 Major class of naturally occurring organic
compounds, including sugars, starches and
cellulose.

 Play key roles as structural and storage


compounds in cells. FUNCTIONS OF CARBOHYDRATE?

The formula for a carbohydrate is (CH2O)n, where


n≥ 3.

 Classified into THREE major groups :


monosaccharide, disaccharides and
polysaccharide. 7 8

Monosaccharides
 Smallest carbohydrates, also known as simple sugars. Aldose sugars
 Monosaccharides are categorized by:
1) number of carbons (typically 3-9)
2) whether an aldehyde or ketone

 Sugar containing an aldehydes is known as an aldose.


 Sugar containing a ketones is known as a ketose.

Primary Structure of Proteins


 Primary structure of a proteins is the particular
sequence of amino acids connected by peptide bonds.

Proteins are linear polymers of amino acids

43 44

Secondary Structure Basic structural units of proteins:


Secondary structure
 Secondary structure of a protein is the arrangement
of polypeptide backbone of the protein in space.
 The secondary structure includes two kinds of
repeating pattern known as helixes (α-helix, triple
helix) and sheet (β-sheet).
 Hydrogen bonding between backbone atoms are
responsible for both of these secondary structures.

Helix (α-helix, triple helix)


Sheet (β-sheet).
45 46

Tertiary Structure Tertiary Structure


 The overall three dimensional shape that results
from the folding of a protein chain.
 Tertiary structure depends mainly on interactions
of amino acid R groups that are far apart along the
same backbone.
 Cross links between R groups of amino acids in
chain:
disulfide –S–S– +
ionic –COO– H3N–
H bonds C=O HO–
hydrophobic –CH3 H3C–

Quaternary Structure
• The way in which two or more polypeptide
chains associate to form a single three-
dimensional protein unit. Non-covalent
forces are responsible for quaternary
structure essential to the function of
proteins.

 There are three important differences


between RNA and DNA:
Base Nucleoside (RNA) Deoxynucleoside (DNA)
base
Adenine Adenosine Deoxyadenosine
 (1) the sugar in RNA is ribose instead
Guanine Guanosine Deoxyguanosine
of deoxyribose,

Cytosine Cytidine Deoxycytidine  (2) RNA is generally single-stranded
Uracil Uridine (not usually found)
and not double-stranded, and
nucleoside Thymine (not usually found) (Deoxy)thymidinea
 (3) RNA contains uracil in place of
3 major types of RNA thymine.
1) messenger RNA (mRNA); template for protein synthesis
2) transfer RNA (tRNA); adaptor molecules that decode the genetic code
3) ribosomal RNA (rRNA); catalyzing the synthesis of proteins 22

Applications
 A buffer of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate
(HCO3−) is present in blood plasma, to maintain a pH
between 7.35 and 7.45.
 Industrially, buffer solutions are used in fermentation
processes and in setting the correct conditions for dyes
used in colouring fabrics. They are also used in chemical
analysis and calibration of pH meters.
 Majority of biological samples that are used in research
are made in buffers specially PBS (phosphate buffer
saline) at pH 7.4.

Summary
 Biological systems are composed of carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, and notrogen.(Note: some
cellular molecules contain metals and sulfur is
frequently present in disulfide bonds.)
 These molecules are used to build lipids, proteins,
carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, the building
blocks for cell structure and chemical reagents for
cell function.
 Proteins conduct the business of the cell by
regulating cell function.
 Carbohydrates serve primarily as energy sources.

Significance of MM Equation
 Km has a unit of concentration. It is a constant for every
enzyme under specific conditions
 When [S] <<< Km, Vo is directly proportional to [S]
 When [S] >>> Km, Vo = Vmax
 When [S] = Km, Vo = ½ Vmax
 The Km value of an enzyme indicates the concentration of the
substrate required for significant catalysis
 Since Km = (k2+k-1)/k1, when k-1 >>> k2, Km = k-1/k1
 Dissociation constant of ES, KES = [E][S] / [ES] = k-1/k1
 When k-1 >>> k2, Km = KES. High Km = high dissociation = weak

ENZYME KINETICS AND INDUSTRIAL ENZYMOLOGY


Enzyme Structure
Enzymes are also classified on the basis of their composition. Enzymes composed wholly
of protein are known as simple enzymes in contrast to complex enzymes, which are
composed of protein plus a relatively small organic molecule. Complex enzymes are also
known as holoenzymes. In this terminology the protein component is known as the
apoenzyme, while the non-protein component is known as the coenzyme or prosthetic
group where prosthetic group describes a complex in which the small organic molecule
is bound to the apoenzyme by covalent bonds; when the binding between the apoenzyme
and non-protein components is non-covalent, the small organic molecule is called a
coenzyme. Many prosthetic groups and coenzymes are water-soluble derivatives of
vitamins. It should be noted that the main clinical symptoms of dietary vitamin
insufficiency generally arise from the malfunction of enzymes, which lack sufficient
cofactors derived from vitamins to maintain homeostasis.

