Enzymes

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are enzymes primary function   They speed up reactions without being consumed  
🗑
True or False: Enzymes do not shift the equilibrium, they just reach it faster?   True  
🗑
What macronutrient are enzymes?   Proteins  
🗑
Cofactor   Inorganic component (minerals) needed to make the reaction work  
🗑
Coenzyme   Organic component (vitamins) needed to make the reaction work  
🗑
Holoenzyme   Complete enzyme: functional enzyme  
🗑
Apoenzyme   Enzyme missing cofactor or coenzyme  
🗑
Zymogen   Enzyme precursor: Must be converted to active form  
🗑
Name the classes of enzymes   Oxidoreductase, transferase, hydrolase, lyase, isomerase, ligase  
🗑
Oxydoreductase   Transfer e- from donnor to acceptor for redox reaction. NAD or FAD  
🗑
Transferase   Transfer a functional group. Breaking the bond on one molecule and putting it on another.  
🗑
Hydrolase   Water is a reactant...digestion!  
🗑
Lyase   Adds water, CO2 or ammonia to doubble bond or removes them from double bond  
🗑
Isomerase   Rearranges functional groups  
🗑
Ligase   Joins bond between C and a O, S or N... has a Pi in results and uses ATP  
🗑
Induced fit model   Most common active site model... not lock and key  
🗑
When [s] = km, them Vo = ?   1\2 Vmax  
🗑
When Vo = 1|2 Vmax then [s] = ?   Km  
🗑
If the concentration of substrate [s] is smaller than Km, what is the reaction dependant on?   Substrate  
🗑
When the concentration of substrate is bigger than Km, what is the reaction dependant on?   Enzymes  
🗑
Name 4 factors effecting enzyme activity   1. Environmental 2. Enzyme and substrate concentration 3. cofactors and coenzymes 4. Effector  
🗑
Environmental effect on enzymes: temperature   Heating up an enzyme will make the reaction go faster. However, when you heat up an enzyme, it will eventually become denatured.  
🗑
Environmental effect on enzymes: pH   Each enzyme has an optimum pH which depends on pK  
🗑
[e] and [s] effects   Excess of substrate = velocity of rxn depends on [e]  
🗑
Cofactor and coenzymes   Vitamin and mineral deficiencies will decrease enzyme activity  
🗑
Effectors   Activators = increase activity Inhibitors = decrease activity  
🗑
Competitive Inhibitor   Vmax does not change but Km will change because you have "competition" for the binding site of the enzyme  
🗑
Noncompetitive Inhibitor   Km will stay the same but Vmax will change because you have no competition for the binding site but the inhibitor is making the molecule harder to bind with the substrate  
🗑
Ternary Complex    
🗑
Enzyme Regulation   1. Covalent Modification 2. Modulation of Allosteric Enzymes 3. Increase [E] by induction  
🗑
Covalent Modification   Primary was to regulate cellular enzymes. Adding or removing a phosphate group. Dependant on enzyme...can turn it on or off.  
🗑
Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase ____ activity   Increases  
🗑
Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase ____ activity   Decreases  
🗑
Allosteric Enzymes   Regulatory enzymes in a cascade (rate limiting). Activator or inmhibitor binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme. Feedback inhibition. Tells the enzyme to speed up or slow down. Act like a noncompetitive inhibitor.  
🗑
Enzyme Induction   Slowest of all regulations . Cells can regulate the amount of E by induction. Inductions occur from hormones and diet. Ex. Insulin  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
