Question
Answer
enzymes can catalyze a biochemical reaction without?   altering the equilibrium point of the reaction,being consumed,changing its composition  
🗑
Active site   cavity where substrate is acted on  
🗑
substrate   substance enzymes act upon  
🗑
allosteric site   site that bind regulator  
🗑
Iso enzyme   different forms of enzymes  
🗑
cofactor   nonprotein enzyme activator  
🗑
prosthetic group   enzyme/coenzyme complex  
🗑
Nomenclature   numerical code, last number specific to each enzyme  
🗑
activation energy   the energy necessary to begin the catalytic mechanism  
🗑
how is activation energy achieved?   increased body temp, enzymes lower activation energy needed  
🗑
name 4 catalytic mechanisms   absolute specificity, group specificity, bond specificity, stereosometric specificity  
🗑
absolute specificity   enzyme combines with only one substrate and only one reaction occurs  
🗑
group specificity   enzyme combines with all substrate in a chemical group  
🗑
bond specificity   enzymes that are specific for certain chemical bonds  
🗑
stereoisometric specificity   enzymes that predominantly combine with one optical isomer of a certain compound  
🗑
factors that influence reactions   substrate concentration,enzyme concentration, pH, temperature, cofactors, inhibitors  
🗑
at low concentrations reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of substrate   First order kinetics  
🗑
substrate concentration is high enough to saturate all the available enzyme   zero order kinetics  
🗑
what is the reaction rates for zero order kinetics   reaches plateau, becomes constant, independent of substrate concentration, only dependent on concentration of enzyme  
🗑
Michaelic-Menton Constant(Km)   the constant from a specific enzyme reaction vs. the substrate concentration.  
🗑
determined by plotting the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalysed reaction vs. the substrate concentration   Michaelic-Menten Constant (Km)  
🗑
How does the enzyme concentration influence reactions   rate of catalyzed reaction  
🗑
How does the pH influence the reaction?   denaturation or changes  
🗑
How does the temperature influence the rate of reaction?   denaturation, rate  
🗑
how does the cofactors influence the reaction?   necessary for reaction, excess-inhibit reaction  
🗑
How does the inhibitors influence the reaction?   a substance that bind to particular enymes, resluting in a decrease in reaction velocity, 3 types  
🗑
competitive inhibitors   bind to the active site and compete with substrate for the active site, may damage enzyme,  
🗑
How may competitive inhibitors be overcome?   increase in substrate, but results in a higher Km, because increased substrate is required to react the max.catalysis  
🗑
Non competitive inhibitors   bind the enzyme on a site other than active site, may be reversible or irreversible if the inhibitor destroys part of enzyme.cannot be be overcome by substrate  
🗑
Uncompetitive Inhibitors   the inhibitor binds to the ES complex, the more ES compexes the more inhibition.  
🗑
Increasing substrate will not overcome the problem but actually increase the problem   Uncompetitive Inhibitors  
🗑
Enzymes are in very small quantities, so how are they measured?   measure activity to quantify enzyme concentrations  
🗑
what are the 3 phases of reactions   lag, linear, substrate depletion  
🗑
Lag phase   initial mixing of specimen and reagent, little change noted  
🗑
Linear phase   zero order kinetic prevails, absorbance change becomes constant over time  
🗑
Substrate depletion   dependant on the amount and activity of the enzyme present in the specimen  
🗑
1U   the amoount of enzyme tht will catalyze the reaction of 1 microole of substrate per minute under specified conditions of temp.,pH, substrate and activators  
🗑
what does photometric measure?   increase product conc, decreased substrate conc.,decreased coenzyme conc.,increase conc. of altered coenzyme.  
🗑
what does Mass Assay measure?   protein mass=enzyme concentration,  
🗑
What is Mass Assay used for?   Isoenzyme  
🗑
What has the Mass Assay replace?   Electrophoresis  
🗑
