ORIGIN early 20th cent.: from catalysis , on the pattern of analyst. (New Oxford American Dictionary) Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 4 Enzymes as Catalysts 5 Enzyme are biological catalysts ✦ Nearly every reaction in a living cell is catalyzed by an enzyme. ✦ Most enzymes are proteins. ✦ The reactants in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction are called substrates. ✦ Enzymes are incredibly efficient at what they do, so capable of increasing the rates of chemical reactions a million to as much as a billion times over an uncatalyzed reaction! Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 5 Enzymes as Catalysts 6 Enzymes can exhibit: ✦ High specificity • High substrate specificity • High reaction specificity • Stereospecificity ✦ They can couple energetically unfavorable reactions with those that are favorable. ✦ They serve as control points in metabolic pathways. Question: Explain why it should be a relatively simple task for an enzyme to distinguish between L-alanine and D-alanine. Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 6 Enzymes as Catalysts 7 Enzymes are often the target for drug therapies.

Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 10 Enzyme Classes and Nomenclature 11 There is also a systematic nomenclature that names of enzymes using numbers ✦ The numbers describes • the class of reaction • the substrates used in the reaction • the products produced in the reaction ✦ Then numbers are called Enzyme Commission (E.C.) numbers. ✦ The scheme for deriving these number is defined by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) ✦ The SwissProt Enzyme Database provides an example of how the EC numbers are used. Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 11 Enzyme Classes and Nomenclature 12 Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 12 Enzyme Nomenclature 13 Systematic names use numbers ✦ pyruvate kinase - EC 2.7.1.40 ✦ alcohol dehydrogenase - EC 1.1.1.1 Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 13 Enzyme Classes 14 Oxidoreductases (1.) ✦ Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions ✦ For example • lactate dehydrogenase ✦ lactate:NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.27) Distinguishing features: ✦ Many (dehydrogenases) involve addition or removal of H2 as H:- + H+ Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 14 Enzyme Classes 15 Transferases (2.) ✦ Catalyze the transfer of a group from one molecule to another ✦ For example • L-alanine amino transferase ✦ L-alanine:2-oxyglutarate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2) Distinguishing features: ✦ Look for double-replacement reactions Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 15 Enzyme Classes 16 Hydrolases (3.) ✦ Catalyze a special case of transfer reactions, where water is the acceptor of the group being transferred. The reactions lead to the splitting of molecules in two. ✦ For example • pyrophosphatase ✦ diphosphate phosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.1) ✦ Distinguishing features: • Look for water splitting in conjunction with another molecule splitting Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 16 Enzyme Classes 17 Lyases (4.) ✦ Catalyze a lysis of a subtrate, which is nonoxidative, nonhydrolytic and generates a double bond. ✦ For example • pyruvate decarboxylase ✦ pyruvate decarboxylase, 2-oxo-acid carboxy-lyase (EC 4.1.1.1) ✦ Distinguishing features: • Look for addition and elimination reactions involving the loss or formation of a double bond Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 17 Enzyme Classes 18 Isomerase (5.) ✦ Catalyze a conversion between two isomers. • Sometimes referred to as an rearrangement reaction. ✦ For example • alanine racemase ✦ alanine racemase (EC 5.1.1.1) ✦ Distinguishing features: • Look for reactions that have only a single substrate and a single product. Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 18 Enzyme Classes 19 Ligase (6.) ✦ Catalyze the ligation or joining of two molecules. • This reaction usually requires a source of chemical energy, which is often provided by the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi ✦ For example • glutamine synthetase ✦ L-glutamate:ammonia ligase (EC 6.3.1.2) ✦ Distinguishing features: • Look for a combination of two reactions Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 19 Enzyme Classes 20 ClickerQuestion: Question: O Which class does the enzyme that catalyzes the following reactionO H triosephosphate CH2 O P O C belong to?

A → B change in concentration of A or B Rate = v = change in time dB dA v = = − dt dt Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 22 Reaction Rates and Catalysts 23 Kinetics of non-catalyzed reactions ✦ Typically it is the substrate dependence of the initial rate, vo, that is determined. d[B] v = at t = 0 o dt [B] Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 23 Reaction Rates and Catalysts 24 The rate equation for this relationship can take on different forms with respect to the substrate or product concentrations, for example: d[B] d[A] v = = − = k [A]n dt dt 1 ✦ where k1 is the rate constant ✦ and n is the order of the reaction • n = 1, first order, • n = 2, second order • n = 0, zero order Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 24 Reaction Rates and Catalysts 25 Kinetics of non-catalyzed reactions ✦ For first-order reactions, vo is proportional to [A]. vo = k1[A] [A] ✦ In this case, k1 is called the first order rate constant and has dimension of s-1. Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 25 Reaction Rates and Catalysts 26 Kinetics of non-catalyzed reactions ✦ Deriving an expression that gives [A] as function of time for a first order reaction. d[A] − = k [A] ln([A]t) − ln([A]o) = − k1t dt 1 d[A] [A]t = − k1dt ln = − k1t [A] ( [A]o ) [A]t d[A] t = − k dt [A] = [A] e−k1t ∫ 1 ∫ t o [A]o [A] 0 Chem 352, Lecture 6 - Enzymes 26 Reaction Rates and Catalysts 27 Kinetics of non-catalyzed reactions ✦ For a second order reaction, vo has a quadratic dependence on [A]. A + A → C 2 vo = k1[A] or A + B → C vo = k1[A][B] • vo is the second order rate constant and has units of M-1s-1.
