AMAZING ENZYMESAMAZING ENZYMES
Just What are Enzymes?• Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and
animal cells. All cells require enzymes to survive and function.• Enzymes are catalysts, which means that they speed up chemical reactions,
but are not changed by the reaction. For example, digestive enzymes cause food that we eat to be broken down much faster than would occur without them, but they are not broken down in the reaction they are speeding up.
• Unfortunately, because of improper diet and the fact that heat destroys many enzymes, you may not be receiving all you need to properly support your overall health.
• Plus Life Plus uses Cold Processing in it's manufacturing. Cold processing is used to maximize and preserve enzyme activity.
• For additional enzymes support try SomaZyme. The enzymes in Somazyme naturally and nutritionally support a youthful body, provide antioxidant support, as well as support healthy pancreas and immune system function.*
• Virtually everyone of the Life Plus products is formulated with the exclusive PhytoZyme base of phytonutrients consisting of concentrations of herbs, fruits, vegetables and plant enzymes.
WHAT ARE ENZYMES?
• Enzymes are protein catalyst which speed up or slow down a chemical reaction without itself being consumed by the reaction.
• They remain unchanged
Enzyme Action

However certain substances can bind to the enzyme at sites other than theActive site and modify its activity (inhibitors/co-factors)

Effect of heat on enzyme activtyIf you heat the protein above its optimal temperature
bonds break meaning the protein loses it secondary and tertiary structure

Even if temperature lowered – enzyme can’t regain its correct shape

ENERGY CHANGES
• When chemical reactions take place bonds are broken and formed.
• Breaking bonds require energy it is endergonic.
• If the energy is in the form of heat it is Endothermic
ENERGY CHANGES
• Froming bonds give out energy it is exergonic.
• If the energy is in the form of heat it is Exothermic.
ENERGY CHANGES
• Metabolism consists of anabolism and catabolism.
• Anabolic reactions: Large complex molecules are built from smaller ones. The reactions are endergonic.
• Eg: Protein Synthesis– Photosynthesis
ENERGY CHANGES
• Catabolic reactions: large complex molecules are broken into smaller ones.
• The reactions are exergonic
• Eg. Respiration
• Endergonic reaction: requires energy, usually ATP
• Exergonic reaction: releases energy, occurs spontaneously

If exergonic reactions occur spontaneously, why isn’t the paper in front
of you on fire?
• An exergonic reaction
Just as the person may need a push to get started down a hill, many of the exergonic reactions that living
organisms depend on for survival may need a “push”.
∆G < 0
Figure 6.12 Energy profile of an exergonic reaction
EA = activation energy
In living organisms the “somethings” that provide that push are called enzymes
Without enzyme:
With enzyme:
Figure 6.13 Enzymes lower the barrier of activation energy
Most enzymes are protein molecules with a specific 3-dimensional shape
enzyme “induced fit”

Active site
Enzymes catalyze reactions in living organisms: 1. Bring reactant molecules close together
2. Make bonds easier to break/form
Notes about enzymes• Enzymes only increase the rate of
exergonic reactions, they can’t cause non-spontaneous reactions to occur
• Only the substrate will be altered, the enzyme will be released to work again
• Enzymes are one type of catalyst
What determines how well an enzyme works?
• Binding of enzyme and substrate
• Temperature at which the enzyme functions
Can a species’ enzymes be shaped by natural selection?
• Does the same enzyme show variation from one individual to another?
• Is the form of enzyme an individual produce a heritable trait?
• Does the form of enzyme individual produce affect its survival/reproduction?
