Induced fit model:


Substrate binding induces a conformational change in an enzyme

The energy produced by these changes enables the reactions to progress

Enzyme kinetics


Substrate concentration:


Increasing substrate concentration increases reaction rate only until the enzyme binding sites are saturated

Maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) is achieved when any further increase in substrate concentration does not increase reaction rate

Enzyme kinetics


Substrate concentration:


Increasing substrate concentration increases reaction rate only until the enzyme binding sites are saturated

Maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) is achieved when any further increase in substrate concentration does not increase reaction rate

The Michaelis constant (Km) is the

Substrate concentration when the initial reaction velocity is half of the maximum reaction velocity


Illustrated mathematically by the Michaelis- Menten equation

Km reflects the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate


Km is indirectly proportional to enzyme affinity

Vmax is directly proportional to the substrate concentration

Gibbs free energy change

Determines reaction direction


If delta Gs > delta Gp, then delta G will be negative and the reaction will proceed spontaneously toward equilibrium


Equilibrium is attained when delta G=0

Michaelis Menten equation

Vi = Vmax . [S]/ Km + [S]

Delta G provides no information about the reaction rate and is independent of the path of the reaction

Reactions are based on their delta G


Exergonic


Endergonic

Reaction direction

Determined by the delta G

Reaction equilibrium


A. A + B + Enz = C + D + Enz


B. Keq = [C][D][Enz]/ [A][B][Enz]

A: any reaction with enzyme present


B: equilibrium constant of the reaction


Enzymes have no effect on reaction equilibrium

Activation energy

Is the energy needed to initiate a reaction

Reaction rate :


Determined by the activation energy


Attaining activation energy requires an increase in reactant kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is largely influenced by temperature and substrate concentration


Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction accelerating the rate

What are the factors influencing reaction rate

pH


Temperature


Enzyme concentration


Inhibitor concentration


Substrate concentration