The non-protein component of an enzyme may be as simple as a metal ion or as


complex as a small non-protein organic molecule. Enzymes that require a metal in their
composition are known as metalloenzymes if they bind and retain their metal atom(s)
under all conditions with very high affinity. Those which have a lower affinity for metal
ion, but still require the metal ion for activity, are known as metal-activated enzymes.

Enzyme-Substrate Interactions
The favored model of enzyme substrate interaction is known as the induced fit model.
This model proposes that the initial interaction between enzyme and substrate is
relatively weak, but that these weak interactions rapidly induce conformational changes
in the enzyme that strengthen binding and bring catalytic sites close to substrate bonds to
be altered. After binding takes place, one or more mechanisms of catalysis generates
transition- state complexes and reaction products. The possible mechanisms of catalysis
are four in number:

1. Catalysis by Bond Strain: In this form of catalysis, the induced structural


rearrangements that take place with the binding of substrate and enzyme ultimately
produce strained substrate bonds, which more easily attain the transition state. The new
conformation often forces substrate atoms and bulky catalytic groups, such as aspartate
and glutamate, into conformations that strain existing substrate bonds.

2. Catalysis by Proximity and Orientation: Enzyme-substrate interactions orient


reactive groups and bring them into proximity with one another. In addition to inducing
strain, groups such as aspartate are frequently chemically reactive as well, and their
proximity and orientation toward the substrate thus favors their participation in catalysis.

1
CPB 30103: Biochemical Engineering
By Law Jeng Yih

3. Catalysis Involving Proton Donors (Acids) and Acceptors (Bases): Other


mechanisms also contribute significantly to the completion of catalytic events initiated by
a strain mechanism, for example, the use of glutamate as a general acid catalyst (proton
donor).

4. Covalent Catalysis: In catalysis that takes place by covalent mechanisms, the


substrate is oriented to active sites on the enzymes in such a way that a covalent
intermediate forms between the enzyme or coenzyme and the substrate. One of the best-
known examples of this mechanism is that involving proteolysis by serine proteases,
which include both digestive enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase) and several
enzymes of the blood clotting cascade. These proteases contain an active site serine
whose R group hydroxyl forms a covalent bond with a carbonyl carbon of a peptide bond,
thereby causing hydrolysis of the peptide bond.

Chemical Reactions and Rates


According to the conventions of biochemistry, the rate of a chemical reaction is described
by the number of molecules of reactant(s) that are converted into product(s) in a specified
time period. Reaction rate is always dependent on the concentration of the chemicals
involved in the process and on rate constants that are characteristic of the reaction. For
example, the reaction in which A is converted to B is written as follows:

A ------> B

The rate of this reaction is expressed algebraically as either a decrease in the


concentration of reactant A:

-[A] = k[B]

or an increase in the concentration of product B:

[B] = k[A]

In the second equation (of the 3 above) the negative sign signifies a decrease in
concentration of A as the reaction progresses, brackets define concentration in molarity
and the k is known as a rate constant. Rate constants are simply proportionality constants
that provide a quantitative connection between chemical concentrations and reaction
rates. Each chemical reaction has characteristic values for its rate constants; these in turn
directly relate to the equilibrium constant for that reaction. Thus, reaction can be
rewritten as an equilibrium expression in order to show the relationship between reaction
rates, rate constants and the equilibrium constant for this simple case. The rate constant
for the forward reaction is defined as k+1 and the reverse as k-1.

