BEAR program Exam Prep

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

Factors
Characteristics
Double-Rciprocal plot   Lineweaver Burk (L-B) Plot 1/V on y-axis 1/[S] on x-axis  
🗑
Holoenzyme   cofactor+enzyme  
🗑
Apoenzyme   protein part of Holoenzyme  
🗑
Non protein co-factor   metal ions (example Ze+, Fe+)  
🗑
Coenzymes   Small organic molecules often derivatives of vitamins  
🗑
Endergonic Reaction   Needs energy to proceed; free energy is positive  
🗑
Exergonic Reaction   Energy is released; free energy is negative  
🗑
Reaction Rate   Number of subtrate molecules converted per unit of time Directly proportional to enzyme concentration at all [S]  
🗑
[S]< Km   Velocity is directly proportional [S], first order, dependant on [S]  
🗑
[S]>Km   velosity is constant, equal to Vmax,independant of [S], Zero order  
🗑
Big Km   high concentration of substrate needed to 1/2 saturate enzyme, low affinity  
🗑
Small Km   low concentration of substance needed to 1/2 saturate enzyme; high affinity  
🗑
Km   substrate concentration at 1/2 Vmax  
🗑
Vmax   saturation of all available binding sites on the enzyme molecules  
🗑
Competative Inhibition   Binds substrate reversibly, Vmax doesn't change, Km increases, L-B plot y-intercept the same  
🗑
Non-competative Inhibition   binds different site on enzyme than substrate; can bind E or ES, Vmax Decreases, No change in Km, L-B plot same x-intercept  
🗑
Six major classes   Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Hydrolase, Lyase, Isomerase, Ligase  
🗑
Systemic Enzyme Naming   Name of substrate (more than one use colon) followed by action performed + ase  
🗑
Regulating enzyme number   gene expression, covelent modification of proenzymes, proteolytic activity  
🗑
Denature Enzyme   Extreme pH or temperature  
🗑
Active Site   special pocket or cleft that creats 3-# surface complementary to substrate, chemical facilitation of substrate to product via stabilizing transition state and catalytic groups  
🗑
Kinase   phosphorylates- adds a phosphate group to- proteins (+P)  
🗑
Phosphotase   dephosphorylates- removes a phosphate group from- protiens (-P)  
🗑
Equilibrium   delta G is 0  
🗑
Michaelis-Menten Equation (M-M eq)   V = (Vmax[S])/(Km+[S])  
🗑
Lineweaver-Burk Equation(L-B eq)   (1/V)=(Km/Vmax[S]) +(1/Vmax[S])  
🗑
y = mx + b   (x,y) points on graph. b = y-intercept. m= slope. In L-B plot m= (Km/Vmax)  
🗑
Ribozymes   RNA's that act as enzymes  
🗑
Homotropic Effector   when substrate serves as effector  
🗑
Heterotropic effector   when effector differs from substrate  
🗑
Allosteric Enzyme   Binds substrate + small, physiologically important molecule that can alter activity; composed of multiple subunits  
🗑
Effector   Molecules that bind non-covalently at a site other than the active site; Can alter the Km and/or Vmax  
🗑
Positive and negative effectors   Positive- increases enzyme activity; Negative- decreases enzyme activity  
🗑
Isozyme (Isoenzyme)   catalyze same reaction but have different physical properties due to genetically different amnio acid sequences  
🗑
zymogen   inactive precursors of enzymes involved in blood coagulation  
🗑
Enzyme   Protein catalyst that increases the rate of reaction without being changed in the process; high specificity and catalytic efficiency (lowers activation energy of a reaction)  
🗑
Free Energy   energy associated with a chemcial reaction that can be used to do work; change in free energy predicts which direction a reaction will spontaneously proceed  
🗑
Oxidoreductase   catalyzes oxidation-reduction reactions where hydrogen, oxygen or electrons are transferred between molecules  
🗑
Transferases   transfers atoms or groups of atoms/molecules  
🗑
Hydrolases   cleaves bonds by adding water  
🗑
Lyases   elimination reaction; removes group(s) of atoms  
🗑
Isomerases   catalyzes interconversion of isomers (isomers- same chemical formula, different structure)  
🗑
Ligases   catalyzes formation fo bonds and hydrolysis of high energy phosphates  
🗑
Plasma   fluid, non-cellular part of blood  
🗑
Serum   result of centrifuged, coagulated blood  
🗑


   

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.
