Basics of Enzymes
Life Processes
Enzyme mediated
Chemical reactions in biological systems
Spontaneous and fast
Thermodynamically or energetically favorable
HCl + NaOH
Na + Cl + H2 O
2 H2 + O2
ATP + H 2O
2 H2 O
ADP + Pi
Enzymes
Catalysts for biological reactions
Most are proteins
organic (vitamins)
Example:
CO2 + H2O
Carbonic
anhydrase
H2 CO3

Enzyme Classes
1. Oxidoreductases
2. Transferases
3. Hydrolases
Oxidation-reduction
reactions
Transfer of functional
groups
Hydrolysis reactions
(cleavage and introduction
of water)
4. Lyases
5. Isomerases
6. Ligases (synthases)
Group elimination/addition
to form double bond
Isomerization
(intramolecular
rearrangements)
Examples of Classification of
Enzymes
Oxidoreductoases
Transferases
Hydrolases
Lyases
Oxidases oxidize
Reductases - reduce
Urease
Arginase

Enzymes classification system for assigning code
numbers to them
Contain 4 elements separated by points, with the
following meaning:

Only certain substrates can fit the active site
Enzyme-substrate complex forms
Substrate reacts to form product
Product is released

Enzyme Cofactors
Cofactors
A substance needed to be present in addition to an
enzyme
Classification of Cofactors
Cofactors
Essential ions
Activator ions
(loosely bound)
Metal ions of
metalloenzymes
(tightly bound)
Coenzymes
Cosubstrates
(loosely bound)
Prosthetic groups
(tightly bound)
Prosthetic group
Remains bound to enzyme during reaction
Either bound to apoenzyme or active site
Must return to its original form or holoenzyme will not be active
Supply reactive groups not available on enzyme
Coenzymes
Example: Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Must be regenerated
2H+ + 2e
NAD+
2H+ + 2e
NADH + H+
Prosthetic Groups
Example: cytochromes
CytochromeHeme(Fe3+)
