Complex I of the ETC | NADH dehydrogenase |
Complex III of the ETC | Cytochrome c reductase |
Complex IV of the ETC | Cytochrome oxidase |
On the surfae of the inner membrane, this enzyme reoxidizes gly-3P to DHAP. | Glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase |
Catalyzes the breakdown of superoxides to water and hydrogen peroxide | Superoxide dismutase (SOD) |
Catalyzes dismutation | Superoxide dismutase (SOD) |
Catalyzes the decomposition of of hydrogen peroxide | Catalase |
Four enzymes that are the body's first line of enzymatic defense against oxidative damage. | Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase, Glutathione peroxidase, Peroxiredoxins |
Aresenate prevents ATP production by this enzyme | Phosphoglycerate kinase |
Flourine inhibits this enzyme | Enolase |
Inhibited by quinolones, nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin | DNA gyrase of E. coli |
The enzyme required for the metabolism of alcohol. | Aldehyde dehydrogenase |
Inhibition of this enzyme in the liver stimulates LDL receptors, leading to an increased clearance of LDL from the bloodstream and a decrease in blood cholesterol level | HMGCoA reductase |
This enzyme cleaves fatty acids from triacyglycerol | Lipase |
This enzyme complex forms fatty acids up to chain length | Fatty acid synthase |
This enzyme splits off the polar head group leaving diacyglycerol (DAG) and the phosphorylated polar head group. | Phospholipase C |
The family of stating drugs lower cholesterol by inhibiting this enzyme | HMGCoA reductase |
This enzyme overcomes the irreversible pyruvate kinase reaction in glycolysis | Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase |
True or False: Each enzyme has a pH optimum at which it best functions. | True |
True or False: Enzymes function equally well at any pH. | False |
True or False: Enzyme show specificity for one stereoisomer of a molecule over the other stereoisomer. | True |
True or False: Enzymes do no show specificity for one stereosiomer of a molecule over the other stereoisomer. | False |
True or False: The increase in rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with increasing substrate is saturable. | True |
True or False: The increase in rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with increasing substrate is not saturable. | False |
True of False: Catalysis of enzymes depends solely on the amino acid side chains of enzymes. | False |
HIV protease belongs to which class of protease? | Aspartate |
True or False: Inhibition of an enzyme by a competitive inhibitor can be overcome with excess of substrate. | True |
True or False: Inhibition of an enzyme by a competitive inhibitor can not be overcome with excess of substrate. | False |
True or False: Inhibition of an enzyme by a competitive inhibitor is reversible. | True |
True or False: Inhibition of an enzyme by a competitive inhibitor is irreversible. | False |
This enzyme has three active sites whose affinity for ATP change with proton movement | ATP synthase |
The toxic effects of cyanide are due to _________________. | inhibition of cytochrome oxidase (Complex IV) |
This enzyme catalyzes an anaplerotic reaction in the TCA cycle. | Pyruvate carboxylase |
This enzyme converts lactate to pyruvate in the Cori cycle | Hepatic lactate dehydrogenase |
This enzyme is unique to the Pentose Phosphate Pathway | Transketolase |
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site and is acted upon by the enzyme just as if it was a normal substrate. The enzyme uses its own catalytic machinery to inactivate itself. | Suicide inhibitor |
This type of inhibitor binds to the enzyme and takes it out of commission, although it does not bind to the active site. | Non-competitive inhibitor |
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site and competes with the substrate for its occupation. | Competitive inhibitor |
An enzyme that removes a ph0sphate from the substrate. | Phosphatase |
Synthesizes cAMP. | Adenylyl cyclase |
cAMP stimulates the activity of this enzyme. | Protein kinase A |
True or False: Protein kinase A is stimulated by removal of an inhibitory subunit. | True |
True or False: Protein kinase A is inhibited by removal of an inhibitory subunit. | False |
This enzyme hydrolyses PIP2 to produce DAG and IP3. | Phospholipase C |
