Enzymes and ATP

Enzymes act as protein catalysts in biochemical processes
Enzymes bind to a substrate and forms the enzyme substrate complex.

Enzymes work by lowering the energy of activation.
Activation energy must be supplied for the reaction to begin, once supplied, the reaction can proceed on its own.
Enzymes can speed up events.
They are not used by during the reaction because the enzyme stays the same, it does not change during the reaction.

(Hudon-Miller, Enzymes, 2013)

Enzymes act as protein catalysts in biochemical processes


Frutokinase is the enzyme that acts on fructose in the liver and turns fructose into fructose 1 phosphate.



Fructose 1 phosphate is changed to DHAP and glyaraldehyde by an enzyme called aldolase B. …show more content…
These hydrogen ions are harnessed through ATP synthase and with ADP and P1 make ATP.

(Sanders, Electron transport chain, 2013)

    Fructose-1-phosphate, or F-1-P, is the specific substrate acted on by the enzyme, aldolase B. Aldolase B takes F-1-P and makes the products, DHAP and Glyceraldehyde. These products are immediates in glycolysis to make fatty acids or ATP or it can go through gluconeogenesis to make glycogen (Sanders,…

    Enzyme Activity Lab Report

    The prediction for the effects of temperature on the enzyme activity was that the reaction’s rate would increase as the temperature increased, until they go over the optimum temperature where the enzymes denature and the reaction’s rate quickly drops to zero. At 5 degree C the rate is 0.00059mole PNP/min. This then increases to 0.01031mmoles PNP/min at a temperature of 50 degree C. The rate then drops drastically to -0.00215moles PNP/min. This point is where the enzymes have been denatured and have no activity, shown as the last point on the fig 8 and 9, do not fit on the graph. The optimum temperature was about 47 degree C. The core body temperature is only about 37 degree C and thus these enzymes are operating below their optimum temperature.…

    The results of our experiment showed the solutions in both tube 1 and tube 2 increasing in absorbency in the first eight minutes but then tube 1 continued to increase while tube 2 began to balance out. Tube 3, our blank, managed to stay at 0nm the entire twenty minutes. From this data, we can conclude that our hypothesis was supported that EDTA had a greater change in absorption over PTU.…

    enzyme report

    In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to lower the activation energy required for reactions to progress in the cells. Null hypothesis states that there will be no difference between the result of two separate variables A and B. The null hypothesis states in regards to the enzyme experiment that lactase will not bind preferentially, or more specifically, to maltose or lactose. Before a null hypothesis can be rejected we must notice a large difference between glucose produced from maltose versus lactose. Alternate Hypothesis states the opposite of null in that there will be differences between the results of A and B. Probability is an indication of likelihood very similar to a percent chance. All probabilities are between 0 and 1, with probability zero indicating an event is impossible and one indicating an event is certain to occur. T-value or t-Test is what is used to determine whether or not the null hypothesis is valid. This t-value can be used to create a p value which in turn will determine whether the results are statistically significant or not. Based on what I know about the effect of temperature on the enzymatic activity of lactase, I hypothesize that higher temperatures will cause denaturing in the enzyme causing it to be less effective and lower temperatures will more conducive to enzymatic activity, and a higher pH will be more conducive to enzymatic activity.…

    This process allows energy to be produced in the form of ATP, Adenosine Triose Phosphate. This occurs by converting glucose into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix via active transport. Numerous reactions, catalyzed by a multi enzyme complex then occur, where the pyruvate is decarboxylated as shown in the reaction below.…
