1. Introduction: Enzymes Overview
Here’s an experiment you should try at home.
Take any starchy food (a cracker, a piece of white bread, a spoonful of rice, or a spoonful of mashed potatoes). Place it in your mouth and chew for a long time—an uncomfortably long time. Close your eyes, and focus on your taste buds. After a while, the starchy taste will be accompanied by the taste of sugar. Where did that sugar come from?
Starch is a polymer of glucose. In your saliva, you have an enzyme called amylase. When you eat any food with starch, amylase breaks the starch into maltose, a disaccharide. In other words, as you chew and mix the food with saliva, an enzyme in your saliva is breaking starch into sugar (which is why you can sense the sweetness).
Enzymes are the substances that control the chemical reactions that occur in all living things – bacterial cells, daffodils, lizards, and, people. It’s hard to overstate their importance.

[h] Enzymes and Activation Energy
[i] Why do you need to strike a match to get it to burst into flames? It’s all about activation energy. In living things, enzymes lower the activation energy required to start life’s chemical reactions. Click start to see how.
[q multiple_choice=”true”] Let’s start by defining a few key terms. Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions, without themselves being changed or used up by the reaction. Enzymes are the catalysts in living things. Almost all enzymes are proteins. Because enzymes are catalysts, however much enzyme is present at the start of a reaction is how much there will be at the end.
To make sure you’re getting this, answer this question: A student is experimenting with amylase, the enzyme used to break down starch. She adds 2 grams of the enzyme to a test tube. At the end of the experiment, how much enzyme should be left in the test tube?

[q labels = “right”]Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To understand this, think about what happens in a reaction that releases energy, such as burning a match. Think of the reactant (the chemicals in the match that go into the chemical reaction) as a rock high on a hill. Similarly, think of the product (the chemical or chemicals that come out of a chemical reaction) as that same rock, lower down on the same hill. The rock’s energy can only be released if you give the rock a push. When you light a match, that push is striking the match. The name for the push needed to start a reaction is activation energy. Knowing that, label this diagram.

[h]Interactive Reading: Enzymes and Substrates
[i]Now that we understand enzymes and activation energy, let’s see how enzymes work.
[q]The thing that an enzyme acts upon is called a substrate. As a general rule, each enzyme interacts with only one substrate. For example, amylase, the enzyme discussed in the introduction to this tutorial, can break down the polysaccharide starch into the disaccharide maltose.
True or false: Because amylase can break down starch, it can probably break down proteins, too.

In the image on the left, you can see a representation of the interaction between an enzyme and its substrate. In reality, most enzymes are MUCH bigger than their substrates. The enzyme (1) binds with the substrate (3) at a specific region of the enzyme called the active site (2). The fit between an enzyme’s active site and the enzyme’s substrate is as specific as the fit between a lock and a ______. In the same way as a lock will respond to only ______ key, the _________ can only act upon substrates that fit into its _________ site.

When enzymes bind with a substrate, they form a temporary unit called an enzyme-substrate complex. In a reaction where the enzyme breaks a substrate apart (like the one shown here), the enzyme will place stress on the bonds holding the substrate together and snap those bonds apart. This changes the substrate into a product. In the diagram above, the enzyme-substrate complex must be at

[h]Interactive Reading: Enzymes and their environment
[i]At this point, you should understand:
- How enzymes reduce the activation energy of the chemical reactions in living things.
- How enzymes interact with their substrates to catalyze reactions
Now, let’s turn to how enzymes are affected by the conditions in their environment.
[q]Enzymes are found in a variety of places in living systems. Some enzymes operate inside cells. Others are found inside organs, such as the stomach or the intestines. Some organisms, like fungi, secrete enzymes outside their bodies. In every case, enzymes are affected by the environment in which they work.
Here’s a very straightforward example of how an enzyme is affected by its environment. An enzyme is placed in solutions with pH 1, pH 2, and pH 3. As shown in the graph below, which pH (level of acidity) shows the highest level of enzyme activity?

