Enzymes

What Are Enzymes?• Most enzymes

are Proteins (tertiary and quaternary structures)

• Act as Catalyst to accelerates a reaction

• Not permanently changed in the process

6

Enzymes• Are specific

for what they will catalyze

• Are Reusable• End in –ase

-Sucrase-Lactase-Maltase

7

How do enzymes Work?Enzymes work by weakening bonds which lowers activation energy

Lock and Key Mechanism• A theory that describes how only the correctly shaped substrate fits into a particular enzyme.

13

Lock and Key Mechanism• The enzyme is the lock.• The substrate is the key.

What Affects Enzyme Activity? Extreme Temperature are the

most dangerous- high temps may denature (unfold) the enzyme.

Changes in pH (most like 6 - 8 pH near neutral)- Any variation from neutral may also denature the enzymes as well
