Proteins Today Enzymes
2Enzymes
-most enzymes are polypeptides (important
exception - ribozymes!) -enzymatic activity
catalysis -catalysis (1) rate of
reaction increases (2) equilibrium
unchanged (3) catalyst (enzyme) not consumed

5Contrasts with Simple Chemical Catalysis
1. Catalytic power 106-1012
ex. acetylcholine esterase
2. Enzymes function under physiological
conditions T 40C, pH 7, p 1 atm
6Contrasts with Simple Chemical Catalysis
3. Specificity discrimination between various
substrates ex. amino-acyl tRNA
synthetases
4. Regulation modulation of activity up and
down, allosteric activation, product
inhibition

9Mechanisms of Enzymatic Catalysis
10Mechanisms of Enzymatic Catalysis
-favourable stabilization of TS dipole, charge,
hydrophobic interaction
-not favourable, however enthalpic contributions
help pay the price, also positioning of
relevant functionalities
-acid/base catalysis, stabilization of developing
charge -change in mechanism from uncatalyzed
(including covalent catalysis)
11Co-enzymes

18Factors Affecting Rates of Enzyme Catalyzed
Reactions
1. Rate affected by Enzyme Concentration
formation of ES rate limiting
measure rate of appearance of product dP/dt
or disappearance of substrate
19Factors Affecting Rates of Enzyme Catalyzed
Reactions
carry out reaction under saturating
concentrations of S ie SgtgtgtE rate is
independent of S, Rate k1E or Rate k2ES
20Factors Affecting Rates of Enzyme Catalyzed
Reactions
2. Temperature rate of most chemical
reactions doubles with 10C increase in T
for many enzymes, triples

3. pH pH rate profile indicates proton
transfer in reaction

5. Limited Proteolysis
many enzymes biosynthesized as inactive
precursors (zymogens) that are activated by
limited proteolysis to yield mature active
enzyme ex. Chymotripsinogen, synthesizedin
pancreas, 245 aa

reversible inhibitors (a) Competitive
inhibitors resemble substrates, compete
for active