2
CPB 30103: Biochemical Engineering
By Law Jeng Yih

At equilibrium the rate (V) of the forward reaction (A ----> B) is, by definition,
equal to that of the reverse or back reaction (B ----> A), a relationship which is
algebraically symbolized as:

Vforward = Vreverse
where, for the forward reaction:

Vforward = k+1[A]
and for the reverse reaction:

Vreverse = k-1[B]

In the above equations, k+1 and k-1 represent rate constants for the forward and
reverse reactions, respectively. The negative subscript refers only to a reverse reaction,
not to an actual negative value for the constant. To put the relationships of the two
equations into words, we state that the rate of the forward reaction [Vforward] is equal to
the product of the forward rate constant k+1 and the molar concentration of A. The rate of
the reverse reaction is equal to the product of the reverse rate constant k-1 and the molar
concentration of B.

At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse
reaction leading to the equilibrium constant of the reaction and is expressed by:

Keq = k+1/ k-1 = [B]/[A]

This equation demonstrates that the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction
is not only equal to the equilibrium ratio of product and reactant concentrations, but is
also equal to the ratio of the characteristic rate constants of the reaction.

Inhibition of Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions


Both the Lineweaver-Burk and Eadie-Hofstee transformation of the Michaelis-Menton
equation are useful in the analysis of enzyme inhibition.

As noted earlier, high concentrations of substrate can displace virtually all


competitive inhibitor bound to active sites. Thus, it is apparent that Vmax should be
unchanged by competitive inhibitors. This characteristic of competitive inhibitors is
reflected in the identical vertical-axis intercepts of Lineweaver-Burk plots, with and
without inhibitor.

CPB 30103: Biochemical Engineering

Lineweaver-Burk Plots of Inhibited Enzymes

Since attaining Vmax requires appreciably higher substrate concentrations in the


presence of competitive inhibitor, Km (the substrate concentration at half maximal
velocity) is also higher, as demonstrated by the differing negative intercepts on the
horizontal axis in panel B.

Analogously, panel C illustrates that noncompetitive inhibitors appear to have no


effect on the intercept at the x-axis implying that noncompetitive inhibitors have no effect
on the Km of the enzymes they inhibit. Since noncompetitive inhibitors do not interfere in
the equilibration of enzyme, substrate and ES complexes, the Km's of Michaelis-Menten
type enzymes are not expected to be affected by noncompetitive inhibitors, as
demonstrated by x-axis intercepts in panel C. However, because complexes that contain
inhibitor (ESI) are incapable of progressing to reaction products, the effect of a
noncompetitive inhibitor is to reduce the concentration of ES complexes that can advance
to product. Since Vmax = k2[Etotal], and the concentration of competent Etotal is diminished
by the amount of ESI formed, noncompetitive inhibitors are expected to decrease Vmax, as
illustrated by the y-axis intercepts in panel C.

4
CPB 30103: Biochemical Engineering
By Law Jeng Yih

A corresponding analysis of uncompetitive inhibition leads to the expectation that


these inhibitors should change the apparent values of Km as well as Vmax. Changing both
constants leads to double reciprocal plots, in which intercepts on the x and y axes are
proportionately changed; this leads to the production of parallel lines in inhibited and
uninhibited reactions.

Linearizing the Michaelis-Menten Equation

the initial substrate concentration

What is the physical meaning of Vmax?

Vmax kcat [ E ]T

Vmax is the product of the catalytic rate constant (or turnover number) by the
total concentration of enzyme in the assay. Therefore, Vmax depends on the
conditions of the assay. The important parameter is kcat, which is the same
for a given reaction at standard conditions.

kcat has units of s-1

The Km of an enzyme is normally close to the concentration of substrate in


physiological conditions to maximize the efficiency of the enzyme

Enzymes 2: Enzyme Kinetics Enzymes 2: Enzyme Kinetics

kcat values for various enzymes: Different enzymes might have similar efficiencies but very different
Km and kcat values.

The best parameter for comparing activities of various enzymes or various substrates
of the same enzyme is the Specificity Constant, which is defined as the rate
constant for conversion of E+S into E+P:

kcat
When [ S ] ((( K m ##
$V0 [ E ]T [ S ]

kcat/Km is the specificity constant. The higher this parameter the more efficient
the enzyme (has units of a second order reaction: M-1s-1).

The specificity constant for an enzyme has an upper value of ~109 M-1s-1
determined by the rate of diffusion of the E and S molecules in aqueous solution.
The kcat varies widely from enzyme to enzyme and typically reflects an specificity constant near the diffusion-control value means that every time that
the specific rate of production needed for each particular product a molecule of E collides with one of S it catalizes its conversion into P.
