Differentiate between cofactors, coenzymes, and isozymes. 2. Explain the process of substrate molecules being enzymatically transformed into products (including transition state complex and activation energy) and illustrate the process on an energy diagram. 3. Describe lock and key and induced fit.  Cofactors vs Coenzymes Cofactor – a component other than the protein portion of an enzyme (i.e. metal ions/minerals, vitamins, GSH, ATP, CoQ, etc.) Coenzyme – organic cofactor that is loosely bound to the apoenzyme and can be easily separated from it (i.e. most vitamins) Prosthetic group – cofactor that is tightly bound to the apoenzyme (i.e. many minerals)  Isozymes Enzymes that differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same chemical reaction May have different kinetic parameters, expressed in different tissues, and/or regulated differently Permits the fine-tuning of metabolism to meet the particular needs of a given tissue or developmental stage I.e. ALA synthase, heme oxygenase, hexokinase, COX, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), etc.  Activation Energy and Transition State Activation energy – energy needed for the reactants (substrates) to reach the transition state New bonds are forming and old bonds are breaking (transition state complex) Transition state (point) – molecules have the highest potential energy Can have multiple transition states for coupled (or successive) reactions Endergonic and exergonic only refer to comparison of reactant & products values 7 Marks’ Fig. 8.7  Enzymes (catalysts) lower the activation energy (barrier), thus speeding up a reaction (stabilize the transition state) – typical catalytic power: 106-1014 Does not change the overall G values Would actually see 2 “hills” or “peaks” on the curve with enzyme ATP Reactant molecules Glucose Enzyme Transition state Activation energy (EA) without enzyme 1. E+S ES Free energy (G) Activation energy (EA) 2. ES EP with enzyme Reactants Change in 3. EP E + P free energy (G) Products Progress of an exergonic reaction 8 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.  3-D Structure of Enzymes Active site Substrate-binding site Lock and key Induced Fit Transition state complex 9 Marks’ Fig. 8.4  Active Site Site (usually an opening or cleft) where the chemical reaction takes place Contains functional groups that are actively involved in the reaction Coenzymes – enzymes that utilize cofactors (metals or complex organic molecules) as functional groups too Glucose Yeast hexokinase structure 10 Fig. 18.6 Garrett & Grisham 4th Ed.  Substrate Binding & Transition States Substrate binds to the substrate binding site Non-covalent bonds form Amino acids from enzyme or atoms of cofactors Additional bonds form with the enzyme to stabilize the substrate in its transition state Stabilization is how the activation energy is lowered 11 Marks’ Fig. 8.4 Substrate Binding and Specificity Enzymes are highly specific (some more than others) due to chemical shapes and/or interactions within the substrate binding sites 2 mechanisms describe the binding: Lock-and-Key Induced-Fit 12 Marks’ Fig. 8.5  Binding Mechanisms Lock-and-Key Substrate binding site creates a 3-D shape that is complementary to the substrate Non-covalent interactions (hydrophobic, electrostatic, H-bonds, etc.) Induced-Fit Substrate binding induces a conformational change Still must be complementary Functional groups http://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/lecture-test-for-packet-3/deck/774786 repositioned to 13 promote reaction  Various Functional Groups in Enzymes Covers Learning Objective: 4. Identify the different functional groups (amino acid side chains, coenzymes, and metal ions) and explain how each contributes to an enzymatic reaction.  Functional Groups Amino acid side chains Ser, Cys, Lys, His: covalent catalysis Polar AAs: nucleophilic catalysis Coenzymes: non-protein organic molecules (vitamins) Activation-transfer - form covalent bond with substrate, then activate it for transfer Redox reactions – accept or donate electrons to activate substrate, but no covalent bond formed Metal ions Electrophiles – electron-attracting groups Substrate binding, stabilizing anions, donate/accept electrons in redox reactions 15  Coenzymes - Biotin Activation-transfer: form covalent bond with substrate, then activate it for transfer Biotin – uses its N to attach to -COO groups in carboxylases Water-soluble vitamin (B7) Covalently linked to Lys 16 Figure 22.2 Garrett & Grisham 4th Ed.  