Enzymes
- Biological Catalyst
- Speed up reaction without being affected itself.
- All end in -ase
- Protease
- Breaks down proteins into amino acids
- Stomach and Small intestine
- pH2 in stomach
- alkaline pH in small intestine.
- Lipase
- Breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
- Small Instestine
- Alkaline pH
- Amalayse
- Breaks down starch into sugars
- Small intestine and Mouth
- pH 7/8
- Very Specific
- pH
- Denatures over optimum pH.
- temperature
- best at 37 degrees - body temp
- Starts to slow down at 40 degrees
- over optimum temp - denatures.
- Bile
- Made by Liver
- Stored in the Gall Bladder
- Alkaline
- Emulsifies fats
- big droplets to small droplets
- Bigger surface area -
enzymes break down
fats faster.
- Active site
- 'Lock and Key'
- Only one enzyme for each type of active site.
- Substrate
- Denatures- Active site is
deformed due to different
conditions.
