🧬 Enzyme Specificity and Action Mechanism
This video segment introduces the concept of enzyme specificity and the mechanism of enzyme action. It begins with an overview of the enzyme-substrate complex, emphasizing the importance of the complementarity between the enzyme's active site and the substrate. The video explains that enzymes are proteins with a specific three-dimensional structure, and their active sites are regions where substrates bind. The concept of enzyme specificity is explored, highlighting that enzymes have a dual specificity: for the substrate based on the spatial configuration of the active site, and for the type of chemical reaction they catalyze. The video uses examples of hydrolysis and synthesis reactions to illustrate how enzymes act on specific substrates to catalyze specific chemical transformations. The role of amino acids within the active site is also discussed, with a focus on binding and catalytic amino acids that facilitate substrate binding and reaction catalysis.
🔬 Enzyme Active Site and Chemical Reactions
The second paragraph delves deeper into the functionality of the enzyme active site, which is composed of amino acids. It explains that the active site has two primary functions: to bind the specific substrate using binding amino acids and to catalyze the reaction of the bound substrate using catalytic amino acids. The video uses examples to demonstrate how enzymes form enzyme-substrate complexes during chemical reactions, which can be either hydrolysis or synthesis reactions. The video also discusses the importance of the shape complementarity between the substrate and the active site, akin to a lock and key mechanism. Finally, the video provides an application example related to leukemia, where the viewer is asked to analyze a figure showing a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. Questions are posed to reinforce understanding, such as identifying the type of reaction, naming the complex formed, and recognizing the shapes and functions of amino acids within the active site.

dear students
today we'll start a new activity in
chapter 3 which is
activity 8 specificity and mechanism of
enzyme action
at the end of this video we will be able
to
notice that the enzyme substrate
complexes due to the complementarity of
certain zones of the enzyme molecule
and the substrate
relate the functional characteristics of
an enzyme molecule to its spatial
configuration and its protein nature
[Music]
you need a pen
and your notebook
in this chapter we learned about
proteins how they are produced their
faith etc
this activity will learn about enzymes
do you know what is the chemical nature
of enzymes
yes enzymes are proteins that's why we
are interested in enzymes
structure of an infant leukemis
what can you see
yes we can see a long line of amino
acids that is
how
folded and coiled
so
enzymes are proteins
their structure will be basically a long
line of amino acids folded and coiled
many times
showing a specific part called the
active site look here
here we can see a specific part of the
enzyme and it's called the active site
of the enzyme
and we will talk later about its
importance
today we will learn about a property of
enzymes the specificity
what is meant by specificity of an
enzyme
does it mean each enzyme acts on a
specific substrate
in fact no this is an incomplete answer
to discover the real meaning of
specificity of the enzyme you have to
read
the first point in this text
enzymes have a double specificity
specificity for the substrate which
depends on the complementarity of the
spatial configuration or
three-dimensional structure of the
enzyme active site and the substrate in
a lock key relationship
so it's obvious that specificity of an
enzyme has more than one meaning
first meaning
the specificity for the substrate
due to the complementarity of the
spatial configuration of the enzymatic
active site and the substrate in a lock
and key relationship
so the key has to fit in the lock
look at the shape of the active site of
the enzyme and that of the convenient or
the specific substrate how are they
yes they are complement
so this abstract has to fit in the
active site as the key that fits in the
lock
what about the second meaning of
specificity of an enzyme
let's read the second point in the text
specificity in the reaction catalyzed an
enzyme acts in a specific chemical
reaction on the substrate
for example look here we have an enzyme
that catalyzes a reaction
one substrate is fixed in the active
site of the enzyme
at the end two products are good this is
a hydrolysis reaction so here the enzyme
is catalyzing a hydrolysis reaction
here we have two substrates
that combine
in the active site of the enzyme to
produce at the end
just
one product
so this is a synthesis reaction here the
enzyme is catalyzing a specific chemical
reaction which is the synthesis reaction
so let's talk more about the hydrolysis
reaction in a hydroxyl reaction one
substrate is decomposed into two or more
simple products at the end of the
reaction here we have one substrate
and at the end we have two products
so in this case the enzyme is catalyzing
the hydrolysis reaction or is acting in
a hydrolysis reaction
in a synthesis reaction two or more
substrates combine together
to give at the end one product
so in this case the enzyme is acting in
a synthesis reaction
in both cases
we have the formation of
a complex enzyme substrate okay
here we have enzyme substrate complex
and all in all we have a hydrolysis
reaction since we have one substrate and
two products at the end
and here also we have an enzyme
substrate complex
and this is the case of synthesis
reaction since we have two substrates
and one product at the end
so
to sum up we can say that specificity of
an enzyme means
each enzyme acts
on a specific substate
and also each enzyme catalyzes a
specific type of chemical reaction so
these are the two meanings of
specificity of an enzyme and keep in
mind that an enzyme substrate complex is
formed during the chemical reaction so
here we have an enzyme substrate complex
formed
now
the active site of the enzyme remember
when we talked about the active site of
the enzyme
where does the binding of the substrate
and the catalysis of the chemical
reaction okay
yes
look here in the active site of the of
the enzyme
okay in your opinion from what the
active site of the enzyme is made up of
remember
the enzyme is what
yes a protein and from what a protein is
made up of
amino acids so
the active site is indeed made up of
amino acids so it's made up of amino
acids since it's a part of the enzyme
knowing that the enzyme is a protein
now in order to discover the way the
enzyme active site functions you have to
read the following paragraph
the enzyme active site made up of amino
acids has two functions first to bind
the specific substrate using binding
amino acids
to catalyze the reaction underwent by
the bound substrate using catalytic
amino acids
so amino acids of the active sites
among these amino acids i can talk about
two groups
a group
called burning amino acids
binds to the substate and another group
of amino acids called catalytic amino
acids that catalyzes the reaction
finally to sum up let's see in this
summary
each enzyme acts on a specific substrate
and catalyzes a specific type of
chemical reaction
two the substrate points to the enzyme
and the chemical reaction
is catalyzed in the active site of the
enzyme the active site of the enzyme
contains amino acids a group of these
amino acids points to the substrate here
i'm talking about the binding amino
acids
and the other group catalyzes the
occurring reaction and here i'm talking
about the catalytic amino acids
what about an application
leukemia
here you have a figure that shows the
occurrence of a chemical reaction
catalyzed by an invite you have to
observe this figure and to answer the
following questions
take your time
now solution
regarding the first question indicate
the type of the reaction shown
now the reaction starts with
one substrate
and it ends with two products
right
so this is a
yes
excellent hydrolysis reaction
second question
give the name of the complex formed in
step two here we have step two
what do we call this complex
yes
enzyme substrate complex
third question what can you say about
the shapes of the substrate and that of
the active site
so if you have the shape of the active
site and here you have the shape of
the substrate how are they
yes they are complement right
and the last question
give the name of the amino acids found
in the active site that are responsible
for the fixation of the substrate
yes they are the binding
amino acids
excellent work
finally don't forget to study the
summary
thank you for your attention goodbye
