1.1 General introduction
72
Enzymes today need no introduction. They are well recognized and acknowledged
25
in every walk of life from a layman to a research person entangled in molecular
biology protocols. These magical molecules have proved to be an efficient tool in
qq
almost all industries directly or indirectly.
The term “Enzyme” was proposed by Wilhelm Kuhne, which in Greek means
的
“leavened” or “in yeast” in 1877. Enzymes have gained recognition as a Biological
catalyst, which is generally proteins with the exceptions of ribozymes. The nature
有
and activity of any enzyme depend upon the sequence of amino acids of the polymer.
没
The enzymes can be active as a single chain (monomeric protein) or can have a num-
ber of polymeric chains in form of a functional complex (oligomeric protein). The
ib
depends on the amino acid sequence (Berg et al., 2002). The structure of any enzyme

1.2.1 Enzyme as a molecule
05
Enzymes are macromolecules having a high molecular weight (MW) and are dispro-
portionately bigger when compared to their substrate. Generally, the MW of en-
48
zymes covers a broad range. The general properties in relation to its functions are
72
explained in Fig. 1.2.
Dixon and Web (1958) tabulated enzymes in three series or classes (2n 12,000,
25
2n 16,000, and 2n 19,000), where n is integral 0e4. A hypothesis was proposed
qq
by Wright (1962) using experimental data but as the groups of enzymes were
formed, there remained a question of Biasedness. Johnston et al. (1945) proposed
a better approach of the correlation function for validation of the Svedberg hypoth-
的
esis (Svedberg and Pedersen, 1940). The MW of proteins is calculated by Svedberg’s
有
equation depending on the force applied and the mass of the sedimenting molecule.

Properties and functions of enzymes.
1.2 Characteristics of enzymes 5
The sedimentation velocity was fundamentally used for the determination of molec-
ular weights of proteins. Presently, an approach using Gel filtration Chromatography
and SDS-PAGE are the advanced methods for the MW determination.
As we all know that most enzymes are proteins, their general behavior is
colloidal as an attribute of their high molecular weight. Enzymes that are proteina-
ceous are thermolabile in nature. Generally, enzymes are active at room temperature,
at low temperatures they are reversibly inhibited, and at higher temperatures they are
irreversibly inactivated.
50
Although, this temperature sensitivity can be handled, if enzymes are stored in
the form of dried extracts. The stability of the enzymes increases along with
05
increased shelf life. Every enzyme requires amicable pH and temperature conditions
48
to explicit its highest activity referred as optimum pH and temperature. In zones
before and after the optimum zone, the enzyme activity decreases. Fig. 1.3 explains
72
the maximum enzyme activity in response to optimum pH and temperature
25
conditions.
qq
1.2.2 Catalytical property
的
A most striking feature of the enzyme is its catalytic power that makes it a robust
synthetic tool. In comparison to chemical catalysts, enzymes are wonderful because
有
they catalyze the transformation of substrates at normal temperature and pressure
没
available inside the biological system. Enzyme caters high potential of substrate
conversion as compared to reactions that run by themselves. It remains unaltered af-
ib
ter the reaction is complete, providing the alternative of its recycling for better yield.

1.2.4 Holoenzyme
找
Many enzymes have a nonprotein part along with them. Such conjugated enzymes
代
found associated with another kind of molecules are called the holoenzyme. The
protein component is called as the apoenzyme, and the nonprotein component is
called the cofactor. If the cofactor is inorganic in nature, it is referred as prosthetic
group and if it is organic in nature, it is called as coenzyme. The prosthetic groups
are intensely associated with the apoenzyme and are not easily available. Contrarily,
the coenzymes are very loosely bound resulting in easy separation from the protein
component.
The cofactor is a helper micromolecule that confers enzyme, its functionality.
The nonprotein nature makes it thermostable. The main role of cofactor is it
1.2 Characteristics of enzymes 7
becomes a significant part in the reaction center of the enzyme for catalysis
involving the removal of functional groups. Cofactors have the ability to get associ-
ated with other enzymes and help their functionality after association.
50
of substrate molecules converted into the product in a given specified time. Turnover
number is therefore defined as the amount of substrate converted into the product in
05
1 s, in the given specified condition (where the concentration of substrate is in satu-
ration). Enzymes exhibit a wide variety of turnover numbers ranging from 0.5 to 105.
48
72
1.2.6 Reversibility
25
When we focus on catalyzed reactions, the enzyme catalyzed reactions differ from
qq
the chemical catalyst in a way that it functions according to the need of the biolog-
ical system. The nature of the enzyme varies in accordance with the role it is
executing in the metabolism. Therefore, enzyme-catalyzed reactions include unidi-
的
rectional, bidirectional types, and even eegulatory reactions.

