Question
Answer
In equilibrium the reaction is not stopped   the concentrations just become constant  
🗑
Keq=   [product]/ [reactant]  
🗑
if one arrow is larger in an eq rxn, the larger arrow denoted   the more favorable direction of the reaction  
🗑
if arrow on top is larger pointing to right, the [product]/ [reactant] will be   greater than 1  
🗑
if equilibrium arrow on bottom is larger in favor of the left side of the reaction the [product]/ [reactant] will be   less than 1 because rxn favors left side  
🗑
if Keq is >1, delta G will be   negative; if delta G is positive, the reaction has no tendency to go forward (concentration of products higher than reactants)  
🗑
if delta G is positive, the reactants are   in higher concentration; Keq < 1  
🗑
Enzymes are typically   globular proteins; speed rxn by lowering AE  
🗑
For a rxn that is zero order, the velocity doesn't depend on concentration of substrate   no answer  
🗑
small molecule required for enzyme activity; organic or inorganic; tight or loose   cofactor  
🗑
ORGANIC; LOOSELY bound enzyme, like a substrate   coenzyme- Ex: NADP(H), NAD(H), ATP  
🗑
organic or inorganic cofactor that is TIGHTLY bound to enzyme   prosthetic group. Ex: Heme, iron- sulfur clusters, metal ions  
🗑
folded polypeptide chain of a cnjugated protein   apoprotein  
🗑
complete, biologically active protein conjugate, consisting of folded polypeptide chains and relevant cofactors   holoprotein  
🗑
as temp increases, kinetic energy of molecules increase including substrate   how heat affects proteins  
🗑
Temperature increase affects reaction rates of proetin denaturing until   max level is achieved then it drops off with further increase in temp  
🗑
most animal proteins denature at   40 degrees; optimal is 37 degrees  
🗑
pH can cause enzyme to perform better or worse depending on   R group; if outside pH range the protein will denature; cause a configuration change  
🗑
region of an enzyme that accepts substrate (and cofactors); contributes catalytic residues that directly participate in making/ breaking of bonds   active site  
🗑
active site is 3D and dynamic   also takes up a small are and is usually a cleft or crevice  
🗑
substrates are bound to active sites by   non-covalent bonds  
🗑
active site is specifically catered to a specific molecule   no answer  
🗑
If an enzyme has 5 active sites and all are filled with substrates it is   saturated  
🗑
Enzymes ability to reduce delta G   entropy reduction; acid- base catalysis; covalent catalysis  
🗑
one or more substrates bind in active site with correct orientation   Entropy reduction- "S"; disorder  
🗑
some enzymes can have multiple active sites   true  
🗑
Substrate protons important for reactivity are accepted or donated by amino acid in the active site   General acid- base catalysis; structural mechanism for delta G reduction; accounts for pH dependence of enzyme activity  
🗑
transient (brief) covalent bond is formed between enzyme and substrate- usually for cleavage   Covalent catalysis; delta G reduction  
🗑
6 classes of enzyme reactions   oxidoreductase; transferase; hydrolase; lyase; isomerase; ligase/synthetase  
🗑
Enzyme reactions:catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions, transfer electrons from one compound to another, thus changing the oxidation state of both substrates.   Oxidoreductases:dehydrogenases (transfer H-); oxygenases (oxidizes with O2); peroxidases (i.e. catalase)  
🗑
Enzyme reactions:catalyze reactions in which a functional group is transferred from one compound to another   Transferases; (kinases; adds phosphate group, ATP is source of phosphate)  
🗑
Enzyme reactions:cleave carbon-oxygen, carbon-nitrogen, or carbon-sulfur bonds by adding water across the bond.   Hydrolases  
🗑
the equation describes the relationship between rate, substrate, and Michaelis constant so the lower the Km value the higher the affinity for enzyme toward substrate (look at the graph)   MM MM notes  
🗑
more specific indicator of liver inflammation than AST   ALT; found predominately in the liver  
🗑
if AST high and ALT normal, there is likely damage to   organ other than liver  
🗑
cleaves C-O, C-N, or C-S bonds by adding water across bond   Hydrolases  
🗑
normal AST level   7-27  
🗑
normal ALT level   1-21  
🗑
ALT is more specific and AST may also be elevated in   heart or muscles in MI or pancreatitis  
🗑
too much tylenol or drinking   ALT and AST levels both high  
🗑
Maltose --> Glucose with Maltase enzyme   hydrolase  
🗑
Cleaves C-O, C-N, or C-S WITHOUT addition of water AND without oxidizing or reducing substrates   Lyases; water can be a produt but not used to break hydrate the molecule  
🗑
catalyze intramolecular rearrangements of functional groups that reversibly interconvert optical or geometric isomers   Isomerases  
🗑
catalyze formation of new chemical bonds by coupling their formation to the cleavage of a high-energy compound   Ligases/Synthetases;Ligases differ from lyases in that they utilize the energy obtained from cleavage of a high-energy bond to drive the reaction usually ATP.  
🗑
Enzymes that catalyze the same reaction, but differ in structure or sequence are called   isoenzymes(isozymes) Ex: lactate dehydrogenase. May also have different reaction rates/tissue distributions. They usually share the same name and are differentiated by the addition of letters or numbers (i.e. LDH1, LDH2, LDH3, etc.)  
🗑
direct, reversible inhibition at an enzyme’s active site by the product of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction   Product inhibition; simplest form of enzyme regulation  
🗑
Products can often weakly inhibit the enzymes that produced them because   reactant and product are similar in structure and can compete for binding site  
🗑
simplest form of enzyme regulation   product inhibition  
🗑
Allosteric regulators bind enzyme at a location distinct from the active site   this can increase or decrease enzyme activity because it changes the conformation of the protein  
🗑
when a downstream product inhibits an upstream enzyme   feedback inhibition  
🗑
phosphorylation reults in conformational changes that   can increase or decrese an anzymes catalytic activity  
🗑
protein phosphatases do what   remove phosphate group from enzyme  
🗑
a large inactive form of an enzyme that can be activated by proteolytic cleavage   zymogen; ex: digestive enzymes are synthesized as zymogens which can be activated on demand by proteases.  
🗑
Pancreatitis is causes by premature activation of digestive zymogens   they end up digesting pancreatic tissue  
🗑
Enzyme synthesis and deradation   form of regulation that occurs over hours to days  
🗑
Vmax is proportional to the amount of enzymes present   amount of enzyme generated can be increased or decreased based on physiological needs; ex, insulin can induce synthesis of an enzyme  
🗑

🗑
Damaged cells can release ____when diseased   isoenzymes; normally in the cell but are released into the blood  
🗑
Following an acute cell damage (like heart attack) it takes how long for enzyme levels to spike?   18-36 hours; in chronic disease, like cancer, blood enzymes are elevated  
🗑

Which CK isozyme is more predominant in the heart?   CK-MB  
🗑
Baseline CK activity in the plasma is usually   95% CK-MM  
🗑
Two plasma CK assays are useful in diagnosing heart attack   Total Ck activity; if elevated could mean heart attack or some other muscle damaging disorder. If CK-MB is high then we know there is a heart prob  
🗑
Heart attack = elevated CK-MB levels   no answer  
🗑
Elevated LDL1 is indicative of what?   heart attack; LDL2 is normally higher but if LDL1 level surpasses it (levels are 'flipped') there is heart attack;  
🗑
Total LDL elevation OTHER than the "flip" scenaario indicate what?   damage or disease in a tissue other than the heart  
🗑
