RIBOZYMES

Small ribonuclear particles. Contain rRNA. Highly substrate specific. Used in Intron splicing,pre RNA to RNA Peptidyl

Transferase. Many ribozymes have hair-pin or hammer head

shaped active centre &require Divalent Mg++ Catalyse reaction on phosphpdiester bonds of other

RNA

Ribozymes Have following Drawbacks. Not as efficient as protein catalysts( In RNA

there are 4 nucleotides, in amino acid are 20 in number.

Act once only in chemical event,protein enzymes are reused several times.

Rate of catalytic activity is slower. Synthatic Ribozymes are having better

catalytic activity(Cleave infectious Virus) Used in Gene therapy.

ABZYMES

Artificially synthasized catalytic antibodies against Enz. Sub. Complex in transition state of reaction. CATMAB (Catalytic Monoclonal Antibody).

Sometimes natural abzymes are found in blood,eg.antivasoactive intestinal peptide autoantibodies.

Useful in diseases viz.abzyme against gp120 envelop protein of HIV may prevent virus entry in to the host cell.

The Substrate

The substrate of an enzyme are the reactants that are activated by the enzyme

Enzymes are specific to their substrates The specificity is determined by the active

site

PRODUCT

Substrate in the presence of Enzyme is converted in to product.

The reaction can be Reversible or Ir-reversible.

The increase in product concentration can cause inhibition and stop the reaction in the forwaed direction.

The active site: Is a region within an

enzyme that fits the shape of molecules called substrates.

Contains amino acid R groups that align and bind the substrate.

Releases products when the reaction is complete.

Active Site

ACTIVE SITE

Generally the active site is situated on the cleft of the Enzyme.

Binding of substrate to active site dependends upon the presence of sp. Groups or atoms at active site.

During binding these groups,realign themselves so as to fit the substrate.

The substrate bind to active site by non co-valent bonds.(Hddrophobic in nature)

Amino acid that make or break bonds called catalytic group.

ACTIVE SITE

MECHANISM OF ACTION

INDUCE FIT MODEL.(KOSHLAND’S) LOCK AND KEY MODEL. (FISHER’S

TEMPLATE THEORY)

The Induced Fit Hypothesis Some proteins can change their shape

(conformation) When a substrate combines with an enzyme, it

induces a change in the enzyme’s conformation The active site is then moulded into a precise

conformation Making the chemical environment suitable for the

reaction The bonds of the substrate are stretched to make

the reaction easier (lowers activation energy)

© 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS

Induced-fit Model

In the induced-fit model of enzyme action: The active site is flexible, not rigid. The shapes of the enzyme, active site, and

substrate adjust to maximum the fit, which improves catalysis.

There is a greater range of substrate specificity.

The Lock and Key Hypothesis Fit between the substrate and the active site of the enzyme is

exact Like a key fits into a lock very precisely The key is analogous to the enzyme and the substrate

analogous to the lock. Temporary structure called the enzyme-substrate complex

formed Products have a different shape from the substrate Once formed, they are released from the active site Leaving it free to become attached to another substrate

© 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS

Lock-and-Key ModelIn the lock-and-key model of enzyme action: The active site has a rigid shape. Only substrates with the matching shape can fit. The substrate is a key that fits the lock of the

active site. Rigid structure could not explain flexibility

Substrate concentration: Non-enzymic reactions

The increase in velocity is proportional to the substrate concentration

Reaction velocity

Substrate concentration

Substrate Concentration

The rate of reaction increases as substrate concentration increases (at constant enzyme concentration).

Maximum activity occurs when the enzyme is saturated.

Substrate concentration: Enzymic reactionswhen[ s] conc. Is increased velocity increases in the initial phase (Vmax.),but flatten afterward.

Faster reaction but it reaches a saturation point when all the enzyme molecules are occupied.

If you alter the concentration of the enzyme then Vmax will change too.

