Introduction to Enzymes Flashcards
Biologic protein that catalyze biochemical reaction
Enzyme
Enzyme decreases or increases velocity in the reaction?
Increases
Enzyme only acts as ______; since it ______
participant; not consumed, nor change reaction
Majority of the enzymes are located ____
Intracellularly
Functions of Enzyme
- Hydration of Carbon Dioxide (respiration)
- Nerve Induction
- Muscle contraction (locomotion)
- Growth and Reproduction
- Energy storage and use
it is readily available in the presence of enzyme
Heat
Components of Enzyme
Active Site
Allosteric Site
binding site of substrate
Active site
binds regulatory/effector molecules
Allosteric Site
binding of active and substrate is
HIGHLY SPECIFIC
Substance that ACTED UPON enzymes
Substrate
Lactose metabolism is accelerated due to
Lactase
Nonprotein portion of enzyme
Cofactor
3 types of Cofactor
- Coenzyme
- Activator
- Isoenzyme
Acts as second substrate
Coenzyme
Coenzyme is ORGANIC OR INORGANIC cofactor?
Organic
Example of Coenzymes
NAD
Nonmetallic or Metallic cofactor
Activator
Non metallic Activator are
Bromide
Chloride
Metallic Activator are
MICZ
Magnesium
Iron
Calcium
Zinc
Cofactor that has same enzymatic activity but differs in PHYSICAL, BIOCHEMICAL, IMMUNOLOGIC characteristics
Isoenzyme
Example of Isoenzyme
CK Isoenzyme

Specific serial number of Enzyme
Enzyme Classes are the ff:
Oxidoreductase
Transferase
Hydrolase
Lyases
Isomerase
Ligases
Enzyme class that catalyzes the transfer of charged ions
Oxidoreductase
Redox reaction between 2 substrate
Oxidoreductase
Examples of Oxidoreductase enzyme:
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Glucose Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G-6-PD)
Transfer of specific particular group other than hydrogen ion
Transferase
A- + B = A + B-
Oxidoreductase
A-X + B = A + B-X
Transferase
Transferase Enzymes are
Alanine Amino Transferase
Aspartate Amino Transferase
Gamma Glutamyl Transferase
Kinase (Creatine Kinase, Phosphokinase)
catalyze hydrolysis of various chemical bonds
Hydrolase
Hydrolase enzymes are
Amylase (glycosidic)
Lipase (Ester bond)
Phosphatase (monophosphoester bond)
- Acid Phosphatase
- Alkaline Phosphatase
catalyzes the removal of a particular chemical group from substrate w/o hydrolysis/water
Lyases
does lyases retain the double bond of an enzyme
Yes
A-B + H2O = A-OH + B-H
Hydrolysis
