Synthesis and breakdown…
Enzymes are involved in the following important reactions:
Carbohydrates Sugars
Proteins Aminoform
…or acids chemical bonds.
The
basic building blocks of carbohydrates are
monomers called monosaccharides.
These are simple sugars e.g. fructose/glucose.
Enzymes join monosaccharides together to form
disaccharides (2 monosaccharides) e.g. sucrose,
lactose and maltose.
Orlong chains of monosaccharides called
polysaccharides e.g glycogen and starch.
So how do enzymes work? ……………
The part of an enzyme where the reaction occurs
is known as the active site
Active site:
Enzyme
The molecule the enzyme acts on is known as the
substrate molecule
Substrate molecules
Active site:
The site on the
enzyme where the
reaction occurs
Enzyme
The molecule the enzyme produces is known as
the product molecule
Product molecules
Active site:
The site on the
enzyme where the
reaction occurs
Enzyme
Once the product has left the active site, the
enzyme can be re-used
Each enzyme is specific to one substrate molecule
or type of molecule
The lock and key hypothesis states that the enzyme’s active
site and the substrate have complementary shapes.
The substrate fits into the enzyme’s active site forming an
enzyme-substrate complex.
