Enzymes Modify Chemical Reactions o o o Reactions with enzymes are faster Reactions with enzymes are more specific Enzymes increase rate of reactions without increasing temperature. They do this by lowering activation energy. They create a new reaction pathway “a short cut” © 2007 Paul Billiet ODWS (edited by ckelly 2014)

What does an ES Complex do? - holds substrate out of aqueous solution holds

What does an ES Complex do? - holds substrate out of aqueous solution holds substrate in specific orientation, close to Transition State to allow reaction to occur reduces ability of free rotation & molecular collisions with non-reactive atoms allows an altered local environment: changes ionic strength, p. H, adds or removes H-bonds to substrate
