|
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) |

_________-___________ 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

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 |

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] |
|

x intercept for Km
y intercept for Vmax |
