reaction “can” go
spontaneous
But when will it go?
And at what rate?
Thermodynamics
Whether a reaction will occur
Kinetics
WHEN a reaction will occur
What governs WHEN a reaction will occur?
The tower of blocks falling is favorable
but when will it happen?
Oxidation of carbohydrate polymers (starch)
to carbon dioxide and water is favorable
but when will it happen?
Gasoline burning to carbon dioxide and water
is favorable
but when will it happen ?
For a Reaction to occur need to Destabilize Existing State
to INPUT ENERGY

What does activation energy represent?
For a Reaction to Occur…
- reactants must find each other,
- meet in proper orientation
- and hit with sufficient force
Productive
Collision
Many
Non-productive
Collisions
Needs of Typical
chemical reactions
- need large number of molecular collisions
- need collide violently enough to
break pre-existing bonds (not bounce)
- need high concentration to find each
other at significant rate

ENZYMES make reactions
easier to occur at
reasonable temperature
by
LOWERING the

CATALYSTS:
promote a specific reaction
But are NOT consumed in the process
Key concepts:
Promotes
- does not alter what would normally
occur thermodynamically
Specificity
- promotes only one reaction, only
between specific reactants to give specific products
Reusable
- regenerated in the process
ENZYMES are biological CATALYSTS
- usually PROTEINS
- sometimes RNA or
RNA/protein complexes
Enzymes work as catalysts
by providing an easy path to the same point

HOW?
How do Enzymes do it?
1. Enzymes have BINDING AFFINITY
for their reactants = Substrates
Brings substrates in close proximity: conc
Stabilized Interactions
Charged
Nonpolar

3. Enzymes cause BOND STRAIN
- destabilize existing bonds
“nutcracker effect”
3a. Physical Strain
3b.Chemical Strain
The active site
– Is the region on the enzyme where the
substrate binds

3a. Physical bond strain
Draw an quarter - an anvil
• The catalytic cycle of an enzyme
1 Substrates enter active site; enzyme
changes shape so its active site
embraces the substrates (induced fit).
Substrates
Enzyme-substrate
complex
6 Active site
Is available for
two new substrate

Released.

Products
2 Substrates held in
active site by weak
interactions, such as
hydrogen bonds and
ionic bonds.
3 Active site (and R groups of
its amino acids) can lower EA
and speed up a reaction by
• acting as a template for
substrate orientation,
• stressing the substrates
and stabilizing the
transition state,
• providing a favorable
microenvironment,
• participating directly in the
catalytic reaction.
4 Substrates are
Converted into
Products.
3b. Chemical Bond Strain
tease the bond to fall apart
Chemical Bond Strain
Stabilize a
Fictitious
state
Cofactors
Non-polypeptide things at the active site
that help enzymes do their job
• Cofactors
– Are nonprotein enzyme helpers, eg Zn++
• Coenzymes
– Are organic cofactors
4. Enzymes “partake” in reactions
but are not consumed in them
Converts MANY “A’s” into “B’s”

Partakes: but start and end with the same enzyme config
Lysozyme
Lysozyme: kills bacteria
Works at pH 4-5 Why?
SUMMARY
Enzymes:
1. Bring reactants (substrates) in close proximity
2. Align substrates in proper orientation
3. Can act as a Lever: a press or an anvil
small shape change translates to large force
4. Release products when reaction done
rebind more substrates
5. Many small steps, each easily achieved
rather than one huge leap
Enzymes carry out reactions in a series of
small steps rather than one energetic event
No Problem
Dude
You expect
me to
JUMP this?
Reaction rates:
Example: H2O2-> H2O +O2
uncatalyzed –months
Fe+++ 30,000x faster
Catalase 100,000,000 x faster
Enzyme kinetics- kinetikos – moving
An enzyme catalyzed rxn
Can be “saturated”
Vmax
maximum velocity
Rate
or
velocity
1/2 Vmax
# made
per min
Km
Substrate Conc
“substrate affinity”
The lower the Km the better
the enzyme recognizes substrate
“finds it at low conc”
“mpg”
The higher the Vmax the more
substrate an enzyme can
process per min
(if substrate around)
“top speed”

dissociate when at low concentrations. The enzyme can then oscillate again.
