5 assumptions for michaelis-menton equation
1) Catalysis the rate limiting step
2)Initial velocity (reverse reaction is 0)
3) Steady State
4) [S]>>>>>>> [ES]
5) [ET] = [EF] + [E-S]
3 necessary reasons to regulate enzyme activity
1) Biological efficiency
2) Biological Flexibility
3) Control of competing reactions
4 features that make proteins good catalysts
1) High Reaction Rates
2) Specificity: highly substrate and stereospecific, no side products
3) Mild reaction rates: can occur at biological pH, temp and pressure
4)Can be regulated: allowing for metabolic flexibility
Role of Ser195 in Chymotrypsin catalysis?
attacks the carbonyl carbon in the peptide bond breaking the bond by covalent catalysis
Role of Asp102 in chymotrypsin catalysis?
The negative charge on Asp stabilizes the positive charge on His that forms during the cleavage of the peptide bond
Role of His57 in chymotrypsin catalysis?
Acts as a base to remove the H from serine. The proton is then donated to the amide N of the peptide bond during bond
cleavage. The His then abstracts a proton from water, during the hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme
intermediate. The proton is than restored to Ser195 to regenerate the enzyme as product is
released.