Reaction velocity

Substrate concentration

Vmax

© 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS

Salient Features of Km

Km is sub. Conc.at ½ the max. velocity It denotes that 50% of Enzyme mol.are bound with sub.at

particular sub. Conc. Km is independent of Enzyme conc.If Enz. Conc. Is doubled, the

Vmax will be double but km will remain same. Km is signature of Enzyme. Affinity of Enz. Towards its substrate is inversely related to the

dissociation constant(smaller the dissociation greater the affinity. Km denotes affinity of enzme for substrate.lesser the Km more

the affinity.

Enzyme Concentration

The rate of reaction increases as enzyme concentration increases (at constant substrate concentration).

At higher enzyme concentrations, more substrate binds with enzyme.

End point reaction.

The effect of temperature

For most enzymes the optimum temperature is about 30°C

Many are a lot lower, cold water fish will die at 30°C because their enzymes denature

A few bacteria have enzymes that can withstand very high temperatures up to 100°C

Most enzymes however are fully denatured at 70°C

© 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS

Enzymes: Are most active at an

optimum temperature (usually 37°C in humans).

Show little activity at low temperatures.

Lose activity at high temperatures as denaturation occurs.

Temperature and Enzyme Action

The effect of temperature

Temperature / °C

Enzyme activity

0 10 20 30 40 50

Q10 Denaturation

The effect of temperature

Q10 (the temperature coefficient) = the increase in reaction rate with a 10°C rise in temperature.

For chemical reactions the Q10 = 2 to 3(the rate of the reaction doubles or triples with every 10°C rise in temperature)

Enzyme-controlled reactions follow this rule as they are chemical reactions

BUT at high temperatures proteins denature The optimum temperature for an enzyme controlled

reaction will be a balance between the Q10 and denaturation.

The effect of pH

Extreme pH levels will produce denaturation The structure of the enzyme is changed The active site is distorted and the substrate

molecules will no longer fit in it At pH values slightly different from the enzyme’s

optimum value, small changes in the charges of the enzyme and it’s substrate molecules will occur

This change in ionisation will affect the binding of the substrate with the active site.

Enzymes: Are most active at

optimum pH. Contain R groups of

amino acids with proper charges at optimum pH.

Lose activity in low or high pH as tertiary structure is disrupted.

pH and Enzyme Action

Optimum pH Values

Most enzymes of the body have an optimum pH of about 7.4.

In certain organs, enzymes operate at lower and higher optimum pH values.

ENZYME ACTIVATION BY INORGANIC IONS In the presence some inorganic ions some

enzymes show higher activity eg.Chloride ion activate salivary amylase,Ca. activates lipases.

Proenzymes in to enzymes. Coagulatio factors are seen in blood as

zymogen. Compliment cascade,these activities needed

occasionly.

EFFECT OF CONC.PRODUCT At Equilibrium as per law of mass action,the

reaction rate is slowed down,it can slow,stopped or reversed.

A—E1—B—E2—≠— C—E3—D.

Increase in conc. Of D will cause feed back Inhibition.

INDUCTION

Induction is effected through the process of derepression.

The inducer will relieve the repression on the operator site.

In the absence of glucose,the enzymes of Lactose metabolism will increase thousand times.

Insulin is Inducer of Hexokinase Enzyme. Barbiturates induce ALA Synthase.

REPRESSION

Inhibition and repression reduce the Enzyme Velocity.

In case of Inhibition the Inhibitor act directly on the Enzyme.

Repressor acts at the gene level,effect is noticed after a lag period of Hours or Days.

CO VALENT MODIFICATION Activity of Enzyme can be increased or

decreasd by co-valent modifications Eg.Either addition of group or Removal of group

Zymogen activation by partial proteolysis is an Eg. Of co-valent modification

ADP RIBOSYLATION

It is a type of co-valent modification. ADP-Ribose from NAD is added to enzyme/Protein. ADP Ribosylation of Alfa Sub unit of G Protein leads

to Inhibition of GTPase activity;hence G protein remains active.

Cholera toxin & Pertussive toxin act through ADP-Ribosylation.

ADP Ribosylation of Glyeraldehyde 3P-Dehydrosense,result in inhibition of glycolysis.

