Section 4.3 The Mechanism of an Enzyme Can Be Deduced from Structural, Kinetic, and Spectral Data Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. General Principles of Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions ▪ Enzymes bind to substrates using weak forces and orient them for chemistry to occur. → Entropy is lowered. ▪ Enzymes bind substrates using a large number of weak forces. This is sometimes referred to as electrostatic catalysis and is the sum total of the weak forces acting on the substrate to effect chemical change. ▪ In induced fit, the enzymes bind substrates that favor the transition state. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Types of Catalysis ▪ General acid–base catalysis • Amino acid side chains donate or accept protons. • Polar and charged amino acids play important roles. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Types of Catalysis ▪ Metal ion catalysis • Active site metal can act as a redox active center. • Metal ions are found in a third of all enzymes. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Types of Catalysis ▪ Covalent catalysis • Nucleophilic or electrophilic attack on an atom results in a covalent intermediate. • Involves Ser, Asp, Cys, Lys, Tyr, and several cofactors Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Lysozyme: An Example of Acid–Base Catalysis ▪ A natural antibiotic ▪ An enzyme found in tears and mucus ▪ A hydrolase that cleaves a link between carbohydrate chains found in the cell wall of bacteria. ▪ The active site contains two negatively charge residues ▪ Glutamic acid is protonated, whereas aspartate is not Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Anhydrase: An Example of Metal Ion Catalysis ▪ Found in erythrocytes. ▪ Catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid. ▪ Zn2+ is in the active site.

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Proteases Defined ▪ Proteases are enzymes that degrade proteins. ▪ Many proteases have a Trypsin fold = structure comprised of two β barrel domains, the active site being at the interface of the two. • Cleave peptide bonds • Some are specific. o Ser, Asp, and Cys proteases, metalloproteases • Important in protein maturation, blood clotting, and protein trafficking • Include chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Protease Examples Serine proteases, aspartyl proteases, metalloproteases, and cysteine proteases all employ similar chemistry: nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon. Note that these enzymes not only employ similar nucleophiles, they have a conserved topology and overall structure, although not necessarily the same amino acid sequence.

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Chymotrypsin Mechanism ▪ Nucleophilic attack Figure 4.17 Mechanism of chymotrypsin. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Affinity Labeling Defined ▪ Affinity labeling is a technique used to specifically label residues on the active site. ▪ Examples include: • Diisopropylfluroidate (DIPF)—serine active site • Tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) —histidine active site ▪ Labeling can be blocked by competitive inhibitors.

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Enzyme Regulation ▪ Activity can be regulated by altering gene expression ▪ Sequestration of the enzyme in one compartment of the cells or one organ ▪ Limit the access of the enzyme to the substrate ▪ Methods include: • Covalent modification and allosteric regulation Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Covalent Modification Defined ▪ Covalent modification is the covalent addition or removal of groups from proteins. ▪ Two common means of activation are proteolytic cleavage and phosphorylation. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Zymogens Defined ▪ Zymogens are inactive enzyme precursors that require proteolytic activation. ▪ Chymotrypsinogen is the inactive form of chymotrypsin. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Proteolytic Cleavage Defined ▪ Proteolytic cleavage is an example of enzyme activation. ▪ An inactive enzyme becomes active through cleavage.

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Src: An Example of Regulation via Phosphorylation Figure 4.22 Src is regulated by phosphorylation. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Allosteric Regulation ▪ Increases or decreases the enzymatic activity by binding at a site other than the active site ▪ Most rapid and most direct form of regulation ▪ Two states: Relaxed (R) and Tense (T) Figure 4.23 Allosteric regulation. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Allosteric Regulation Binding Curves ▪ Exhibit sigmoidal activity curves Figure 4.24 Allosteric enzymes have sigmoidal kinetics.
