Properties of enzymes Enzymes can not initiate reactions themesevels Enzymes are proteins Their name usually end with “ase” and they have a unque three-dimensional configuration Enzymes are synthesised under control DNA They can operate only within narrow range of temperature and pH
Enzymes work in a team The surface area of the substrate affects the speed at which a reaction takes place Enzymes reactions are reversibile Enzymes are very specific Enzymatic reactions are very fast
Regulation of enzyme activity Enzyme is coded for by a segment of DNA known as a gene The speed of enzyme-driven reactions is influenced by various physical and chemical factors Some ractions are performed by a serious of enzymes The activity can be decreased by some chemicals called inhibitors
Factors that affects enzyme Enzyme concentration Substrate concentration Temperature pH Water concentration Activators Inhibitors
Enzyme concentration
Door-substrate; Enzyme-key
Substrate concentration
Temperature
pH
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)
Metabolic reactions Hydrolysis Condensation (Dehydration) Oxidation-Reduction Transphosphorylation and Other Reactions
Hydrolysis usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water.
Condensation (Dehydration): join two moleculeswith loss of a small molecule
Phosphorylation: addition of a phosphate to a molecule. Glucose + ATP Glucose-P + ADP ADP + Pi ATP
ATP-has 3 phosphate and its charged ADP-has 2 phosphate and its uncharged Pi-inorganic phosphate ATP synthase-changes ADP and Pi into a charged ADP Phosphorylation-process of adding a phosphate SLP-in cytosol Oxidative-mitochondria Photo-thylakoid membrane chloroplast Chemosyntetic-chemical oxidation
Oxidation –reduction reactions -result in transfer one or more electrons from one reactant to another.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD + - is involved in redox reactions, carrying electrons from one reaction to another. The coenzyme is, therefore, found in two forms in cells: NAD + is an oxidizing agent – it accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced . NADH - can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons
Flavin adenine dinucleotide T he molecule consists of a riboflavin (vitamin B 2 ) bound to the phosphate group of an ADP molecule FAD is a redox cofactor involved in reactions in metabolism FAD accepts two electrons and two protons to become FADH2
Coenzyme A It is a derivate of vitamine B involved in transport of acetic acid formed by degradation of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates The combination of acetic acid and coenzyme Aforms the molecule acetyl coenzyme A or CoA
Other metabolic reactions Transamination - transfer of an amine group from one molecule to another
Transmethylation - methyl group is transferred from one compound to another.
Transpeptidation- A reaction involving the transfer of one or more amino acids from one peptide chain to another .
Transacetylation -transfer acetyl group of acetate or succinate from one molecule to another. Carboxylation and Decarboxylation- attachment of molecule CO2 to an organic molecule Detoxification - elimination of toxic material from the body.
