ENZYMOLOGY
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Class 1. Oxidoreductases: Transfer of hydrogen or addition of oxygen.
Ex:- Lactate dehydrogenase (coenzyme NAD); Glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (coenzyme NADP); Succinate dehydrogenase (coenzyme
FAD); dioxygenases.
Class 2. Transferases: Transfer of groups other than hydrogen.
Ex:- Aminotransferase. (Subclass: Kinase, transfer of phosphoryl group from
ATP; e.g. Hexokinase)
Class 3. Hydrolases: Hydrolysis of the bond (Cleave bond and add water);
e.g. Acetylcholine esterase, Trypsin and most of the digestive enzymes.
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Class 4. Lyases: Cleave without adding water, e.g. Aldolase; HMG CoA lyase;
ATP Citrate lyase.
Class 5. Isomerases: Intramolecular transfers causing optical, geometric isomer
formation. They include racemases and epimerases. ex- Triose phosphate
isomerase.
Class 6. Ligases: ATP dependent condensation (linking of substrates) of two
molecules, ex- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase; Glutamine synthetase; PRPP
synthetase.
CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
Class 7: Translocases
A new class of enzymes . Translocases- catalyzes the translocation
of ions and other molecules across membranes.
ex- There are specific translocases for transferring hydrogen ions,
inorganic anions, cations, amino acids.
Synthetase and Synthase - Difference
Synthetases are ATP dependent enzymes catalyzing
biosynthetic reactions; they belong to Ligases (class 6).
Examples are Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase; Argininosuccinate
synthetase; PRPP synthetase and glutamine synthetase.
Synthases are enzymes catalyzing biosynthetic reactions; but they
do not require ATP directly; they belong to classes other than
ligases. Examples are glycogen synthase and ALA synthase.
COENZYME
• These substances are the
• NON PROTEIN
• ORGANIC
• LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT
• DIALYSIBLE (easily dissociates).
Salient features of Coenzymes
• It is essential for biological activity of the enzyme.
• Coenzyme is a L.M.W. organic substance.
• It is heat stable.
• Generally, the coenzymes combine loosely with the enzyme
molecules. The enzyme and coenzyme can be separated easily
by dialysis.
• When the reaction is completed, the coenzyme is released from the
apoenzyme, and is available to bind to another enzyme molecule.
• One molecule of the coenzyme is able to convert a large
number of substrate molecules with the help of enzyme.
• Most of the coenzymes are derivatives of vitamin B complex group of
substances.

Mode of Action of Enzymes
1. Lowering of activation energy
2. Acid base catalysis
3. Substrate strain
4. Covalent catalysis
5. Entropy effect
6. Product Substrate orientation theory
7. Michaelis-Menten theory
8. Fischer’s template theory
9. Koshland’s Induced fit theory
Lowering of activation energy by enzymes. Red
circle = substrate; D = energy level of product. C to A = activation energy in
the absence of enzyme; C to B is activation energy in presence of enzyme; B
to A = lowering of activation energy by enzyme.
During enzyme substrate binding, the interactions get optimized and the
substrate plays an important role in enzymatic catalysis-
1. Substrate Strain
2. Acid- Base catalysis
3. Covalent catalysis
4. Entropy effects
A combination of 1 or more of them helps in the catalytic activity of
several enzymes.
Acid base catalysis- with the help of Histidine
-Glu Asp Cys Ser Tyr
COVALENT CATALYSIS
• Formation of covalent bonding formed by the action of nucleophilic (negatively charged)
or electrophilic group of enzymes.
• Enzymes having serine residues at the active sites belong to such a group.
• Ex -Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Clotting factors.
ENTROPY effect
• Enzymes enhance the reaction by decreasing the entropy by physical appositioning
of the 2 reactants known as the proximity effect.
• Enzyme- substrate complex improves the probability of the collision of these
these molecules manifold and thus increasing the rate of reaction.
Product-Substrate Orientation Theory
• Specific orientation of the 3d structure in such a way that there is physical
apposition thus leading to higher rate of reaction.
Correct alignment of amino acids in the active center of the enzyme.
MICHAELIS MENTEN THEORY
• Lenor Michaelis and Maud Menten had the proposed the theory.
• Formation of Enzyme-Substrate complex which breaks down to form the enzyme and
product.
• Alkaline Phosphatase contains a serine residue active site which hydrolyses phosphate
esters.
Enzyme substrate complex
Fischer’s Template Theory
-3D structure of the active site of the enzyme is complementary to
the substrate. Thus enzyme and substrate fit each other. Substrate
fits on the enzyme, similar to lock and key. The lock can be opened
only by its specific key. Couldn’t explain flexibility of enzymes.
Koshland’s induced fit theory
• Enzyme has shallow grooves; substrate alignment is not
correct.
• Fixing of substrate induces structural changes in enzyme.
• Now substrate correctly fits into the active site of enzyme.
• Substrate is cleaved into two products
• The region of the enzyme where substrate binding and
catalysis occurs is referred to as active site or active centre and these two
may be separate.
• Although all parts are required for keeping the exact three dimensional
structure of the enzyme, the reaction takes place at the active site. The
active site occupies only a small portion of the whole enzyme.
• Generally active site is situated in a crevice or cleft of the enzyme
molecule. To the active site, the specific substrate is bound. The binding of
substrate to active site depends on the alignment of specific groups or
atoms at active site.
ACTIVE SITE OF ENZYMES
• During the binding, these groups may realign themselves to
provide the unique conformational orientation so as to promote
exact fitting of substrate to the active site.
• The substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site by
noncovalent bonds. These forces are hydrophobic in nature.
• The amino acids or groups that directly participate in
forming/breaking the bonds (present at the active site) are called
catalytic residues or catalytic groups.

Aspartic proteases Pepsin
Cysteinyl aspartic
proteases
Caspases in apoptosis
Metalloproteases Carboxy peptidases
Protease inhibitors
used as drugs
ACE inhibitor (Captopril),
HIV protease inhibitor (Retonavir)
1. Exergonic or Exothermic Reaction
Energy is released from the reaction, and therefore reaction goes to
completion, e.g. urease enzyme:
Urea → ammonia + CO2 + energy ( irreversible ; product conc. is 99.5%)
2. Isothermic Reaction
When energy exchange is negligible, and the reaction is easily reversible. e.g.
Pyruvate + 2H  Lactate
3. Endergonic or Endothermic Reaction
Energy is consumed and external energy is to be supplied for these reactions for these reactions. In
the body this is usually accomplished by coupling the endergonic reaction with an exergonic
reaction, e.g. Hexokinase catalyzes the following reaction:
Glucose + ATP → Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP
THERMODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Body couples exergonic and endergonic
reactions for synthetic reactions.
