Enzymes
 Definition and Explanations
 Mechanism of action
 Classification
 Properties of enzymes
 Factors affecting enzyme activity
 Enzyme kinetics
 Regulatory enzymes
 Allosteric enzymes
 Enzymes of clinical interest
3
What Are Enzymes?
 Most enzymes are
Proteins (tertiary
and quaternary
structures)
 Act as Catalyst to
accelerates a
reaction
 Not permanently
changed in the
process
4
Enzymes
 Are specific
for what they
will catalyze
 Are Reusable
 End in –ase
-Sucrase
-Lactase
-Maltase
Definitions
 Enzyme: is a biological catalyst, synthesized by living
cells, increases the velocity or rate of chemical reaction
and is not consumed during that reaction. It is
functional unit of cell metabolism. It is colloidal,
thermo labile and mostly protein in nature. Holoenzyme =
apoenzyme + coenzyme
 Coenzyme: is an organic cofactor which is thermo
stable, non-proteinous, low molecular weight, required
for the action of certain enzymes, it can be dialyzed out
and separated from the enzyme.
Many coenzymes are active forms of vitamin B-complexes
Thiamine : TPP , TTP Riboflavin : FMN , FAD
Niacin : NAD , NADP Pyridoxine: Pyr Phosphate
Pentothenic acid : CoASH Vitamin B12 : Cobamide
Folic Acid : FH4

Classification of Enzymes
I. Oxidoreductases
II. Transferases
III. Hydrolases
IV. Lyases
V. Isomerases
VI. Ligases
I.Oxidoreductases :catalyze oxidation-reduction
reactions
Further divided into four subgroups
 Oxidases
 Dehydrogenases
 Hydroperoxidases
 Oxygenases
1. Oxidases
 Oxygen is added and H atoms are removed from the substrate forming H2O
or H2O2
 xanthine oxidase
 A.A oxidase
2. Dehydrogenase
 They remove hydrogen from substrate, but are not
able to use oxygen as hydrogen acceptor
 Special hydrogen acceptors such as NAD+, NADP+,
FAD are used.
 Examples
1. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
2. Succninate dehydrogenase
3. Glucose 6-Phosphate dehydrogenase
3. Hydroperoxidases
 Catalase and Peroxidase
2H2O2→2H2O+ O2
II. Transferases : Catalyze transfer of amino,
phosphoryl, methyl, glycosyl groups
1.Transaminases – The catalyze the exchange of
NH2 group between amino acid and keto acids. The
keto acid become amino acid and amino acid become
keto acid. e.g
i. G.O.T (AST)
ii. G.P.T (ALT)
2. Phaspho transferases: kinases
3. Transmethylases transfer
of methyl group from methionine
to form creatine & adrenaline etc.

or mutases.

28
What Affects Enzyme
Activity?
 Three factors:
1. Environmental Conditions
2. Cofactors and Coenzymes
3. Enzyme Inhibitors
29
1. Environmental Conditions
I. Extreme Temperature are the most
dangerous
- high temps may denature (unfold) the
enzyme.
II. pH (most like 6 - 8 pH near neutral)
III. Ionic concentration (salt ions)
30
2. Cofactors and Coenzymes
 Inorganic substances (zinc, iron) and
vitamins (respectively) are sometimes need
for proper enzymatic activity.
 Example:
Iron must be present in the quaternary
structure - hemoglobin in order for it to pick
up oxygen.
31
3. Examples of Enzyme
Inhibitors
a. Competitive inhibitors: are chemicals
that resemble an enzyme’s normal
substrate and compete with it for the
active site.
Enzyme
Competitive inhibitor
Substrate
32
Inhibitors
b. Noncompetitive inhibitors:
Inhibitors that do not enter the active site, but
bind to another part of the enzyme causing the
enzyme to change its shape, which in turn
alters the active site.
Enzyme

Noncompetitive
Inhibitor
Substrate
 Enzyme and substrate concentrations
Effect of substrate concentration
a) At low substrate concentration, the velocity of
reaction is directly proportional to the substrate
level (part A in graph).
a) In the second phase (part B), the substrate conc. is
not directly proportional to enzyme activity.
c) In the third & final phase (part C), the reaction is
independent of the substrate concentration.
 Temperature and pH effect enzyme action
 Temperature and pH effect enzyme action

Michaelis-Menten Equation
1. Reaction Model
2. Michaelis - Menten equation
 Illustrates in mathematical term the relationship b/w
initial reaction velocity (Vi) & substrates
concentration [S].
Michaelis-Menten Kinetics
 Shows saturation at high substrate concentrations
 Vmax – rate at saturation for a given enzyme
concentration in moles per unit time
 Km – Michaelis constant – substrate concentration
that gives ½ maximal velocity

What is km ?
 The michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is the substrate conc. at
which Vi is half maximal velocity (Vmax/2) attainable at
particular concentration of enzymes.
 It indicates that half of the enzyme molecules(50%) are bound
to substrates molecules when the substrates con.
equals the Km value.

  • 29. 29 1. Environmental Conditions I. Extreme Temperature are the most dangerous - high temps may denature (unfold) the enzyme. II. pH (most like 6 - 8 pH near neutral) III. Ionic concentration (salt ions)
  • 30. 30 2. Cofactors and Coenzymes  Inorganic substances (zinc, iron) and vitamins (respectively) are sometimes need for proper enzymatic activity.  Example: Iron must be present in the quaternary structure - hemoglobin in order for it to pick up oxygen.
  • 31. 31 3. Examples of Enzyme Inhibitors a. Competitive inhibitors: are chemicals that resemble an enzyme’s normal substrate and compete with it for the active site. Enzyme Competitive inhibitor Substrate
  • 32. 32 Inhibitors b. Noncompetitive inhibitors: Inhibitors that do not enter the active site, but bind to another part of the enzyme causing the enzyme to change its shape, which in turn alters the active site. Enzyme active site altered Noncompetitive Inhibitor Substrate
  • 33.  Enzyme and substrate concentrations
  • 34. Effect of substrate concentration a) At low substrate concentration, the velocity of reaction is directly proportional to the substrate level (part A in graph). a) In the second phase (part B), the substrate conc. is not directly proportional to enzyme activity. c) In the third & final phase (part C), the reaction is independent of the substrate concentration.

  • 41. What is km ?  The michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is the substrate conc. at which Vi is half maximal velocity (Vmax/2) attainable at particular concentration of enzymes.  It indicates that half of the enzyme molecules(50%) are bound to substrates molecules when the substrates con. equals the Km value.
