Enzymes: Enzymes: Proteins that are used for chemical reactions

• Enzymes can either break up or put together substrates

• Enzymes are specific – only work on certain substances.

• Enzymes are catalysts that react on substrates

• Enzymes are NOT CHANGED in the reaction

Definitions:Definitions:

ProteinsProteins: Biochemical : Biochemical compounds (macromolecules) compounds (macromolecules) made up of long polymer chains made up of long polymer chains of amino acids linked togetherof amino acids linked together

CatalystCatalyst: A substance that : A substance that causes a reaction to occur but causes a reaction to occur but does not get changed itselfdoes not get changed itself

Lactose is a 2-unit sugar. Lactase breaks it into 2 individual sugars: glucose and galactose.Can it break down sucrose as well? Why or why not?
