ENZYMES
ENZYMES ARE PROTEINS
Polymers of amino acids
Heat-sensitive
Absorb light at 280 nm
ENZYMES ARE CATALYSTS
Reaction accelerators
Lower energy of activation of reactions
Stabilize the transition state
Not consumed in the reaction
There are two components to a chemical reaction: (1) its kinetic or rate component, and
its thermodynamics, or energy component. When we deal with enzymes, we are
concerned primarily with the rate component.
Do’s and Don’t’s for Enzymes
Do
1. Lowers energy of activation of forward and
reverse reactions
2. Speeds up the time required to reach equilibrium
or completion
3. Stabilizes the Transition State
4. Conducts a specific reaction with no side products
DON’T’S
1. Changes the DG of a Reaction
2. Changes the Equilibrium Position of a Reaction
3. Changes the Energy Yield (or requirement)
of a Reaction
STOP
ENZYME TALK
1. Enzyme: A protein or RNA molecule that has the property of a catalyst, sometimes
called a biocatalyst.
2. Substrate: The target of the enzyme’s action. The molecule that will undergo
chemical change as a result of the enzyme
3. Enzyme activity: A measure of the enzymes catalytic effectiveness as manifested by
the rate of the reaction catalyzed.
4. Cofactor: A component that works with the enzyme in effecting catalysis. Literally,
any chemical factors the assists the activity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
5. Coenzyme: Related to cofactor, but generally used to describe molecules that are
derived from B-vitamins.
6. Enzyme kinetics: A branch of enzymology that deals with mechanism as studied by
factors that affect the rate of enzyme reactions.
7. Active Site: That region on the enzyme surface or within a crevice where the
substrate binds and catalysis is performed.

ENZYME CLASSIFICATION
1. TRIVIAL
2. REACTION TYPE AND SUBSTRATE
3. SYSTEMATIC NOMENCLATURE
TRIVIAL (Oldest)
Digestive Fluids, Bacteria, Plants
Trypsin
Chymotrypsin
Pepsin
Cathepsin
Lysozyme
Papain

Appearance
Old Yellow Enzyme - Otto Warburg
Kuhn’s “enzyme” meaning “in yeast”
SUBSTRATE - REACTION TYPE
1. Enzymes given “ase” suffix
2. Substrate first, then reaction type
