• 2 major part:
• Energy-conserving reactions : release and conserve energy that provided by
organism’s energy source → CATABOLISM
• Energy-consuming reactions in order to build large-complex molecules from
small, simpler molecules → ANABOLISM
ENERGY Cell works:
• Chemical work
• Transport work
• Mechanical work

(substrate)
• Enzyme : specific in character
• Particular substrates
• Particular products

Effect of Environment to Enzyme Activity
• Substrate concentration
• At Low substrate concentration, enzyme makes products slowly since it seldom
contact with substrate.
• A substrate-saturated enzyme will operate at maximal velocity
• pH
• Enzyme function most rapidly at a specific optimum pH
• A great pH deviation, makes the enzyme function slower and may damage the
enzyme
• Temperature
• Enzyme function most rapidly at a specific optimum pH
• A high rise of temperature will disrupt the structure of enzyme and enzyme will lose
it activity.
Enzyme Inhibition
• Competitive Inhibition :
• directly competes with the substrate at an enzyme’s catalytic site and prevents the enzyme from forming
product
• Competitive inhibitors usually resemble normal substrates, but they cannot be converted to products.
• Uncompetitive Inhibition
• anti-competitive inhibition, takes place when an enzyme inhibitor binds only to the complex formed between
the enzyme and the substrate (the E-S complex).
• Typically occurs in reactions with two or more substrates or products. [1]
• While uncompetitive inhibition requires that an enzyme-substrate complex must be formed, non-competitive
inhibition can occur with or without the substrate present.
• Noncompetitive inhibitors :
• affect enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme at some location other than the active site.
• This alters the enzyme’s shape, rendering it inactive or less active.
• These inhibitors are called noncompetitive because they do not directly compete with the substrate. Heavy metal
poisons like mercury frequently are noncompetitive inhibitors of enzymes
Enzyme Inhibition Mechanism
Metabolic Regulation
• Purpose :
• conserve raw materials and energy and
• maintain a balance among various cell components.
• Involves activating or inactivating pathways as needed.
Systems of covalently
modified enzymes are able to
respond to more stimuli in
varied
and sophisticated ways.
Feedback Inhibition / End Product Inhibition
Feedback inhibition ensures balanced production of a pathway end product. If the end product becomes too
concentrated, it inhibits the regulatory enzyme and slows its own
synthesis. As the end product concentration decreases, pathway activity again increases and more product is formed.
Enzyme Kinetics (Michaelis-Menten Kinetics)
Basic assumption :
Enzyme catalysis occurs through a series of elementary reactions involving the
enzyme-substrate complex
k1 S : Substrate
S+E ES
k1
E : Free enzyme
k2 k-1
k-1
ES E+P ES : Enzyme-substrate
complex
The reaction is assumed in equilibrium : P : Product
k1 CE CS = k-1 CES
CES = CE CS / K*m
K*m= k-1 /k1
K*m : dissociation constant → reciprocal of the equilibrium constant
Mass Balance on Enzyme
CE + CES = CE0
k4
I + ES ESI
k-4
rP = VmCS /(Km+Cs)(1+CI/KI)
V’m = Vm /(1+CI/KI)
Effect of noncompetitive inhibitor is to reduce the Vm without affecting Km
A high substrate concentration will not overcome the effect of inhibitor, because the
inhibitor binds with the enzyme-substrate complex rather than with the free enzyme.
Enzyme Inhibition Kinetics
• Substrate Inhibition k1 k2
S+E k-1 ES E+P
k3
k-3
S + ES SES
When substrate concentration are very high, some substrates will bind with enzyme-
substrate complex as well as with free enzyme
The formation of enzyme-substrate-substrate complex will inhibit the reaction to yield the
product
Enzyme Inhibition Kinetics
• Product Inhibition k1 k2
S+E ES E+P
k-1
ES + P k3 ESP
k-3
rP = VmCS /(Km+Cs)(1+CP/KP)
KP= k-3 /k3
The Product of enzymatically catalyzed reaction may act to inhibit the reaction forming it, because
the product is bind with enzyme-substrate complex and forming an unreactive enzymee-substrate-
product complex
This inhibition tend to behave like uncompetitive inhibition.
