    Enzymes are measured at zero order kinetics

    CPK Cardiac and skeletal muscle

    ALK Bone and hepatic tissue

    GGT and ALP Hepatic tissue

    AMY and LIP Pancreas

    LDH Hepatic, Cardiac , RBCs ( lots of others ) AST Cardiac, Hepatic and skeletal

    CK-MB Cardiac ( good to diagnose AMI )
