Enzyme nomenclature
  • Name is based on

what with or how it reacts
-ase ending

Examples To react with lactose. lactase To
remove carboxyl from pyruvate. pyruvate
decarboxylase
6
Classification of enzymes
  • Based on type of reaction
  • Oxireductase
  • Transferase
  • Hydrolase
  • Lyase
  • Isomerases
  • Ligase

catalyze a redox reaction transfer a functional
group catalyze hydrolysis rxns Add or remove to
CC bonds rearrange to form isomers join two
molecules
7
The Active Site
  • Enzymes are typically HUGE proteins, yet only a
    small part are actually involved in reaction.

The active site has two basic components. catalyt
ic site binding site
Model of trios-p-isomerase
8
The Active Site
Catalytic site Where reaction occurs
Binding Site holds substrate in place
Substrate
Enzyme
9
SPECIFICITY
  • Enzymes are very specific. Each enzyme will
    catalyze only one type of reactions and often
    will only work with a specific substrate.
  • Ex. NH2-C-NH2 H20 2NH3
    CO2
  • Urease has no effect on other compounds.
  • Such absolute specificity is rather rare among
    enzymes.

urease
O
10
Enzyme classes
  • Absolutely specific
  • Only reacts with a single substrate.
  • Group specific
  • Works with similar molecules with the same
    functional group.
  • Linkage specific
  • Catalyzes a specific combination of bonds.
  • Stereochemically specific
  • Only will work with the proper D- or L- form.

11
  • ISOENZYMES Different enzymes that perform the
    same type of function in different organisms or
    tissues.

12
Enzyme-substrate complex
  • Step 1 (All of these steps are in equilibrium)
  • Enzyme and substrate combine to form complex
  • E S ES
  • Enzyme Substrate Complex


13
Enzyme-product complex
  • Step 2
  • An enzyme-product complex is formed.
  • ES EP

14
Product
  • The enzyme and product separate
  • EP E P

16
Lock and Key Theory
  • Enzyme is lock and Substrate is the key.
  • Substrate structure
  • must fit into enzymes structure.

17
Induced Fit Theory
  • Active site may not fit substrate.
  • Site must change in order to form the complex.

19
Effect of Temp on Enzymatic Rxns
  • Exceeding normal pH and temperature ranges
    always reduces enzyme reaction rates.

Optimum Temp usually 37oC.

Effect of pH on Enzymatic Rxns
Most enzymes work best near pH 7.4 not all
though.

21
Examples of optimum pH
  • Optimum
  • Enzyme Source pH
  • pepsin gastric mucosa 1.5
  • sucrase intestine 6.2
  • catalase liver 7.3
  • arginase beef liver 9.0
  • alkaline bone 9.5
  • phosphatase

22
Effect of substrate concentration
For non-enzyme catalyzed reactions
Rate of reaction (velocity)
Rate increases if concentration of the substrate
increases
Substrate concentration
23
Effect of substrate concentration
For Enzyme catalyzed reactions
Rates increase but only to a certain point
Saturation point
Vmax w/ more enzyme
Vmax w/ some enzyme
At Vmax the enzyme is working as fast as it can.
Rate of reaction (velocity)
Rate is limited by the concentration of both the
substrate and enzyme.

25
Turnover Number
  • Turnover Number
  • The rate at which an enzyme transforms the
    substrate
  • Is measured at optimum pH and temperature.

Example Carbonic Anhydrase H2CO3
H2O CO2
36,000,000 molecules minute
26
ENZYME INHIBITION
  • Inhibitors interfere with ability of enzyme to
    react properly with its substrate.
  • For example
  • Medicinal drugs
  • inhibit by inactivating an enzyme essential to
    bacterial growth.
  • Viruses more difficult to inhibit because they
    use enzyme system of the host cell.
  • (An inhibitor of a virus also
  • destroys host cells)

27
ENZYME INHIBITION
  • Two Types of Inhibitors
  • Competitive
  • Noncompetitive

28
COMPETITIVE INHIBITOR
Competes with substrate for the active site.
Enzyme mistakes inhibitor for substrate

Competitive Inhibitors
Sulfa Drugs
  • Illnesses caused by invading microorganisms like
    bacterium can be combated using a competitive
    inhibitor called an antimetabolite.
  • Folic Acid is a coenzyme in many biosynthetic
    processes like synthesis of amino acids and
    nucleotides.