STABILIZATION

Enzyme molecules undergo usual wear & tear finally get degraded.Enzymes having thio (SH) groups eg Papian,Succinate dehydrogenase are stablized by glutathione. (G-SH).

Phosphofructokinase is stablized by growth hormone.

REGULATION OF ENZYMES ‘’The action of enzymes can be

activated or inhibited so that the rate of enzyme productin responds to the physiologcal need of the cell done to achieve cellular economy’’

1. Allosteric Regulation. 2. Activation of Latent Enzyme. 3. Comprtmentation of Enzymes of different

Pathways.

4. Control of Enzyme Synthesis.

5. Enzyme Degradation.

REGULATION OF ENZYMES Control of metabolic pathway occour through

modification of Enzyme activity. One or more key enzyme on the pathway. Can be

involved in regulation. One enzyme that regulate is called rate limiting

enzyme or key enzyme of that path –way.Usually this is first enzyme.

This enzymes activity change in quantity of enzyme present orIntrinsic catalytic efficiency of enz. Molecule.

CHANGE IN ENZYME QUANTITY Absolute Quantity of Enz.is determined by balance

(Rate of Synthesis&Degradation) Enzyme whose synthesis is increased by inducer

are called inducible enz.Eg. Tryptophan pyrolase,Tyrosine Transaminase and HMG co-A Reductase.

Enz. Whose conc. Always maintained at particular level,independent of Inducor are called constitutive enz. Eg. Hexokinase.

Sometimes accumulation of metabolite inhibit its own synthesis.These are called repressor.

CHANGE IN CATALYTIC EFFICIENCY OF ENZYME Catalytic effeciency is regulated is modulated by A. Allosteric Regulation. B. Covalent modification. A. ALLOSTERIC REGULATION: Here the site is

different from substrate binding site, this site is called ALLOSTERIC SITE.

Low molecular wt. substances bind at site other than catalytic site,these are called ALLOSTERIC MODULATORS.Location is called allosteric site.

A.Activator A.Inhibitor. Allosteric Activator. Hexokinase: ADP Isocit.Dehydr. ADP Glu.Dehy. ADP Pyruvate Carboxylase Acetyl CoA

Allosteric Inhibitor. Glucose-6-P,ATP Glucose-6-P,ATP ATP, NADH.

ADP

HOMOTROPIC EFFECT: If the effector Substace is substrate itself it is called

homotropic effect. HETEROTROPIC EFFECT: Effector molecule is a

substance other than substrate. SECOND MESSENGER:Binding of many

hormones to their surface receptor induce a change in enzyme catalysed reaction by inducing the release of allosteric effector.These effector substances are called as 2nd messenger

Hormone is first messenger. Cont……

Examples of Second messengers are cAMP,cGMP and calcium etc.

These can change the enzyme conformation that may alter either Km or Vmax.

Based on this effect they are classified in to two classes.

1.K-class:Alter Km not Vmax. 2.V-class:Alter Vmax not Km.

CONFERMATIONAL CHANGES IN ALLOSTERIC ENZYMES.

Most of Enzymes are oligomeric, binding of effector moecule at the allosteric site brings a chage in the active site of enzyme leading to inhibition or activation.

PARTIAL PROTEOLYSIS

Some enzymes are secreted as inactive precursors called Proenzymes or Zymogens.

This convertion takes place as a selective proteolysis.

It is ir-reversible process Pepsinogen to pepsin Trypsinogen to trypsin.

MICHAELIS CONSTANT (Km) It is defined as the conc. Of the

substrate at which the reaction velocity is half of the maximum velocity.

Km is independent of enzyme conc. If an enzyme has a small value of Km, it

achieves maximal catalytic efficency at low substrate conc.

SIGNIFICANCE Glucokinase has high Km is low affinity for

glucose

Hexokinase have low KM High affinity for Glucose ie glucose will provide to the vital organs even at low glucose levels.

Lab. Significance: The sub. Conc. Kept at saturation point at least 10 times the Km so that reaction proceeds to completion.

