A catalyst is a substance which speeds up chemical reactions without being changed by the reaction. When a catalyst is present, less energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. When a catalyst is present, the speed of a chemical reaction is faster. The catalyst remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.

Enzyme Substrate Complex
Enzymes help chemical reactions occur by providing a space called an active site for the substrates (reactants), to bind.

Induced Fit
Just as a key can only open a specific lock, each enzyme has its
- wn unique shape, so each enzyme is specific to certain substrates.
As the substrates enter the active site, the enzyme's shape changes just a little in order to create a better fit, called an induced fit.

Activation Energy
Enzymes work by decreasing the minimum amount of energy required for reaction. This is called the activation energy, Ea. Just as a ball cannot get over a hill if it does not roll up the hill with enough energy, a reaction cannot occur unless the molecules possess sufficient energy to get over the activation energy barrier.

Enzymes Have Optimal Environments
Since enzymes are proteins and proteins are sensitive to their environments, enzymes are also sensitive to their environments. Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Temperature pH
SLIDE 26
26
Effect of Temperature on Enzymes
In general, increasing the temperature of a system increases the reaction rate because the substrates are able to move faster and have more collisions with the active sites of the enzymes. This is true only up to certain temperatures for each type of enzyme! We call this temperature the
- ptimal temperature.
The optimal temperature is different for each type of enzyme.
SLIDE 27
27
Past the optimal temperature, the enzyme begins to denature or lose its shape, which changes the shape of the active site.
Effect of Temperature on Enzymes
SLIDE 28
28
Optimal Temperature and Fever
The optimal temperature for most bacterial enzymes is less than 98o F, so by raising body temperature above that, the immune system attempts to denature the bacteria's enzymes and stop the infection. Fever is the elevation of body temperature above normal (In humans 98.6o F). Typically, fevers develop in response to bacterial or viral infection.

Cofactors
Sometimes enzymes need a helper to bind at the active site to make the enzyme active. These helpers are called cofactors. If the cofactors are organic molecules, then they are called
- coenzymes. Vitamins are a type of coenzyme.

Enzyme Inhibitors
Certain chemicals work to stop or inhibit the enzymes. These chemicals are called enzyme inhibitors. Types of Inhibitors
· Competitive Inhibitors · Noncompetitive Inhibitors

SLIDE 42

Competitive inhibitors are similar in shape to the substrates. They are able to block the substrates from binding to the active site by binding to the active site themselves.
Competitive inhibitor
Competitive Inhibitors
SLIDE 43
43
Competitive Inhibitors: How They Are Stopped
To stop competitive inhibition, the concentration of the substrates needs to be increased so that they outnumber the inhibitors. This way, the substrates are more likely to bind to the active site before an inhibitor does.
SLIDE 44
44
Noncompetitive Inhibitors: How they work
Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a separate part of the enzyme and cause the enzyme to change shape. When the enzyme changes shape, the substrate is no longer able to bind to the active site because the active site also changes shape. This type of inhibition is sometimes irreversible.

Allosteric Regulation, Feedback Inhibition
Return to Table of Contents
SLIDE 51
51
Allosteric Regulation
In most natural processes it is necessary to regulate enzyme
- activity. This regulation can either be to inhibit or to stimulate
activity. Allosteric regulation is a type of noncompetitive inhibition that is reversible.
SLIDE 52
52
Allosteric Activation and Inhibition
Enzymes that undergo allosteric regulation are usually made of multiple subunits or polypeptide chains. All of the subunits together form a complex that can be in an active or inactive position. Where the subunits connect, there is an allosteric site, or a site that allows an activator or inhibitor molecule to bind.
SLIDE 53
53
Allosteric Inhibitors
SLIDE 54
54
If an inhibitor binds to the enzyme, the subunits are stabilized in an inactive form. This means the enzymes changes shape and the active sites are not open for substrates to bind to. Allosteric Activators bind to the enzyme, stabilizing the subunits in an active form. This means the enzymes change shape and the active sites are available for substrates to bind to.
Allosteric Activators
SLIDE 55
55
Both activators and inhibitors can be present in the surrounding environment at the same time! However, only one can bind to the complex at a time.
Allosteric Regulation
SLIDE 56
56
Feedback Inhibition
In certain processes the products from one enzyme act as the substrates for a second enzyme and and the second enzyme's products are a substrate for a third enzyme etc. When this happens, the products from the last enzyme in the path can allosterically inhibit the first enzyme in the path until it is necessary for more of the products to be made again and then the inhibitor leaves. This is called feedback inhibition. Click here to see a video of Feedback Inhibition
