DEFINITION OF ENZYME

Enzymes are biological

catalyst that direct or guide
almost all cellular reactions.

MECHANISM OF ENZME
ACTION

A specific substrate molecule

arrives at the active site of the
enzyme molecule.

MECHANISM OF ENZME
ACTION

The substrate molecule binds to

the active site to form an
enzyme-substrate complex
which is very unstable.

MECHANISM OF ENZME
ACTION
Product molecules leave the
active site of the enzyme.
The enzyme is free to take
another substrate molecule
into its active site to catalyse
another reaction.

MECHANISM OF ENZME
ACTION

Which substrate can bind to active site of enzyme sucrase?

Sucrose can bind to

active site of sucrase

Sucrose

Sucrase

Maltose

Maltose CANNOT bind

to active site of sucrase

Enzymes
have
specific
sites
called
active site
which bind
to specific
substrates

Which of the following shows the characteristic of

enzymes?
A. Enzyme reaction is specific
B. Enzyme reaction is influenced by pH
C. Enzyme reaction is influence by
temperature
D. The structure of the enzyme change at
the end of the reaction.

Question 4
Enzyme is used to wash away the blood
stain on a shirt.
Explain how the enzyme acts on the
blood stain at a maximum rate.
(3 MARKS)

ANSWER :
Blood is made up from proteins. Protease in detergent
will break down protein into amino acids. This reaction
occur effectively at 40 C which is optimum temperature
for enzyme action.
