• Definition
• Nomenclature and classfication
• Mechanism of action
• Factors affecting enzyme activity
• Introduction to isoenzymes
Definition
The enzymes ‐- the catalysts of biological systems
Catalyst is essential to make most critical biochemical reactions
proceed at useful rates under physiological conditions
• Participate in the breakdown of nutrients to
supply energy and chemical building blocks
• The assembly of those building blocks into
proteins, DNA, membranes, cells, and tissues
• The harnessing of energy to power cell motility,
neural function, and muscle contraction.
Definition
The enzymes ‐- the catalysts of biological systems
• The most striking characteristics of enzymes are
their catalytic power and specificity.
• The enzymes that catalyze the conversion of one
or more compounds (substrates) into one or
more different compounds (products) generally
enhance the rates of the corresponding non-‐
catalyzed reaction by factors of 106 or more.

Definition
Cofactor
Prosthetic group : very tightly or even covalently bound to
enzyme
Coenzymes
√ Many enzymes use ions or small bound molecules
called cofactors or coenzymes to aid in catalysis
Prostethic group
Cofactor
Metal ions as cofactors
Mechanism of action
Enzymes lower a
reaction’s activation
energy
All chemical reactions
have an energy
barrier, called the
activation energy,
separating the
reactants and the
products.
Activation energy:
amount of energy
needed to disrupt
stable molecule so
Mechanism of action
• Enzymes bind substrates to their active site
and stabilize the transition state of the reaction.
• The active site of the enzyme is the place where the
substrate binds and at which catalysis occurs.
• The active site binds the substrate, forming
an enzyme-‐substrate (ES) complex.

Some competitive
inhibitors are used
to treat human

Introduction to isoenzymes and ribozymes
Isoenzymes
Isoenzymes or isozymes are multiple forms of
same enzyme that catalyze the same chemical
reaction
Different chemical and physical properties:
• Amino acid sequence
• Amino acid composition
• Kinetic properties
• Electrophoretic mobility
Isoenzymes - example
LDH isoenzymes
Principal Serum Enzymes Used in Clinical Diagnosis.
Note: Many of the enzymes are not specific for the disease listed.
