Catalysis The process of
speeding up a reaction – how? Lowers the
activation energy Works on both
exergonic and endergonic

Enzymes (a type of protein) Quick Review
Protein is a polypeptide chain of amino acids folded into a shape
Shape provides function
Enzymes subject to denaturation
(unfolding)

If denatures (unfolds), then loses shape and loses function (loses site to bind)

How Enzymes Work Enzyme binds to substrate (“special” name
for reactants that are catalyzed) Fit together like “lock and key”(shape determines…)
May cause an “induced fit” – enzyme changes shape to better “hug” substrate Enzyme will push/pull on substrate(s) to weaken
bond (more likely to break) or make bond more likely to form Lowers activation energy by making it more
physically likely for reaction to occur… Active Site: area on enzyme (space or
groove) where substrate binds to
The reactants an enzyme binds with are called
A. proteins
B. Substrates
