ENZYMESS-PROTEINS

ENZYMES

PROTEINS THAT SERVE AS BIOLOGICAL CATALYST FOR REACTIONS IN ALL LIVING ORGANISMS

amylase

found in saliv and the pancreas

amylase

it helps breakdown starch or carbs into smaller sugars like maltose

PEPSIN

found in stomach

PEPSIN

IT HELPS BREAKDOWN PROEINS IN FOOD, ACTIVE IN ACIDOC ENVIRONMENT OF THE STOMACH ANG BREAKS PROTEINS INTRO SMALLER PIECES CALLE PEPTIDES

LIPASE

FOUND IN PANCREAS AND SMALLIINTESTINE

LIPASE

IT AIDS IN THE DIGESTIONOF FATS AND LIPIDS

LIPASE

BREAKS FAT MOLECULESS DOWN INTO SMALLR COMPONENTS LIKE FATTY ACIDS AND GLYCEROL, MAKING THEM EASIER TO ABSORB INTO THR BODY

LACTASE

FOUND IN SMALL INTESTINE

LACTASE

HELPS TO DIGEST LACTOSE THE SUGAR FOUND IN MILK

HYDROLASE

ENZYME THAT CATALYZES A HYDROLYSIS REACTION

lipases

hydrolases can be further subdivided into———

proteases

catalyze the hydrolysis of the ester bonds in lipids or——-

dehydrogenation

the removal of two hydrogen atoms

cofactor

is a metal ion or non protein organic molecule needed for an enzyme- catalyzed reaction to occur

CREATION KINASE (CK) OR CREATINE PHOSPHOKINASE (CPK)

plays a critical role in energy production of the body particularly in tissues that have high and fluctuating demands suchs as muscles the brain and the heart

phosphocreatine

acts as energy reserve especially during high energy demand situations such as muscle contraction.

3 types of creatine kinase

CK-MB CREATINE KINASE MUSCLE/BRAINE CREATINE KINASE MUSCLE/MMUSCLE CREATINE KINASE BRAIN BRAIN

ck-mb

found pimarily in heart muscle

ck-mb

elevated levels of ck-mb in the blood can be indicator of heart damage such as during a myocardial infarction (heart attack

ck-mm

present in skeletal muscles

ck-mm

indicate muscle damage or stress

ckk-bb

found in both brain and smooth muscle

ck-bb

less commonly tested but can be associated with brain injuries or cancers certain typed

ace inhibitors

group of drugs use to treat individuals with high blood pressure

ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME

CLEAVES 2 AMINO ACIDS FROM THE INACTIVE DECACEPTIDE.

hiv protease inhibitors

essential enzyme needed by HIV to make copies of itself that go on to infect other cells

Agenerase

protase inhibitor taken twicee daily by individuals who are hiv posittive
