Enzyme catalyzed reactions display saturation kinetics with respect to reactant concentration
Important things to remember about enzymes just like other catalysts
1. Enzymes are not consumed or altered by the reaction they catalyze.
? Just as a construction worker can take being physically changed by the proc them into products without being physic
1. Higher reaction rates: The rates of enzym
processes are accele8-r1 1 a. 00 ted by a Example1: carbonic anhydrase catalyzes: CO2 +H2O? H2CO3 nonenzymatic rate constant = 1.3 x 10-1 s-1 enzymatic rate constant = 1 x 106 s-1 (x 7.7 x 106) Example2: Staphylococcal nuclease catalyzes nucleic acid hydrolysis nonenzymatic rate constant = 1.7 x 10-13 s-1 enzymatic rate constant = 95 s-1 (x 5.6 x 1014)
? At equilibrium, the ratio of substrate whether an enzyme catalyst is present. of reactants to products is not altered is achieved is increased.
General Properties of Enzymes
2. Enzymes catalyze both the forward and the reverse reaction.
? This is an important podientt. ermiAnne ewnhziycmhe the reaction goes, it only increases t equilibrium.
Chemical nature of enzymes
? All enzymes are proteins exce proteins are enzymes
? It was assumed that all enzyme when Thomas Cech and Sydney Al catalytic RNAs (Nobel prize in
Enzyme catalyzed reactions are much faster than uncatalyzed reactions

Enzymes catalyze the conversion of substrates into roducts
?What is a substrate? A substrate is the compound product in an enzyme cata For the reaction catalyze phosphate is the substrate.