Clinical Significance: The Km value for the given enzyme may differ from person to person and explains various response to drugs/chemicals.

INHIBITORS

Inhibitors Inhibitors are chemicals that reduce the rate of

enzymic reactions. The are usually specific and they work at low

concentrations. They block the enzyme but they do not usually

destroy it. Many drugs and poisons are inhibitors of enzymes

in the nervous system.

© 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS

The effect of enzyme inhibition Irreversible inhibitors: Combine with the

functional groups of the amino acids in the active site, irreversibly

Examples: nerve gases and pesticides, containing organophosphorus, combine with serine residues in the enzyme acetylcholine esterase

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

The effect of enzyme inhibition Reversible inhibitors: These can be

washed out of the solution of enzyme by dialysis.

There are two categories

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

The effect of enzyme inhibition2. Non-competitive: These are not influenced by the

concentration of the substrate. It inhibits by binding irreversibly to the enzyme but not at the active site

Examples Cyanide combines with the Iron in the enzymes

cytochrome oxidase Heavy metals, Ag or Hg, combine with –SH groups.

These can be removed by using a chelating agent such as EDTA

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

Applications of inhibitors

Negative feedback: end point or end product inhibition

Poisons snake bite, plant alkaloids and nerve gases

Medicine antibiotics, sulphonamides, sedatives and stimulants

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

Cell processes (e.g. respiration or photosynthesis) consist of series of pathways controlled by enzymes

A B C D E F

Enzyme pathways

eFeDeCeAeB

Each step is controlled by a different enzyme (eA, eB, eC etc)

This is possible because of enzyme specificity

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

End point inhibition

The first step (controlled by eA) is often controlled by the end product (F)

Therefore negative feedback is possible

A B C D E F

The end products are controlling their own rate of production

There is no build up of intermediates (B, C, D and E)

ATP is the end point

This reaction lies near the beginning of the respiration pathway in cells

The end product of respiration is ATP If there is a lot of ATP in the cell this enzyme

is inhibited Respiration slows down and less ATP is

produced As ATP is used up the inhibition stops and

the reaction speeds up again

A change in shape

When the inhibitor is present it fits into its site and there is a conformational change in the enzyme molecule

The enzyme’s molecular shape changes The active site of the substrate changes The substrate cannot bind with the substrate

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

Negative feedback is achieved The reaction slows down This is not competitive inhibition but it is

reversible When the inhibitor concentration diminishes

the enzyme’s conformation changes back to its active form

© 2008 Paul Billiet ODWS

Phosphofructokinase The respiration pathway accelerates and

ATP (the final product) builds up in the cell As the ATP increases, more and more ATP

fits into the allosteric site of the phosphofructokinase molecules

The enzyme’s conformation changes again and stops accepting substrate molecules in the active site

Respiration slows down

The effect of enzyme inhibition Irreversible inhibitors: Combine

with the functional groups of the amino acids in the active site, irreversibly.

Examples: nerve gases and pesticides, containing organophosphorus, combine with serine residues in the enzyme acetylcholine esterase.

The effect of enzyme inhibition Reversible inhibitors: These can be

washed out of the solution of enzyme by dialysis.

There are two categories.

ISOENZYMES Isoenzymes or Isozymes are physically distinct

form of same enzyme having same specificity, but are present in different tissues of same organism, in different cell compartment.

Useful for diagnosing diseases of different organs.

Homomultimer:All the units are same. Heteromultimer:Sub units are different.These

are produced by different genes.

IDENTIFICATION OF ISOZYMES 1.Agar gel or PAGE.They have different mobility.

2.Heat stability. 3.Inhibitors.Isozymes may be sensative to different

inhibitors.eg.tartrate labile. 4. Km value or substrate specificity. Eg.Glucokinase

has high Km and Hexokinase has low Km for Glucose. 5.Co-Factors.Eg Mitochondrial isocitrate

dehydrogenase is NAD dependent,Cytoplasmic NADP dependent.

6.Localisation:H4 heart,M4 Muscles. 7.Specific antibodies identify sp.Isozyme.
