PPT-Enzymes What do enzymes do, and why do we need them?

Enzymes Back when we discussed proteins we learned that one critical function of protein was to speed up chemical reactions Enzymes are the proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions. Definition of an enzyme. Enzyme. is . protein . . catalyst. (i.e. . increase the rate of reactions. ). . NOT. changed during the reaction. ch. 12. The protein catalyst. Targets:. Describe the relationship between substrate and an active site in enzymatic reactions. Identify the role of coenzymes and enzymatic reactions. List factors that affect enzymatic activity. Essential idea: Enzymes control the metabolism of the cell.. Above is just a small part of the IUBMB-. Sigma-Nicholson Metabolic Pathways Chart . aims to show all the metabolic pathways found in eukaryote cells. The chart in it's entirety shows how complex the chemicals reactions needed to support life in a single cell unit. This was mentioned earlier in 2.1, but in addition to the complexity now add to that . Presented by Fotios Patsalis . Bio . 446/546 FALL 2016. M/F 13.00-15.50h,. Castetter. . Hall 37. Restriction Enzymes: Molecular Scissors. Restriction enzymes (. endonuleases. ) are specific endonucleases which . 6.4 Cloning & Biotechnology. Learning Objectives. Understand the methods used for immobilising enzymes.. Understand the advantages of using immobilised enzymes.. Enzymes as Catalysts. Enzymes are used to speed up chemical (metabolic) reactions e.g. respiration or photosynthesis- so why use enzymes in industry?. Are specific for . what they . catalyze . and do not permanently change during reactions. End in the word -. ase. Function of Enzymes. Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy (the amount of energy needed to start a reaction). . E S <=> ES <=> ES* <=> EP <=> E P. Michaelis-Menten Kinetics. E S <=> ES <=> ES* <=> EP <=> E P. Rate of Formation. Substrate. Product. Enzyme. Enzyme-. IMPORTANCE. OF ENZYMES. Enzymes are biological catalysts that:. . I. ncrease. . reaction rates . by lowering the amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur. 100-1000x . faster. !!!. Activation Energy. 1. What are enzymes?. Each enzyme has only one specific reaction it can perform. . 2. How many different reactions can a single enzyme perform?. Yes, the same enzyme molecule can be used over and over. protein. !. Enzymes are . Biological . catalysts . that . increase. . the rate of metabolic reactions.. Since enzymes speed up chemical reaction rates, what are they called?. Catalyst- . A substance . Enzyme & Substrate. An enzyme is a globular protein which acts as a biological catalyst by speeding up the rate of chemical reactions. . Enzymes are . NOT. changed or consumed by the reactions they catalyze and thus can be reused. . Sisters Enzyme . Video (5:47):. https://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgVFkRn8f10.

Observe the penny but don’t touch it. What happens?. Explain why. 2. Give the penny a . little . push. What happened?. Why did the penny move the second time and not the first time?.
