Enzymes as proteins
-
Enzymes are biological catalysts
-
‘Biological’ because they function in living systems
-
‘Catalysts’ because they speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up or changed
-
-
Enzymes are also globular proteins
-
Critical to the enzyme’s function is the active site where the substrate binds
-
Metabolic pathways are controlled by enzymes in a biochemical cascade of reactions
-
Virtually every metabolic reaction within living organisms is catalysed by an enzyme – enzymes are therefore essential for life to exist
-
-
Enzymes can be intracellular or extracellular referring to whether they are active inside or outside the cell respectively
-
Intracellular enzymes are produced and function inside the cell
-
Extracellular enzymes are secreted by cells and catalyse reactions outside cells (e.g. digestive enzymes in the gut)

Example |
Catalase |
Amylase |
|
Function |
Hydrogen peroxide is produced as a by-product of many cellular reactions It is harmful to cells Catalase converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, preventing cell damage |
Digestion of food is carried out by extracellular enzymes This is because macromolecules of food are too large to enter cells Amylase is an an example of a digestive enzyme It digests carbohydrates into simple sugars |
Examiner Tips and Tricks
Don’t forget that enzymes are proteins and so anything that could denature a protein, rendering it non-operational (extremes of heat, temperature, pH etc.) would also denature an enzyme.
