Review: Reactions
Enzymes
Specific,
catalytic proteins – speed
up reactions without being
consumed
Enzymes
How They Work
Substrate = key, enzyme = lock,
active site = keyhole
Substrate enters active site, enzyme
binds forms enzyme-substrate
complex
How They Work
The active site lowers
the activation energy
by:
Orienting substrates
correctly
Straining substrate
bonds
Providing a favorable
microenvironment
The Catalytic Cycle
1. Induced-Fit 2. Held by hydrogen
Complex bonds
3. Active site
lowers activation
energy
6. Active
site reset
5. Products
released 4. Substrates
converted to products
Denaturation
Proteins unravel and loses its shape

Can You & Your
Partner…
Explain how do temperature
and pH affect enzyme
activity?
Explain why adding substrates
continuously slows
down/steadies the rate of
reaction?
Distinguish between allosteric
regulation and competitive
inhibitors?
Think of at least one question
to answer during Q&A?
