Chapter 23: Catalysis Zhang Chem 109C 21--1 21 Zhang Chem 109C Catalyst and Catalysis: Introduction Catalyst is a compound that by its addition to a reaction increases the rate of the reaction without itself being consumed or changed at the end of the reaction (cycle). The reaction is then called being catalyzed catalyzed. The phenomenon of catalyst in accelerating reaction is called catalysis.

Reacting groups are brought together in a proper orientation Some of the amino acid side chains as well as bounded metal ions as catalyst Stabilizing the transition states and intermediates via van der Waals interactions, electrostatic interactions, and H-bonding. Naming of enzymes End typically with ‘ase’ ase , indicating breaking the bond Peptidase: breaking the peptide bond Esterase: breaking the ester bond Synthase Synthesizing instead of breaking it down. 23--19 23 Carboxypeptidase A Zhang Chem 109C Metalloenzyme y (enzymes containing tightly bound metal ions) Hydrolyze C-terminal except lysine and arginine. 23--20 23 Serine Proteases Zhang Chem 109C Trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase are members of endopeptidases known as serine proteases 23--21 23 Serine Proteases Zhang Chem 109C Proposed mechanism for chymotrypsincatalyzed hydrolysis 23--22 23 Lysozyme Zhang Chem 109C Catalyze the hydrolysis of the bacterial cell wall NAM-NAG bond (NAM: N-Acetylmuramic acid) 23--23 23 Protein pH pH--Rate Profile Zhang Chem 109C lysozyme The pHs at which the enzyme are 50% active corresponds to the pKa of enzyme enzyme’s s catalytic groups (as long as those values are at lease 2 units apart. Why pKa of Asp52 is 3.8 but pKa of Glu35 is 6.7 instead of 4.25 in its free form? 23--24 23 Glucose--6-Phosphate Isomerase Glucose Zhang Chem 109C 23--25 23 Aldolase Zhang Chem 109C 23--26 23
