dehydrogenases
Transferase example
transfer rxn.

ATP + glucose -> G6P + ADP
Hydrolases

Enzyme class
catalyze hydrolysis- adding parts of water to molecule to split

Proteases
What do enzymes do theoretically to catalyze rxns?

What is the implication here?
Help substrate get through transition state (S‡) easier by lowering the free energy of activation (∆G‡ ) as the substrate transitions to lower energy product.

Enzymes will only catalyze rxns that will happen anyway (product is at lower G i.e. rxn has -∆G)
How do enzymes catalyze?

Why is this important for kinetics?
Bind transition states S‡ which lowers ∆G‡

The velocity (V) of rxn depends on ∆G‡
Formation of the _____-_______ complex: E + S <-> ES

The __________ are bound in the _____ _____ of enzymes.
enzyme-substrate
substrates active sites
Rxn velocity is dependent variable of
concentration of substrate
Description of typical active sites
Contains the catalytic residues
Tend to be a small part of the enzyme
3D, often clefts or crevices
How all do active sites keep specificity?
Have multiple weak interactions with substrates to bind (h bonds, van der Waals, etc)

Use geometry of active site (hydrophobic pockets, anion hole)
What are the two active site geometry models?
Lock and key model. Substrate fits exactly.
Induced fit model: Kind of close to substrate form but not exactly. Puts it in the orientation you want.
Enzyme kinetics: V
Number of mols of product formed per second
Enzyme kinetics: K_m_ (2 definitions)

Equation using constants
concentration of S at which rxn rate is half the maximal rate (V_max_); [S] where have of E active sites are occupied

Km = k-1 + k2 / k1 = rate of ES breakdown/rate of ES formation
What are the rules of making enzyme kinetic graph?
Fixed total concentration of enzyme [E_T_]
_________-___________ Model of Enzyme Kinetics

E + S <k1 and k-1> ES --k2-> E + P
Two assumptions.
What is V?
Michaelis-Menten Model

k and k-1 are not necessarily equal
Assumes P will not go backwards to S

V = k_2_[ES]
Michaelis-Menten Model
E + S <k1 and k-1> ES --k2-> E + P

Rate of formation of ES?
Rate of breakdown of ES?
What is steady state rate?
ES = k1[E][S]
ES = (k-1 + k2)[ES]

At steady state [ES] remains constant, [S] and [P] changing
Vmax
Maximal rate. Happens when [S] >> Km.
Michaelis-Menten equation

V = Vmax* [S]/([S] + Km)

What two conclusions do we draw from this?
Higher the [S] the closer V is to Vmax

Km is equal to [S] at which V = Vmax
What's the straight line version of Michaelis-Menten?
Lineweaver-Burk Plot
What does Lineweaver-Burk Plot show?

What can you infer when comparing different rxns?
slope = Km/Vmax
y Intercept is 1/Vmax
x intercept is -1/Km

The type of inhibition based on changes in intercepts
Km is really a measure/reflection of what?

High/low values of Km reflect what?

What does Km values mean for speed of the enzyme?
How well the substrate binds. It's the dissociation constant for the breakdown of ES complex

High value shows weak binding (high k-1)

Not much. Not directly related to kinetics.
If k-1 >> k2 then Km is a measure of
strength of ES complex
Vmax defined twice
Maximal catalytic rate

All enzymes have filled active site
Turnover number

How can you use it in equation?
Number of S converted to P /second when enzyme is fully saturated

It's a constant for a given enzyme (k2)

Vmax = k2[Et]

Usually the transfer of a _________ ______.
In an oxidation-reduction rxt, ____ are transferred.

Two classes:
functional group
electrons

sequential displacement and double displacement
In a sequential displacement rxn...

In a bisubstrate rxn, a _________ complex is formed

What are the two sub classes of this reaction?
all substrates must bind enzyme before rxn starts

ternary

Sequential ordered and Random sequential
Sequential displacement: Sequential ordered

Example
Order of substrate binding and product release matters (all must be present before rxn)

lactate dehydrogenase
NADH then Pyruvate, rxn, then let go lactate then NAD+
Sequential displacement: Random sequential

What characterizes these enzymes?

Example
Doesn't matter which substrate binds first or which produce is released first (all must be present before rxn)

Tend to have more open active sites.

So creatine kinase + ATP to phosphocreatine + ADP
Double displacement mechanism type (and another name)

In these rxns there is a _______ _______ intermediate.
ping-pong rxn
E + S1 -> -P1 and E+group-> + S2 -> P2 + E

substituted enzyme
_______ enzymes do not follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

What kind of curve on kinetics chart?
Allosteric

sigmoidal
What inhibits enzyme?

Two classes of inhibition
Natural biological regulation but also drugs and toxic agents.

Reversible or irreversible (likely covalent, inhibitor doesn't come off)
Two types of reversible inhibition and general idea of them.
Competitive (usually higher affinity than substrate) and noncompetitive (non active site interaction that makes enzyme have lesser affinity for substrate)
How do the two reversible inhibitor types affect kinetics of rxn?
Competitive: Vmax unchanged, Km increased
Can overcome by increasing [S]

Noncompetitive: Decreases Vmax, Km unchanged
can't overcome with [S]
Reading Lineweaver plot what to focus on to tell inhibition type?
x intercept for Km
y intercept for Vmax
What makes a good inhibitor?

Example
transition state analog

Proline racemase inhibited by planar molecule that looks like transition state
IC_50_
effectiveness of drug is usually given as IC_50_

An IC_50_ is concentration of inhibitor/drug at which half the maximal enzyme activity.

It's unfortunative because IC50 depends on situation in which it's measured
3 classes of irreversible inhibition
group-specific - bind to specific side chains

affinity labels - structurally similar ot substrate but then covalently modify active site
.
.
Suicide inhibitors
mechanism-based inhibitor

bind as substrate and normal catalytic activity starts but then the inhibitor produces a reactive species that covalently binds to the enzyme
how does penicillin work?
irreversible inhibition: suicide inhibitor. blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis.

gram positive bacteria has peptidoglycan wall
