SECTION C

Case Q:41 to 44
Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.
The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates
into different molecules known as products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzyme
catalysis in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life.  Metabolic pathways depend upon enzymes to
catalyze individual steps. The study of enzymes is called enzymology and a new field of pseudoenzyme
analysis has recently grown up, recognising that during evolution, some enzymes have lost the ability to carry
out biological catalysis, which is often reflected in their amino acid sequences and unusual 'pseudocatalytic'
properties.
Enzymes are known to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Other biocatalysts are catalytic
RNA molecules, called ribozymes. Enzymes' specificity comes from their unique three-dimensional structures.
Like all catalysts, enzymes increase the reaction rate by lowering its activation energy. Some enzymes can
make their conversion of substrate to product occur many millions of times faster. An extreme example
is orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase, which allows a reaction that would otherwise take millions of years
to occur in milliseconds. Chemically, enzymes are like any catalyst and are not consumed in chemical reactions,
nor do they alter the equilibrium of a reaction. Enzymes differ from most other catalysts by being much more
specific. Enzyme activity can be affected by other molecules: inhibitors are molecules that decrease enzyme
activity, and activators are molecules that increase activity. Many therapeutic drugs and poisons are enzyme
inhibitors. An enzyme's activity decreases markedly outside its optimal temperature and pH, and many
enzymes are (permanently) denatured when exposed to excessive heat, losing their structure and catalytic
properties.
Some enzymes are used commercially, for example, in the synthesis of antibiotics. Some household products
use enzymes to speed up chemical reactions: enzymes in biological washing powders break down protein,
starch or fat stains on clothes, and enzymes in meat tenderizer break down proteins into smaller molecules,
making the meat easier to chew.
