1
Q

Explain why enzymes are called biological catalysts

A
  • Enzymes provide the necessary environment for chemical reactions to progress at a reasonably faster rate - Remained unchanged - Dependent on pH, temp, concentrations, polarity, etc - But in human body pH = 7.4, temp = 37C and aqueous environment -> So need enzymes! - Different steps but same substrates & ending products

Q

Distinguish between an uncatalyzed and a catalyzed reaction mechanistically

A

Uncatalyzed= slower or needed higher activation energy/different conditions Catalyzed = different steps but same product

Q

Describe the structural and functional significance of an enzyme active site

A

Active site: region where substrate fits into, binds and the chemistry happens (some require cofactors/coenzymes) Mediated by enzyme side chains

Q

Define cofactors and coenzymes; describe their roles in the active site of an enzyme

A

Apo enzyme - need a cofactor/enzyme Holoenzyme - enzyme with the cofactor/enzyme as a unit Cofactor: 1+ inorganic ions (1/3 of enzymes require metal ions for catalytic activity - Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Co) Coenzyme: organic of metallo-organic molecules that are carrier of specific functional groups (shuttles) **Both take part in substrate binding and/or in catalysis