[q labels = “top”]Why would an enzyme’s activity vary so dramatically in relationship to pH (or other aspects of its environment)? Enzymes only work if their shape complements their ___________‘s shape. This fit occurs at one special place on the enzyme: at the _______ site. Because enzymes are __________, their shape is based on many interactions between the ________ acids that make them up. If you change an enzyme’s ______________, especially by changing the temperature or the pH, you’ll change those amino acid interactions. This changes the enzyme’s _________, which will decrease or block its ability to ______ with its substrate.

When a change in an enzyme’s environment changes the enzyme’s shape in a way that reduces its ability to catalyze reactions, the enzyme is said to be denatured. The process is called denaturation.
In the diagram at left. Assume that 1 is the substrate. Which number is the denatured enzyme?

[q]Denaturation can be reversible or irreversible. If the enzyme can return to its previous state, then the denaturation is reversible. If the denaturation is permanent, then the denaturation is irreversible.
While egg white is not an enzyme, it is a protein. When you cook an egg, you take the liquid protein, and, through cooking, you denature it, making it into a solid. That egg white will never return to its previous form. That’s irreversible denaturation.
[q]

[q]Note that in this graph, the higher up we go on the Y axis, the more the enzyme is interacting with its substrate and changing it into the product. Notice that the highest level is pH 2. Another way of saying this is that pH 2 is the pH optimum (the best pH for this enzyme).
What happens at any pH that is lower than 2?

[q]Another environmental factor is substrate concentration. In the graph below, that’s represented by “[S].”
At low substrate concentrations, shown as “Low [S]” in the left third of the graph, the probability of the enzyme meeting the substrate to catalyze the reaction is low, and the product will be produced at a low rate. As substrate concentration increases (Medium [S]), the collision and the reaction rate will increase.
Eventually, the enzymes become saturated. That means that there’s so much substrate that every enzyme’s active site will be bound to a substrate. At that point — the saturation point — the reaction will reach a maximum rate (and the rate flattens out).