Coenzymes - CoA Activation-transfer: form covalent bond with substrate, then activate it for transfer Coenzyme A – uses its sulfhydryl group to do nucleophilic attacks on carbonyl groups Used in many pathways, but written as CoA and Acetyl-CoA Requires vitamin B5 17 Marks’ Fig. 8.9  Coenzymes - TPP Activation-transfer: form covalent bond with substrate, then activate it for transfer Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) – contains carbon with dissociable proton PDH complex -ketogluterate dehydrogenase complex Requires vitamin B1 (thiamine) Marks’ Fig. 8.8 18  Coenzymes - Redox Oxidation-Reduction Oxidized: loss of e- (loss of H or gain of O atoms) Reduction: gain of e- (gain of H or loss of O atoms) Similar to activation-transfer, but no covalent bond formed Functional groups accept or donate electrons I.e. FAD, NAD(P)+ 19 Marks’ Fig. 8.10 Factors That Affect Enzymatic Activity pH Temperature Substrate / Enzyme concentration Michaelis-Menton kinetics Covers Learning Objective: 5. Describe factors (pH, temperature, concentrations of enzyme and substrate) affecting the rate of a reaction.  Affect of pH Enzymes are most active at a certain pH Usually correlates to their cellular location [Life: The Science of Biology, Purves, 4th Edition]  Affect of Temperature Most enzymes function optimally at 37°C Denaturation occurs as temperature increases [Lippincott Biochemistry, 5th Ed., Fig. 5.7] Substrate/Enzyme Concentration Blue – enzyme Red - substrate  Enzyme Regulation and Metabolic Pathways Covers Learning Objectives: 6. Explain the importance of a regulatory enzyme in a metabolic pathway using examples. 7. Compare and contrast the mechanisms for regulating enzymes (feedback inhibition, allosteric, hormonal regulation via covalent modification, and induction/repression), and relate to the time required for each.  Regulation of Enzymatic Reactions Common Types of Enzymatic Regulations Feedback loops (positive or negative) Allosteric regulation (activators or inhibitors) Covalent modification Hormone regulation via covalent modification Induction/repression of genes Figure 17.8, Voet, Voet & Pratt, 3rd Ed.  Feedback Loops A product acts on an upstream enzyme Can be positive or negative feedback Quick form of feedback (seconds) [Cornell, B. 2016. Feedback Inhibition]  Allosteric Regulation The allosteric site is different from the active site A molecule binds to the allosteric site and changes the conformation of the enzyme (i.e. PFK-2; seconds) [OpenStax Biology, Chapter 6.5: Enzymes, Fig. 4]  Hormonal Regulation Via Covalent Modification Hormones bind to receptors and cause activation of kinases or phosphatases, which then regulated enzymes of pathways Cellular response (covalent: sec – min; hormone: min – months) Induction/Repression of Genes [Molec. Biology of the Cell, Alberts, 5th Ed., Fig. 15-6]  Summary of Enzymatic Regulation Time for Regulator event Typical effectors Results change Substrate availability Substrate Change in Seconds velocity Product inhibition Product Change in Vm Seconds and /or Km Allosteric control End product, another Change in Vm Seconds molecule and/or Km Covalent Another enzyme, Change in Vm Seconds to minutes modification hormones and/or Km to days Induction or Hormone, metabolite Change in min to hrs to days Repression the amount of protein  Michaelis-Menten Kinetics Covers Learning Objectives: 8. Contrast KD with KM. 9. Compare and contrast between Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver Burk plots of enzyme kinetics and inhibition, locate KM, Vmax, KM,app, Vi on each plot, and predict the effect(s) of reaction perturbations (i.e. increases in substrate, increases in inhibitor, etc) on each plot. 10. Compare the catalytic mechanism of an allosteric enzyme to an enzyme that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics.  Michaelis-Menten Plot Velocity of all enzymatic reactions is dependent on [substrate] Enzyme catalyzed reactions have a substrate saturation E+S ES E+P 32 Marks’ Fig. 9.2 KM and Affinity A smaller KM value indicates a higher affinity for a substrate Half the amount of enzyme will be bound to substrate at the KM value KM values are often in the M or nM range [Lippincott Biochemistry, 5th Ed., Fig. 5.9]  KM vs KD KM - Michaelis-Menten constant KD - Dissociation constant Kinetic constant Thermodynamic constant Measures the impact of substrate True measure of the affinity of concentration on the speed of a a ligand for a binding site of an reaction enzyme Can be used as an indirect i.e.: concentration 50% of measure of affinity in the active ligand will dissociate from site the enzyme Note: doesn’t address speed of the reaction allosteric site Note: for both KM and KD, the smaller allosteric site the number, the bigger the affinity!!  