32
Sulfa Drugs
  • Folic Acid obtained
  • from the diet or
  • from microorganisms in the intestinal tract.

Microorganisms make folic acid from PABA.
33
  • In 1930 it was discovered that sulfanilamide,
    along with sulfapyridine and sulfathiazole, could
    kill many types of harmful bacteria and help cure
    several diseases.
  • The bacteria are tricked into using the sulfa
    drugs instead of PABA.
  • They make a molecule that also has a folic acid
    type of structure but is not exactly the same.

34
(No Transcript)
35
  • When they try to use this fake folic acid as a
    coenzyme, not only doesnt it work, it is now a
    competitive inhibitor.
  • Many of the bacterias amino acids and
    nucleotides cannot be made, and the bacteria die.

36
Penicillin War of Enzyme against Enzyme.
  • Produced by mold, it prevents growth of bacteria
    by successfully competing for active sites on an
    enzyme that bacteria need for cell wall
    production.
  • 1. Bacteria need the enzyme transpeptidase to
    make their cell walls rigid and cross-linked.
  • 2. Penicillin takes control of transpeptidase.
  • 3. Bacteria cell walls are not cross-linked and
    the contents of the bacteria cells cannot be
    held in.
  • 4. Cytoplasm spills out, and the bacteria die.

37
  • Penicillin is an example of a beta-lactam.
  • It has within its structure the beta-lactam ring.
  • Over the past 15-20 years a new strain of
    bacteria has developed that can resist
    penicillin. They contain an enzyme
    (penicillinase) that opens the beta-lactam ring
    and renders the penicillin ineffective.

38
By changing the R group, science has found a way
to prevent this from happening.
39
Non competitive Inhibition
  • This type of inhibitor is believed to alter the
    shape of the enzyme and greatly reduce its
    affinity for the substrate.
  • 1. It does not compete with the substrate for
    the active site.
  • 2. It does not need to resemble the structure
    of the substrate.
  • 3. Its effect cannot be reversed by increasing
    the substrate concentration.

40
Non competitive Inhibition
  • A noncompetitive inhibitor can bind to an enzyme
    in many ways.
  • If it binds somewhere on the surface of the
    enzyme, it causes a change in the tertiary
    structure.
  • The substrate is inhibited because it cant get
    into the enzyme.

41
Regulation of enzyme activity
  • Enzymes are often
  • regulated by the cell.
  • (Unlike other catalysts)

Cells use several methods to control when
how well enzymes work.
42
PROENZYMES (ZYMOGENS)
  • Enzymes manufactured in inactive form.

Activated when small part of polypeptide chain
removed.
Hormones, Digestive Enz, Blood Clotting Enz

47
Allosterism FeedBack Control.
Product of one enzyme reaction Controls activity
of another
  • A B C D

E1
E2
E3
  • Each step is catalyzed by a different enzyme.
  • Product D may inhibit the activity of enzyme E1
  • When D is low, the 3 reactions proceed rapidly.
  • As D increases, E1 becomes inhibited and
    eventually stops.
  • Therefore, the accumulation of D is a message
    telling enzyme E1 to shut down.
  • This is called feed back control.

48
  • Similar to coenzymes.
  • The presence of an effector molecule alters how
    an enzyme will act.

49
Allosteric Enzymes
  • Application of non competitive inhibition
  • Regulates away from active site

Inactive Enzyme

Positive allosterism - activates the
enzyme. Negative allosterism - deactivates the
enzyme.

51
  • In the body, the protein Kinase is in the
    inactive form most of the time.
  • It has a regulator attached that affects the
    active site.
  • E R
  • The regulator is controlled by another molecule
    called cAMP.
  • cyclic Adenosine MonoPhosphate)

52
  • Whenever the Kinase activity is needed, the body
    sends cAMP to activate the protein Kinase from
    its E-R form.
  • E R cAMP

53
  • This is how the ion gates in the postsynaptic
    membane are opened and closed.
  • When the neurotransmission stops, cAMP is
    destroyed by the enzyme phosphodiesterase.

58
HOLOENZYMES AND PROSTHETIC GROUPS
  • The Apoenzyme plus the cofactor or coenzyme is
    often referred to as the HOLOENZYME.
  • A Cofactor that is tightly bound to the apoenzyme
    is referred to as a PROSTHETIC GROUP.

