HISTORY of EnzymesHISTORY of Enzymes
As early as the late 1700s and As early as the late 1700s and early 1800s, the digestion of early 1800s, the digestion of meat by stomach secretionsmeat by stomach secretions and and the conversion of starch to the conversion of starch to sugars by plant extracts and sugars by plant extracts and saliva were known. However, the saliva were known. However, the mechanism by which this mechanism by which this occurred had not been identified.occurred had not been identified.

Enzymes have Enzymes have unique three-unique three-dimensional dimensional shapes that fit the shapes that fit the shapes of shapes of reactants reactants (substrates)(substrates)
Thermodynamics
The energies of various stages of a chemical reaction. Substrates need a large amount of energy to reach a transition state, which then decays into products.
The enzyme stabilizes the transition state, reducing the energy needed to form products.
As all catalysts, enzymes do not alter the position of the chemical equilibrium of the reaction. Usually, in the presence of an enzyme, the reaction runs in the same direction as it would without the enzyme, just more quickly.
For example, carbonic anhydrase catalyzes its reaction in either direction depending on the concentration of its reactants.
(in tissues; high CO2 concentration)
in lungs; low CO2 concentration).
Kinetics
Enzyme kinetics is the investigation of how enzymes bind substrates and turn them into products.
The enzyme (E) binds a substrate (S) and produces a product (P).
In 1902 Victor Henri contribute was to think of enzyme reactions in two stages. In the first, the substrate binds reversibly to the enzyme, forming the enzyme-substrate complex.
This is sometimes called the Michaelis complex.
The enzyme then catalyzes the chemical step in the reaction and releases the product.

The enzyme then catalyzes the chemical step in the reaction and releases the product.
Saturation curve for an enzyme reaction showing the relation between the substrate concentration (S) and rate (v).
Enzyme rates depend on solution conditions and substrate concentration.
Conditions that denature the protein abolish enzyme activity, such as high temperatures, extremes of pH or high salt concentrations.
while raising substrate concentration tends to increase activity. Saturation happens because, as substrate concentration increases, more and more of the free enzyme is converted into the substrate-bound ES form.
At the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the enzyme, all the enzyme active sites are bound to substrate, and the amount of ES complex is the same as the total amount of enzyme. However, Vmax is only one kinetic constant of enzymes.
Km, : is the substrate concentration required for an enzyme to reach one-half its maximum velocity. Each enzyme has a characteristic Km for a given substrate.
kcat : is the number of substrate molecules handled by one active site per second.
So The efficiency of an enzyme = kcat/Km.
This is also called the specificity constant and incorporates the rate constants for all steps in the reaction (affinity and catalytic ability).