Most of the enzymes range between 20 kD and 60,000 kD molecular weight. The 3-
zl
the enzyme revealed the large size of the enzyme offers a large surface area of the
子
Candida lipolytica and Bacillus stearothermophilus with 5.7 kDa (56 amino acid
逊
residue) and the Bacillus enzyme is 1.57 kDa (17 amino acids) (Mattey et al.,
马
1998). The highest MW enzymes reported are from Y. lipolytica with a molecular
weight of 120 kDa, the 90 kDa leucine aminopeptidase II from Aspergillus oryzae
亚
et al., 2002).
代
1.2.8 Sensitivity
Yet another feature of enzymes is that they are very sensitive to the environment in
which they are present. The environmental conditions impose tremendous influence
on the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme molecule and hence affect its ac-
tivity and catalytic power to the extent whether it will remain in active state or be
inactive.
The pH, temperature, and concentration of ions are few factors that impede the
biological functioning of the molecule. These consequences are due to the
8 CHAPTER 1 Enzymes—past, present, and future
disturbance of some vital bonds required for the architectural makeup of the cata-
lytic site or the active site of the enzyme, rendering it inactive or denatured. Every
enzyme has a unique sense of tolerance toward a particular limit of pH and temper-
ature or concentration of ions. The tolerance capacity of enzymes is naturally
inherited by the enzyme from the environment it belongs.
50
Most of the enzymes are high molecular weight molecules, and the majority of their
monomeric amino acids are for maintaining their three-dimensional conformation.
05
They play a structural role. The functional role is played by few amino acids which
48
participate in the catalytically active center.
The three-dimensional conformation creates events or crevices that are narrow
72
and stereospecific for the substrate. The dimensional congruence of the active site
25
and the substrate structure is the foundation for the wonderful specificity phenomena
observed between the enzyme and the substrate. Although the substrate-binding site
qq
and the catalytic centers are different, they reside close to one another inside the
microcatalytic environment of the enzyme molecule. The regulatory enzymes
的
possess an additional site for binding of the modulator molecule to execute positive
or negative regulatory response as the case may be.

The first number signifies to which class the enzyme belongs to, for example, EC
1, it denotes the enzyme is oxido-reductases. EC 1 denotes that all the enzymes clas-
马
sified in this class will catalyze the reactions of either oxidation or reduction. Ta-
亚
ble 1.4 helps us to understand the major classes and their subclasses under the
IUB system of nomenclature. The classes are further divided into subclasses that
找
have a differentiating feature like the type of substrate or the type of product or
代
and their support system for cellular metabolism has been fully revealed. Presently,
an upcoming field of enzymology is the intense analysis of pseudo enzymes. This
branch recognizes enzymes that were catalytic in the past, but, in the process of evo-
lution, these proteins have lost their catalytic ability. Active sites and their amino
acid sequence signify their past involvement in catalysis.
Ribozymes are another type of enzyme molecule that has an immense potential
to be explored currently. The enzymes are commercially used for the synthesis of
industrially important products proven to have economic value due to their extreme
50
application in normal human life. Already, enzymes are in the market proving as an
excellent aid for the synthesis of commercial products like antibiotics, medicines, in
05
bakery for hydrolysis, tenderization of meat.

