Function of Proteins - Summary
Proteins can be
• Hormones - e.g. Insulin
• Enzymes - e.g. Amylase
• Antibodies - to help the body’s immune system
• Receptors – allows cells to recognise specific substances
• Structural - e.g. Keratin
A quick summary
Proteins
Learning Intention:
• Identify the functions of a variety proteins.
Success Criteria:
• Research the functions of proteins and complete a scavenge hunt.
Starter Activity:
On a show me board, using no notes, write down the four functions of proteins.
Enzymes
Learning Intention:
Learn how enzymes work.
Success Criteria:
State that enzymes speed up chemical reactions.
State why enzymes are reusable.
Catalyst
• Substances which speed up the rate of a chemical reaction.
• Take part but not changed by reaction.
• Can be used again and again.
• Lower the activation energy.
Catalyst
• Lower the energy input required for chemical reactions to take place.
What is an enzyme?
• Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction, while remaining unchanged.
• An enzyme is a chemical made of protein.
• We find them in every living cell.
What does an enzyme do?
• You will now carry out an experiment to investigate what an enzyme does.
• The enzyme you are using is called Amylase.
Test Tube A:
5ml of Starch
2ml of Amylase
Test Tube B:
5ml of Starch
2ml of Water
Food tests recap.
• You may remember food tests from S2.
• Iodine solution turns from brown to blue/black if starch is present.
• Benedicts Solution turns from blue to orange/red if sugar (maltose) is present when heated.
Method 1. Collect two test tubes. Label them A and B. 2. Add 5ml starch to both test tubes. 3. Add 2ml amylase to test tube A and 2ml water
to test tube B. 4. Take a few drops of sample A and place onto a
dimple tile, test this with iodine solution and record the results.
5. Repeat this for sample B. 6. Take a few drops of sample A and place this
into a test tube containing Benedicts solution, this will need to be heated to obtain your result.
7. Repeat this for Sample B.
Results
• Copy and complete the table.

Conclusion
• The enzyme _________ has catalysed the breakdown of _______ into sugar (Maltose).

Enzymes Summary
• An enzyme is a biological catalyst made by all living cells.
• They speed up the rate of reaction.
• They are made of protein.
• Life could not exist without them.
• Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch to sugar.

How enzymes work
Learning Intention:
Learn what specific means.
Success Criteria:
State that enzymes are specific.
Enzymes
• Enzymes have an active site – this is where an enzyme reaction occurs.
• The shape of the active site of enzyme molecules is complementary to a specific substrate.
Enzymes
• Enzymes are specific
This means each enzyme only works on one substrate (e.g. Amylase can
only break down starch, nothing else)
Specificity
SUBSTRATE ENZYME PRODUCT(S)
Starch Amylase Maltose
Fats Lipase Fatty Acids &
Glycerol
Protein Pepsin Amino acids
Hydrogen peroxide Catalase Water + oxygen
Glucose-1-phosphate Phosphorylase Starch
Lock and Key Hypothesis
Each enzyme is specific and only works on one substrate- like a lock and key.
Enzyme Action
• Enzyme action results in product(s) being formed.
• This can be through a degradation reaction – when something is broken down into something smaller.
• This can be through a synthesis reaction – when things are built up together to make something bigger.
Enzymes
• You are going to carry out an investigation to find out if enzymes are specific.
• Think about how you might do this.
• Discuss your hypothesis with your lab partner
One Enzyme – One Reaction.
5ml Hydrogen peroxide + 5 drops of detergent +
2ml catalase
5ml Hydrogen peroxide + 5 drops of detergent +

Method
• 1. Collect two test tubes. Label them A and B.
• 2. Add 2ml hydrogen peroxide to each.
• 3. Add 2ml catalase to test tube A and 2ml amylase to test tube B.
• 4. Record the height of foam in each test tube.

Factors affecting enzyme activity
Learning Intention: Learn the effects that different conditions
have on enzymes Success Criteria: State two conditions that affect enzyme
activity. State what the term denatured means.
• Think about what might happen if the active site of an enzyme changed shape?
• What might make it change shape?
Factors that affect enzymes
• There are two factors that affect enzyme activity.
• These are pH and temperature.
• Each enzyme has its own set of optimum conditions. This means the conditions it works best at.
• If these are altered, it affects the rate at which an enzyme works
Factors affecting enzymes If the temperature and pH changes sufficiently beyond an enzyme’s optimum, the shape of the enzyme irreversibly changes.
normal denatured
heat
pH
This affects the shape of the active site and means that the enzyme will no longer work.
When this happens the enzyme is denatured.
Temperature
• All enzymes are made of protein, and proteins are denatured at high temperatures (above about 50°C).
• The rate of enzyme activity increases with temperature up to the optimum temperature.
• After that it decreases to zero as the enzyme is denatured.
Task
• Discuss as a class how you would carry out an investigation to see the affect of temperature on enzyme activity.
• You will then carry out this investigation.
pH
• pH also affects the rate of enzyme activity. Each enzyme has its own range of pH in which it will work.
Example Pepsin
(stomach)
Example Salivary Amylase
(mouth)
Example Catalase (liver)
Task
• Discuss as a class how you would carry out an investigation to see the affect of pH on enzyme activity
• You will then carry out this investigation
