Enzyme catalysis
Enzyme catalysis is the catalysis of
chemical reactions by specialized proteins
known as enzymes
By providing an alternative reaction route and
by stabilizing intermediates the enzyme
reduces the energy required to reach the
highest energy transition state of the reaction
The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in
principle to other types of chemical catalysis.
Mechanisms of
catalysis
•Enzymes are very specific. Each enzyme will
catalyze only one type of reactions and often will
only work with a specific substrate.
Electrostatic catalysis
Acid-base catalysis
Covalent catalysis
Metal ion catalysis
The Active Site
 Enzymes are typically HUGE proteins, yet only a small
part are actually involved in reaction.
The active site has two
basic components.
catalytic site
binding site
Model of
trios-p-isomerase

The Active Site
Lock and Key Theory
Enzyme is “lock” and Substrate is the “key”.
Substrate structure must fit into enzyme’s structure.
Induced Fit Theory
Active site may not fit substrate.
Site must change in order to form the complex.
Enzymes have optimal operating temperatures and pHs.
These graphs show how enzyme catalysis is affected by
changes in temperature and pH for enzymes that operate
most effectively at physiological conditions.

Biocatalysis in organic solvents
•Systems with organic solvents
•Water and a water miscible
organic solvent
•Two-phase systems
•PEG-modified enzymes in
organic solvents
•Reversed micelles
•Monophasic organic solvents
EFFECT OF ORGANIC SOLVENT ON ENZYME CATALYSIS
Effects on enzyme stability
Hydrophobic solvent: small redistribution of water: conservation of
native protein structure
Polar solvent: stronger effect
Interaction of solvent with protein surface
Strip tightly bound water
Destruction of hydrogen bond network
Lowering of surface tension
Onset of protein unfolding
Extreme thermostability in inert solvents Fewer side reactions
(hydrolysis)
Conformational rigidity in dehydrated state
Ex.Chymotrypsin,
Water-water miscible organic solvents
Polar solvents
Reactant, inhibitor, increase of flexibility (rate)
Operational stability
Change in product pattern
Substrate solubility
Presence of organic solvent can have a
large effect on substrate solubility
A substrate with a low affinity for solvent
binds strongly to the enzyme
Polar substrates have high Km in polar
solvent
Two-phase systems
About equal volumes of an aqueous solution and an immiscible
organic solvent
Catalysis takes place in the aqueous phase or at the interface
[S] low, limits rate of catalysis
Traces of solvent can influence activity and stability
Enzyme recovery is difficult
PEG-modified enzymes
Modification of lysine residues with PEG molecules of different size
Synthesis of organic solvent soluble enzymes
10 - 20 PEG chains per enzyme molecule
Increase in molecular mass
Protects enzyme from surrounding organic solvent and prevents
stripping of essential water
High enzymatic activity with water immiscible solvents
Reversed micelles
Effects on enzyme stability
- dependent on protein properties
low water content increases stability
Effects on enzyme activity
Water content too low
pH different from stock buffer
solution due to binding of protons or
hydroxyl groups with surfactant head
groups
Effects on enzyme kinetics
effects substrates
Increase in apparent Km
Effect of solvent on the water associated with the
enzyme
water-stripping in the hydrophilic solvents
Since enzyme and solvent compete for water, optimal water
content is related to the amount of enzyme and the
concentration of substrate
hydrophilization of enzyme surface minimize removal of
the H2O from enzyme
Effect of solvent on the enzyme
Protein dynamics
Protein conformation
Enzyme active center
Effect of solvent on substrates and products
•change the conce. of substrates or products in the
aqueous layer around enzyme
Effect of substrate solvation on kinetics
increase Km app in organic solvent
solvent affects enzyme activity and specificity by altering the
partitioning of substrates and products
CONCLUSION
The technological utility of enzymes can be enhanced greatly by using them
in organic solvents rather than in their natural aqueous reaction media.
Strong acids and bases, organic solvents, mechanical
action, and high temperature decrease an enzyme-
catalyzed rate of reaction. Even slight changes in the pH
can have profound effects on enzyme catalysis

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Catalytic site = Where the reaction actually occurs. Binding site = Area that holds substrate in proper place. Enzymes uses weak, non-covalent interactions to hold the substrate in place based on R groups of amino acids. Shape is complementary to the substrate and determines the specificity of the enzyme. Sites are pockets or clefts on the enzyme surface.
  2. As the conformation of the enzyme changes in response to the binding substrate, a strain is induced in the substrate. This strain makes it less stable and thereby reduces the energy of activation required for conversion of substrate to product.