59
Vitamins are oftenconverted to coenzymes
  • Vitamin Coenzyme made Function
  • B1 thiamine pyrophosphate
    decarboxylation
  • B2 flavin mononucleotide carries
    hydrogen
  • folic acid tetrahydrofolic acid amino
    acid
  • metabolism
  • biotin biocytin CO2 fixation
  • pantothenic Coenzyme A acyl group carrier
  • acid

60
Enzymes in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment
  • Most enzymes are confined within the cells of the
    body.
  • However, small amounts can also be found in body
    fluids (blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid)
  • The level of enzyme activity outside the cells
    can be easily monitored.
  • Abnormal activity (high or low) of particular
    enzymes in various body fluids signals either the
    onset of certain diseases or their progression.

62
EXAMPLES
  • Dead heart muscle cells spill their enzyme
    contents into the serum.
  • The level of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase
    (GOT) in the serum rises rapidly after a heart
    attack.
  • The levels of GOT as well as lactate
    dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase are
    closely monitored in order to diagnose the
    severity of a myocardial infarction.

63
Specific enzyme examples
  • Lets look at role of some specific enzymes.
  • Two good examples are
  • Chymotrypsin
  • - A proteolytic enzyme (protein-cleaving).
  • - Used in digestion of dietary protein in the
  • small intestines.
  • Acetylcholinesterase
  • - Used for hydrolysis of acetylcholine.
  • - Needed for operation of nerves.

64
Chymotrypsin
This enzyme is a proteolytic enzyme. It cleaves
peptide bonds.
Peptide bond
This enzyme only works on amino acids containing
an aromatic ring. phenylalanine, tyrosine and
tryptophan.
65
Acetylcholinesterase andnerve transmission
  • This enzyme is needed to transmit a nerve signal
    at a neuromuscular junction.
  • Arrival of a nerve signal causes Ca2 levels to
    increase.
  • This causes acetylcholine containing vesicles to
    move to end of the nerve cell where it is
    released.
  • Acetylcholine then diffuses across synapse to
    pass the signal to the muscle.
  • Acetylcholinesterase then destroys the
    acetylcholine to stop the signal.

66
Acetylcholinesterase andnerve transmission
Presence of acetylcholine at receptor causes a
flow of sodium and potassium ions. This causes a
muscle contraction.
synaptic cleft
acetylcholine receptor protein
acetylcholinesterase - destroys excess
acetylcholine
67
Acetylcholinesterase
68
Acetylcholinesterase andnerve transmission
  • Without the enzyme, muscles would continue to
    contract causing spasms.
  • Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used as
    drugs and poisons.
  • Organo fluorophosphates
  • - bind to the enzyme. Death can occur.
  • Succinylcholine
  • Acts like acetylcholine and binds to sites on
    the muscle. Used as a muscle relaxant.

69
Another example
  • Blood Clotting - formation of fibrin.
  • Process requires a series of enzymatic steps.
  • Many of the enzymes are made in an inactive
    form. This prevents blood from clotting on its
    own.
  • Two pathways can be used to start the process.
  • Extrinsic - Activated by tissue damage,
    outside the blood vessel.
  • Intrinsic - Activated by damage within a
    blood vessel.

72
Drug interactions
  • Drugs can be administered to alter the clotting
    mechanism.
  • Example Heparin - an anticoagulant.
  • Acts by accelerating the action of the existing
    inhibitor of thrombin - antithrombin III.
  • Antithrombin III inhibits activation of the
    clotting factors that have a reactive serine
    residue at their enzymatically active centers.

75
Defective enzymesand disease
A number of hereditary diseases result from
the absence of an enzyme or a defective
one. Disease Defective enzyme
Albinism tyrosinase Glactosemia glactose
1-phosphate uridyltransferase
Phenylketonuria phenylalanine hydroxylase
(PKU) Tay-Sachs disease hexosaminidase A
76
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
  • Genetic mutation that results in a defect of the
    enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. (carried by 2
    of population)
  • Affects about 1 baby per 13,000.
  • Feds may require screening at birth.
  • Can result in retarded physical and mental
  • development if untreated.
  • Treatment - restrict
  • phenylalanine until age 10
  • (until brain is developed).

77
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PKU is one of a family of enzymatic/genetic
disorders related to phenylalanine metabolism.

78
ALKAPTONURIA AND OCHRONOSIS
  • Alkaptonuria is a rare disease in which the body
    does not have enough of an enzyme called
    homogentisic acid oxidase (HGAO)
  • homogentisic acid (HGA) is not used and builds up
    in the body
  • Some is eliminated in the urine, and the rest is
    deposited in body tissues where it is toxic.
  • The result is ochronosis, a blue-black
    discoloration of connective tissue including
    bone, cartilage, and skin caused by deposits of
    ochre-colored pigment.