Turnover Number - Examples Turnover number (catalytic constant) kcat = Vmax / [E]total Units = sec-1 Lysozyme takes 2 sec to cleave a glycosidic bond of glycan Catalase – destroys H2O2 molecules! It destroys 40 million H2O2 molecules every single second 35 Garrett & Grisham 4th Ed.  Regulation via Inhibition Inhibitors - decrease the rate of an enzymatic reaction Reversible – diffuse away at a significant rate (i.e. not covalent!) Irreversible – ‘suicide inhibitors’ Covalent (or very, very tight non-covalent) bonds to enzyme Ex: aspirin, penicillin Decreases amount of active enzyme available Transition-state analogs Best inhibitors! Bind more tightly to enzyme than substrate or products Many pharmacologic examples (penicillin, allopurinol, etc) Marks’ Figs. 8.14 & 31.19  Allopurinol: Example of Transition State Analog (low concentration) 37 Marks’ Fig. 8.15  Reversible Inhibition Competitive Inhibitor binds to substrate-binding site (active site) Noncompetitive Inhibitor binds enzyme other than the substrate-binding site (allosteric site) Can be before or after substrate binds Pure: inhibitor binds in a different place than a given substrate (can have 1 or more substrates) Mixed: inhibitor binds outside of substrate- binding sites Uncompetitive Inhibitor only binds the ES complex (not enzyme alone) Only happens in multi-substrate reactions  Lineweaver-Burk Plots Velocity vs [S] gives Taking the inverse of both axes a hyperbolic curve transforms it to a line Easier to make comparisons, determine type of inhibition, etc. Marks’ Figs. 9.2 & 9.3  Competitive Inhibition Vmax is unaffected Vmax definition: … with unlimited substrate What happens to the inhibitor with unlimited substrate added? Km looks different – Km,app (apparent Km) Km,app is increased with inhibitor What does that mean about the affinity for S? 40 Figure 13.13 Garrett & Grisham, 5th Ed  Example – Competitive Inhibition Statin drugs- antihyperlipidemia Lippincott Biochemistry, 5th Ed., Fig. 5.13 Pure Noncompetitive Inhibition Binding of I has no effect on the binding of S for E Decreased Vmax (Vmax’) value than no inhibitor Vmax value Km is the same 42  Mixed Noncompetitive Inhibition Binding of the inhibitor changes the affinity for the substrate Decreased Vmax (Vmax’) value than no inhibitor Vmax value Km,app depends on KI and KI’ values, but differs from Km 43 Figure 13.16 Garrett & Grisham, 5th Examples – Noncompetitive Inhibition Allopurinol (high concentrations) on xanthine oxidase Alanine on pyruvate kinase Uncompetitive Inhibition Inhibitor only binds ES complex Vmax will decrease Some of the ES complex inhibited Km,app decreases Ability to inhibit is dependent on E and S bound Figure 13.17 Garrett & Grisham, 5th Ed  Allosteric Modification Outside of the active site Binding of regulators to allosteric sites induces a conformational change within the enzyme May not follow Michaelis-Menton kinetics (i.e. hexokinase I vs glucokinase) Activators, deactivators, cooperative binding are examples Sigmoidal curve is due to cooperativity 46 Marks’ Fig. 9.4  Cooperativity in Allosteric Enzymes Usually ≥ 2 subunits and ≥ 2 states First substrate (S) has a hard time binding because all subunits in T (taut) state Substrate binding in 1 subunit increases the chance of another substrate binding S-shaped curves Ends in substrate bound to all substrates in the R (relaxed) state I.e. hemoglobin binding O2 47 Marks’ Fig. 9.7  Cooperativity Activators & Inhibitors Activators – increase the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate tend to bind more tightly to R state Inhibitors – decrease the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate tend to bind more tightly to T state Activators shift S-curve to the left Inhibitors shift S-curve to the right Notice the change in affinity values Example: PFK-1 of glycolysis 48 Marks’ Fig. 9.8  Summary of Enzymatic Regulation Time for Regulator event Typical effectors Results change Substrate availability Substrate Change in Seconds velocity Product inhibition Product Change in Vm Seconds and /or Km Allosteric control End product, another Change in Vm Seconds molecule and/or Km Covalent Another enzyme, Change in Vm Seconds to minutes modification hormones and/or Km to days Induction or Hormone, metabolite Change in min to hrs to days Repression the amount of protein  Carbohydrates: Digestion, Absorption and Glycolysis Dr. Sreenilayam Oct. 1, 2024 Reading: Marks’ Basic Medical Biochemistry, 5th Ed.
