EXAM 2

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

Term
Definition
Allosteric enzyme   An enzyme that has multiple and regulatory active sites.It controls the metabolic pathways through environmental signals, including the final product.Its kinetics are complex  
🗑
Reversible inhibitors   Competive, uncompetitive,and noncompetive  
🗑
Irreversible inhibitors   Group specific reagents,affinity labels,suicide inhibitors, transition state analogs  
🗑
Reversible inhibition characteristics   -rapid dissociation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex -rapid dissiciation of the inhibitor with the enzyme  
🗑
Competive inhibition   the inhibitor resembles the substrate and binds to the active site of the enzyme.An enzyme can bind substrate forming an ES complex or inhibitor EI.  
🗑
competive unhibition kinetics   increases KM No change on Vmax Can be overcome by increasing substrate concentration Graph is a V with the same Y-intercept  
🗑
Uncompetive inhibition   It is substrate-dependent inhibition in that the inhibitor binds only to the enzyme-substrate complex (ES)  
🗑
uncompetitive inhibition kinetics   lowers Vmax Lovers KM Parallel graph, different x and Y intercept  
🗑
Noncompetitive inhibition   The inhibitor and the substrate can bind simultaneously to an enzyme molecule at different binding sites. Decreases the overall number of active enzymes  
🗑
Noncompetitive inhibition kinetics   Lowers apparent Vmax KM is unchanged the graph is a V with the same x-intercept and different y-intercept  
🗑
Irreversible inhibitor characteristics   It dissociates very slowly from its target enzyme because it has become tightly bound to the enzyme, either covalently or noncovalently  
🗑
Group-specific reagents   Modify specific R groups of amino acids Ex: Nerve gas DIPF react with serine residues  
🗑
Affinity labels, also called substrate analogs   They are structurally similar to the substrate, inhibit enzymes by covalently modifying active sites residues Ex: TPCK reacts with His 57 in chymotrypsin  
🗑
Suicide Inhibitors, or mechanism-based inhibitors   They chemically modify the substrates. The enzyme starts the reaction but the inhibitor forms a reactive intermediate that inactivates the enzyme covalently modifying it. Ex: Penicillin  
🗑
Transition-state analogs    
🗑


   

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.