1.5.1 Substrate binding
72
The substrate-binding site is a site that is near the active center of the enzyme where
25
the actual catalysis takes place. The common step for initiation of catalysis reaction
qq
is that the substrate must bind to the enzyme. The specificity of binding to a partic-
ular substrate is exerted by the enzyme as an attribute of the complementary shape,
the charge, the hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions between the substrate, and
的
the enzyme amino acids present in the catalytic in its catalytic center.
有
Specificity is finely demonstrated by the replicating enzymes as well as the
没
proofreading enzymes inside the cell as they cannot afford to cause a single mistake
during the process that they catalyze. The minimal error that is registered by these

enzymes comes to a rate of less than 1 error in 100 million reaction polymerase. The

A normal enzyme catalyzed reaction occurs in two steps. In the initial step, the sub-
代
strate binds to the enzyme and forms an intermediate that is stable and is called as an
enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme and substrate are specific, then the second
part of the reaction proceeds in which the product is formed and the enzyme is liber-
ated unaltered.
The first step is a reversible reaction and if the substrate is not specific, the
enzyme and the substrate break off back into free enzyme and substrate. If the spec-
ificity is between the enzyme and the substrate that it proceeds in the forward reac-
tion where the product is formed. The second step is an irreversible step, leading to
product formation.

by Miller Fisher (1894). In this model, he proposed that the enzyme is a type of lock

and the substrate is a type of key. The specificity that exists between the lock and the

key correlates with the specificity of the enzyme and the substrate. As a particular
key is meant to open for a specific lock, the same relationship exists between the

enzyme and the substrate. This model was successful in explaining the specificity

existing between the enzyme and the substrate but it proposed the enzyme as a rigid
molecule and therefore could not have the explanation of the transition state that

Work on the great undertaking was begun promptly, and had made
great progress within the first twelve months.
An Act for the regulation of the liquor traffic, which was and
is the subject of much controversy, was passed in March, 1896,
by the Legislature of the State of New York. From its author,
Senator John Raines, it has borne the name of the Raines Law.
It heavily increased the tax on the selling of liquor, raising
it to $800 on common "saloons" in the city of New York; to $650
in Brooklyn; to $500 in other cities having more than 50,000
and not more than 500,000 inhabitants; and to rates in lesser
cities and towns which ranged from 8100 to $350. It forbade
the licensing of any liquor shop within 200 feet of a
schoolhouse or a church, and also forbade the opening of any
new shop of that character in a residence district without
consent of two-thirds of the property owners. It prohibited
the sale of liquor on Sundays, except in hotels and clubs; but
this provision furnished a means of evasion which was speedily
brought into use. "Raines hotels" and "Raines Clubs," as they
were called, sprang into existence everywhere, sufficiently
answering the requirements of the law to escape its penalties.
These and other defects were considerably remedied by
amendments of the Act in April, 1897. It survived a powerful
attack in the Legislature at that time, the whole strength of
the leading cities in the State being brought against the law.
The country districts were generally united in supporting it,
partly on principle, and partly because of the extent to which
it lightened the burdens of taxation. By apportioning
two-thirds of the enormous revenue raised under the Act to the
towns, counties and cities in which it is collected, and
one-third to the state treasury, the Raines Law fortified
itself strongly in more than the moral sentiment of the
people. Under the Raines Law all local excise boards are
abolished, and the whole licensing and regulating of the
liquor traffic is placed under the supervision of a State
commissioner.

Within a few days, the desired bill was passed by both Houses
of the Legislature, signed by the Governor and became a law.
The public franchises to which it relates are defined in its
first section, as follows:

"As far as I can make out, too, without visiting the country,
there is as yet no sign of reaction against this minute
paternal care of the laborer. The tendency to use the powers
of the government chiefly for the promotion of the comfort of
the working classes, whether in the matter of land settlement,
education, or employment, seems to undergo no diminution. The
only thing which has ceased, or slackened, is the borrowing of
money for improvements. The results of this borrowing have
been so disastrous that the present generation, at least, will
hardly try that experiment again."