[qdeck bold_text=”false”style=”width: 550px !important; min-height: 400px !important;” qrecord_id=”sciencemusicvideosMeister1961-Enzymes Flashcards (2.0)”]
[h] Flashcards: Enzymes
[i] If you haven’t used a set of flashcards on Learn-Biology.com before, here’s what you need to know.
- Click ‘Check Answer’ to see the answer to each card.
- If you know it, click ‘Got it.”
- If you don’t know it as well as you’d like, click ‘Need more practice,’ and that card will go to the bottom of the deck so you can practice it again.
- ‘Shuffle’ lets you shuffle the deck.
[q]Compare the roles of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
[a]In a chemical reaction, the substances that participate in the reaction are called reactants. The substances that result from the reaction are called products.
[q]What’s a catalyst? What’s the name for the catalysts found in living systems, and what kind of biomolecule are they?
[a]A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. In living systems, the catalysts are enzymes, which are proteins.
[q]What’s activation energy? Sketch the energy profile of an energy-releasing reaction, showing the energy of the products, the energy of the reactants, and the activation energy.
[a]
The energy required to get a chemical reaction started is known as activation energy. A sketch of a typical energy-releasing reaction would look like what’s on the left: “A” is the energy of the reactants, “B” is the energy of the products, “C” is the activation energy, and “E” is the energy released by the reaction.
[q]What’s an active site?
[a]The specific area on an enzyme where it binds with its substrate is called its active site, shown at “2” below.
[q]What’s an enzyme-substrate complex?
[a]At the moment when an enzyme binds with its substrate at the active site, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex. In the image below, the enzyme-substrate complex is at “4.”
[q]What’s the lock and key model of enzyme action? How is it different from induced fit?
[a]The lock and key model of enzyme action explains enzyme specificity. It’s the idea that an enzyme usually has only one substrate that which it can interact. The induced-fit model extends the lock and key idea by positing that in an enzyme-substrate complex, the active site of an enzyme will bend in a way that stresses the bonds of the substrate, causing the substrate to be transformed into the product.
[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”3.Cellular_Energetics” dataset_id=”AP_Bio_Flashcards_2022|1cf4ea47c5910″ question_number=”92″ topic=”3.1-3.Enzymes”] Enzymes have a narrow set of conditions where they can function at or near their optimum. Explain.
[a] Enzymes are proteins. Their shape involves secondary and tertiary-level interactions, including hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic clustering. Changes in pH, temperature or ion concentration interfere with these bonds, changing the shape of the active site, which can keep the enzyme from binding with its substrate. As a result, most enzymes have a pH, ionic, or temperature optimum at which the shape of their active site best fits their substrate. Changing this optimum causes denaturation: a change in the shape that lowers (or completely negates) the enzyme’s function.
[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”3.Cellular_Energetics” dataset_id=”AP_Bio_Flashcards_2022|1ce9460c51910″ question_number=”93″ topic=”3.1-3.Enzymes”] Describe how enzyme activity is affected by changes in the pH of its environment. Include the concept of “denaturation” in your answer, and sketch a graph showing the relation between pH and enzyme activity.
[a] Most enzymes have a pH optimum where they operate at peak efficiency. As the pH moves above or below the optimum, enzyme performance drops. A graph of enzyme efficiency plotted against pH shows a peak at the optimum, and then a drop-off at either side as the enzyme becomes denatured.
[q json=”true” yy=”4″ unit=”3.Cellular_Energetics” topic=”3.1-3.Enzymes” dataset_id=”AP_Bio_Flashcards_2022|1c490d7e6b86c5″ question_number=”94″] Describe how enzyme activity is affected by changes in the temperature of enzyme’s environment. Include the concept of “denaturation” in your answer, and draw a sketch showing the relationship between temperature and enzyme activity.
[a] Up to a certain point, enzyme activity increases with temperature, because more kinetic energy increases molecular motion and increases the chance that the enzyme will bind with its substrate(s). At a certain temperature (beyond 2 in the graph), the enzyme denatures, disrupting the enzyme’s catalytic abilities.
[q]Explain how enzyme activity is affected by substrate concentration.
[a]At low substrate concentrations, the probability of the enzyme meeting the substrate to catalyze the reaction is low, and the product will be produced at a low rate. As substrate concentration increases, the collision and the reaction rate will increase. Eventually, the saturation point is reached, and the reaction will reach a maximum rate.

[q] Beano is a commercial enzyme product that claims to reduce flatulence (farting) by providing enzymes that break down certain carbohydrates that people sometimes have difficulty digesting. The product information tells you not to cook Beano with your food, but to ingest the enzyme tablets just before eating. Why can’t you cook Beano with your food?

[q]The energy required to get a chemical reaction started is known as [hangman] energy.
[c]YWN0aXZhdGlvbg==[Qq]
[q]The substance an enzyme acts upon is called the [hangman].
[c]c3Vic3RyYXRl[Qq]
[q]The specific area on an enzyme where it binds with its substrate is called its [hangman] [hangman].
[c]YWN0aXZl[Qq]
[c]c2l0ZQ==[Qq]
[q]At the moment when an enzyme binds with its substrate at the active site, it forms an [hangman]-[hangman] complex.
[c]ZW56eW1l[Qq]
[c]c3Vic3RyYXRl[Qq]
[q]A useful metaphor about the specificity of enzymes states that a substrate usually has only one enzyme that it can interact with. This is called the [hangman] and [hangman] model of enzyme action.
[c]bG9jaw==[Qq]
[c]a2V5[Qq]
[q]The idea that in an enzyme-substrate complex, an enzyme will bend in a way that stresses the bonds of the substrate is called the [hangman]-[hangman] model of enzyme action.
[c]aW5kdWNlZA==[Qq]
[c]Zml0[Qq]
[q]Every enzyme has a pH or temperature [hangman] at which it functions best.
[c]b3B0aW11bQ==[Qq]
[q]When heat, pH changes, or other factors in an enzyme’s environment cause it to change shape, the enzyme loses its ability to function. At that point, the enzyme is said to be [hangman].
