Enzymes• Special proteins• Increase the speed of
biochemical reactions (catalysts)
• Lower the activation energy of chemical reactions
• Usually end in “ase”• Named after the
substrate they act upon• Critical to life

How Enzymes Work
• Active site: region where the reaction takes place – specific shape
• Substrates: reactants– specific shape– bind to active site

How Enzymes Work
1. Substrates bind to enzyme’s active site. - lock and key or puzzle piece fit

2. Enzyme substrate complex- chemical reaction occurs

How Enzymes Work
3. New products are released- enzyme can be used again

Types of Reactions
• Decomposition: when a large molecule is broken down into smaller molecules– Ex: 2H2O2 2H2O + O2
• Enzyme = catalase
• Synthesis: when 2 or more small molecules are combined to form a larger molecule– Ex: RNA Polymerase combines nucleotides to form
RNA

Conditions
• Most enzymes need a certain temperature and pH range• If enzymes are exposed to conditions outside their designated
temperature and pH range, they could denature (unfold and become non-functional)
