Enzymes
Learning Goals• Understand how enzymes do and how they
function
• Understand factors affecting enzyme activity
What is an Enzyme?•
Lock and Key Model• Enzymes are specific to their substrate(s)
Enzyme-Substrate Complex• Substrates bind to an active site
Forms an
• Active site undergoes a
to better accommodate the substrate
Why Enzymes?• Heat usually speeds up reactions.

2) Enzyme changes shape to
“embrace” substrate (Induced Fit)3) Substrates held in active
site by weak interactions:
- H-bonds
- Ionic bonds
4) Enzymes lower
activation energy &
speed up reactions by:
• acting as template for
substrate orientation
• Stressing substrate &
stabilizing transition
state
• Providing favorable
microenvironment
• Participating in
catalytic reaction
5) Substrates converted into products6) Products are
released
7) Active
