EnzymesEnzymes
What are enzymes?
Specialized proteins
What do they do?
They act as catalysts in chemical reactions in our bodies.

What’s a catalyst?What’s a catalyst?
A catalyst is a substance that brings about a reaction without being changed in the reaction.
Enzymes increase the rate of reaction in our body at least 1 million times

Basically, here’s what catalysts do:

The object enzymes work upon are called substrates.
Most enzymes are named according to what they work upon.
The way this is done is by changing the ending of the substrate to –ase.

Naming Enzymes!!!Naming Enzymes!!!
Let’s do some examples:
Substrate Enzyme
Sucrose Sucrase
Lipid Lipase
Protein Protease

How do enzymes work?How do enzymes work?
Enzyme activity relies completely on the shape of the protein (remember, enzymes are proteins…).
Each enzyme works on ONE (1) and only ONE (1) substrate

Enzymes working Enzymes working continued…continued…
Surface of each enzyme is a region called the active site.
The active site fits the shape of the substrate the enzyme works on.

How do enzymes and How do enzymes and substrates fit together?substrates fit together?
There are 2 main theories as to how this happens:
1) Lock-and-Key Model
2) Induced-Fit Model

Lock-and-Key ModelLock-and-Key Model
Enzyme have a rigid structure (like a key), that fits one specific substrate (the lock).

Induced-Fit ModelInduced-Fit Model
Enzyme is not rigid
It changes shape when it comes into contact with a substrate.
Based on recent studies, the induced-fit model is the accepted theory as to how enzymes function.
