Ch:6
Enzymes
Energy Diagrams
Show the progression of a reaction
Transitions State
High energy and unstable state when the molecule is best able to under go a reaction. It is the state when bonds simuntaneouslybeing broken and formed
SN2
single step reaction where atticking nucleophile and the displacement of leaving group occur simuntaneously, only has transition state
SN1
2 step reaction where nucleophile is add which forms and intermediate. Then the leaving group leaves forming the final product
Intermediate
Occurs in the trough between 2 transition states. It is more stable than the transition states
Rate determining step
The formation of the first transition state determines the rate of the reaction
Proximity Effect
The proper positioning and configuration of 2 reacting groups in the active site of an enzyme.
What the Proximity Effect does
It increases the rate of acceleration in a reaction by reducing their degree of freedom which produces a large loss of entropy. It also enhances the relative concentration of reacting groups, this is called the effective molarity
Transition State Stabilization
One of the major factors that lower the activation energy. After a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme distorts the structure of the substrate, forcing it towards the transition state
Enzyme Active Site
Region of the enzyme that the substrate binds. It is hydrophobic. When substrates bind to the enzyme they lose entrophy, making propability for a reaction higher
2 Types of Chemical Modes of Enzyme Catalysis
Acid-Base Catalysis
Covalent Catalysis
Acid-Base Catalysis
Acceleration of a reaction by transfer of a proton. Bases act as proton acceptors and produce a nucleophilic reactant. Acids act as proton donators and can make covalent bonds easier to break
Covalent Catalysis
Part or all of the Substrate forms a covalent bond with the Enzyme forming a reactive intermedatite and then covalently bonds to the second Substrate
pH Optimun Curve
The effect of pH on the reaction rate can suggest which ionizable residues are in the active site. At the pH Optimun, the midway between 2 pKa values, the greatest number of enzyme molecules are in the active form.
Bell Shape Curve
Results from 2 overlapping titrations. Ascending is deprotonation and decending is protonation of active site Amino Acid residues
Diffusion Controlled Reactions
Fastest reactions. Rates approch rate of diffusion. The speed of binding substrates to the enzyme may be rate-determing which is a rapid reaction
Energy Diagram for TPI Reaction
Becasue peaks are relativly even the catalyst is at max efficiency
Thermodynamic Pit
Caused by excessive ES stabilization, E binding to S too tightly, and gives little to no catalysis. Km values indicate weak binding to enzymes and can not be extreamly low or the binding of ES will be too tight

Transititon State Analogs
Chemical analogs of transititon states are enzyme inhibitors. They are stable compounds whose structure resemble unstable transititon states and they bind tightly to the Enzyme which is why it is an inhibitor
Lock-and-Key
Proposed by Emil Fisher. Enzymes (locks) are rigid templates that only accept certain transition states (key). The transition state must be stabilized for the catalysis to occur
Induced Fit
Activates an enzyme by substrate-initiated conformation effect. It is a substrate specificity effect. After binding the enzyme undergos a shape alteration. Changes from inactive to active form.
3 Digestive Serine Proteases
Trypsin, Chemotrysin and Elastase. These are synthesized and stored in pancrease
