INTROUCTION

In biochemical process molecule similarly required

energy in order to start a reaction.
kineticenergy and velocity are required to initiate
a reaction.
The energy required to start a reaction in
activation energy.
Lower the activation energy faster the
reaction,energy in biologicalsystem described in
terms of FREE ENERGY G.
Free energy of product is lower than the reaction.
So G is negetive, thereactant change into product.

WHAT IS ACTIVATION ENERGY
The energy required by the reactants to
undergothe reaction is known as ACTIVATION
ENERGY.
ACTIVATION ENERGY & ENZYMES
Enzymes are highly specialized proteins proteins
that act as catalyst in biological system
(biocatalyst).
Enzymes are heat liable and water souble.
A molecule of an enzymes can act upon a 1000 or
more molecules of a substrate in a minute.
Enzyme catalysed reactions occur 10-10 times
faster than uncatalysed reaction.
Enzyme doesnot undergo any chemical
modification and is available only for enhancing
rate of reaction.
 Function of enzyme:-
The substrate S binds the enzyme E at the active
site forming an enzyme substrate complex.
E+S ES E+P

Catalysis occur and product P and enzymes are

released.
