Question
Answer
What are some characterisitics of enzymes?   Specificity/ function under mild conditions such of temperature and pH/ and accelerate chemical reactions  
🗑
Cofactor   Inorganic Ion (ex. Ca2+)  
🗑
Coenzyme   Organic or Metalloorganic molecule  
🗑
Prosthetic Group   Conenzyme or metal ion tightly bound to a enzyme protien  
🗑
Holoenzyme   Catalytically active enzyme together with cofactor/coenzyme  
🗑
Apoprotein   Protien part of the holoenzyme  
🗑
Active Site   Where substrate binds and reaction occurs  
🗑
Substrate   Molecule bound to the active site and worked upon  
🗑
Simple Enzymatic Reaction Equation   E + S -> ES -> EP -> E + P  
🗑
Ground State   The starting point for either the forward or reverse reaction  
🗑
Standard Conditions   1 atm/ 298K/ 1 M  
🗑
Standard Energy Change in Biochemical Reactions   pH 7.0  
🗑
Transition State   The point at which the decay to Substrate or Product is equally possible  
🗑
Activation Energy   Difference in energy between ground state and transition state  
🗑
Rate of Reaction and Ea relationship   Higher Ea = Slower Reaction/ Lower Ea = Faster Reaction  
🗑
Catalysts   Lower Ea  
🗑
Role of Enzymes   Speed up conversion of S -> P and Eq is not affected. Reaction reaches EQ when the rate of reaction speeds up  
🗑
Reaction Intermediates   Transient Chemical Species  
🗑
How is rate determined?   By the rate limiting step (one with the highest Ea)  
🗑
Reaction rates are linked to?   Ea  
🗑
Reaction equilibria is linked to?   Gibbs Free Energy (G)  
🗑
Values of G   Negative = Favorable/ Positive = Not  
🗑
How do enzymes speed up reactions?   Covalent Bond formation between substrate and enzymes functional groups/ non-covalent interactions that form release small amounts of energy that help stabalize interactions . Weak interactions are optimized in the transition state because enzyme site is  
🗑
Binding Energy   Energy dervied from enzyme substrate interaction. Major source of free energy used to lower the Ea of reactions  
🗑
What kind of interactions are the main driving force for enzyme catalysis?   Weak binding interactions (mostly formed in the transition state make the largest contribution)  
🗑
Where does specificty in an enzyme come from?   The binding energy  
🗑
What is specificty dervied from?   Many weak interactions between the enzyme and the substrate  
🗑
Things that need to occur for a reaction to take place   Reduction in entropy/ removal of solvation shell/ distortion of substrates/ proper alignment of catalytic groups on the enzyme  
🗑
How does binding energy overcome the factors needed for a reaction to take place?   Hold substrate in place/ Enzyme-substrate interactions replace most the bonds with water/ Change in conformation induced by weak interactions  
🗑
Induced Fit   Bring specific functional groups into position on the enzyme and allows for more weak interactions to occur as conformational change occurs  
🗑
Catalytic Mechanisms   General Acid-Base/ Covalent/ Metal Ion  
🗑
General Acid-Base Catalysis   Proton transfer mediatedd by other classes of molecules  
🗑
Covalent Catalysis   Transient covalent bond is formed between enzyme and the substrate. An enzyme with a nucleophilic group is used an helps alter the reaction pathway with a lower energy  
🗑
Metal Ion Catalysis   Help orient the substrate for reaction or stabalize a charged reaction transition states and mediate redox reaction  
🗑
Chymotrypsin Catalysis Methods   Covalent Catalysis (Cleavage of Bond and formation of a bond between Ser residue on enzyme and part of the substrate)/ General Acid-Base Catalysis  
🗑
Initial Rate (Vo)   When S is much greater than E in concentration  
🗑
Vmax   Region where substrate increases will not increase the initial rate (essentially when all the enzyme has been saturated with the substrate (ES form))  
🗑
Pre-Steady State   Period in which ES concentration builds up  
🗑
Steady State   ES remains constant over time  
🗑
Steady-state Kinetics   Analysis of Initial Rates  
🗑
Steady-State Assumption   Rate of formation is equal to rate of breakdown  
🗑
Find Vo   Vo = 1/2Vmax  
🗑
Michaelis Menton Graph   Vo = Y/ S = X  
🗑
Double Reciprocal Plot   1/Vo = Km/vmax[s] + 1/vmax; Slope = Km/Vmax; Y-intercept = 1/vmax (1/vo = Y; 1/S = X)  
🗑
Reversible Enzyme Inhibition   Competitive inhibitor competes with substrate for the active site of an enzyme. Inhibitor occupies active site of enzyme.  
🗑
Uncompetitive Inhibitor   Binds at a different site than the active site  
🗑
Mixed Inhibitor   Binds to both ES or E  
🗑
pH and Enzyme Activity   Can shift how bonds are formed with the substrate or eliminate bonds that are necessary  
🗑
Function of Chymotrypsin   Cuts bonds adjacent to aromatic amino acids/ Trp/ Phe/ Tyr  
🗑
Zymogen   Inactive Precursor which must be cleaved  
🗑
Methods of Enzyme Regulation   Proteolytic Cleavage/ Phosphorylation/ Proenzymes  
🗑
Proenzymes   Must be cleaved  
🗑
