Substrate: o E.g., Lactase is the enzyme acting on lactose 2. Enzyme action: not in the end of pyruvate * O is the enzyme that E.g., pyruvate decarboxylase removes carboxyl from pyruvate  Nomenclature of Enzymes(cont.,) Each enzyme is assigned 2 names ending in ase: b)Systematic name with an EC number: Official name that defines exactly reaction catalyzed by the enzyme EC number: 4 digits number that indicates the main & class, subclass, subsubclass & serial number of z enzyme in its subsubclass. Example: - Alcohol Dehydrogenase is EC 1.1.1.1 -- - Tripeptide aminopeptidase is EC 3.4.11.4  Alcohol Dehydrogenase is EC 1.1.1.1 – EC 1 - Oxidoreductases – EC 1.1 - Acting on the CH-OH group of donors (acts on primary or secondary alcohols or hemiacetals) – EC 1.1.1 - With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor – EC 1.1.1.1 - Alcohol dehydrogenase Subclass subla & [ Tripeptide aminopeptidase is EC 3.4.11.4 – EC 3 - Hydrolases – EC 3.4 - Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) – EC 3.4.11 - Aminopeptidases (release of the N-terminal residue from a tripeptide) – EC 3.4.11.4 - Tripeptide aminopeptidase  Classification of enzymes 7 Enzymes are classified into =6 major classes based on the type of the reaction, with numerous subgroups: 1. Oxidoreductases (EC 1): – Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, – E.g., Oxidases, Oxygenases, Reductases, Peroxidases Dehydrogenases. 2. Transferases (EC 2): % - /s – Catalyze transfer of functional groups - – E.g., Aminotransferases, Kinases, 3. Hydrolases (EC 3): ① – Catalyze breaking of bonds by addition of water – E.g., Esterases, Peptidases, Phosphatases reversible - - reform - Breaks of  Classification of enzymes(cont.,) 4. Lyases (EC 4): reversible – Catalyze breaking of Guo C-O, C-C or C-N bonds. without water – E.g., Decarboxylases, deaminases. 5. Isomerases (EC 5): 55 jis reversible – Catalyze rearrangement of functional groups. - – E.g., Mutases, Epimerases, Racemases. one) I MER (only irrehonsable 6. Ligases (EC 6): b energy is weel – Catalyze formation of bonds to join 2 molecules. – E.g., Synthetases, Carboxylases. membranel Additional information can be obtained from: https://enzyme.expasy.org/enzyme-byclass.html ↳  adding reductt im reduced It H reduced Oxidized oxidized + I Zie Spink - C no ATP ⑭ Blue up Blue a [ ATP using  Enzyme Specificity Absolute specificity: sig – The enzyme will catalyze only one reaction i.e., reacts - only with a single substrate. – The enzyme will act on a particular - called isomer (only work with the D- or L- form) (Stereochemical specificity ) - - - - Relative specificity (low specificity): – The enzyme will act on a particular type of bond regardless of the rest of the molecular structure Group specificity (intermediate specificity) – The enzyme will act only on molecules that have specific functional groups, as amino, phosphate & methyl groups -- -  Substrate Terms used in enzymology Substrate: enzymes & 310 V , · The substance acted upon by the enzyme to form the product Product: The substance that is produced by the action of the enzyme Apoenzyme: The protein part of the enzyme which is - catalytically inactive confactor needs a to be active Holoenzyme: The apoenzyme + the cofactor Protein non-protein  bind to to activate it - apoenzyme (non-protein) metal ??

Metal ions of metalloenzymes: tightly bound to enzyme. Coenzyme: may be: Co-substrates: Loosely bound to the enzyme, So, it freely dissociates from enzyme. E.g., NAD. Prosthetic group: Tightly bound, covalently or non-covalently, to the apoenzyme. E.g., FAD.  Vitamin Coenzyme Metabolic role Enzyme precursor Niacin NAD, NADP -...

Enzymes are important for diagnosis, monitoring prognosis, treatment and toxicology. Enzymes have recommended names and official names with EC numbers & are classified into six major classes. Enzymes are specific for various substrates, due to the selective nature of the binding sites on the enzyme. Substrate, product, apoenzyme, holoenzyme, cofactor, coenzyme, active site and allosteric site, are terms used in the study of enzymes. There are many differences between enzymes and inorganic catalysts  Recommended Readings 1. Biochemistry ( Lippincott’s Illustrated Review) Editors: Pamela C. Champe Publisher: Lippinoctt- Raven 2.
