Are most enzymes proteins, and small exception
YES, exception is catalytic RNA
What does enzyme activity depends on
native protein conformation
What other other compenents some enzymes require for activity
cofactors and coenzymes
What are cofactors are they used up in a reaction
are non-protein groups that bind to the enzyme--NOT USED UP IN A REACTION
What are coenzymes, and are they used up
subtrate for an enxymes, acts as transient carreries of a chemical (USED UP)
Although coenzymes are USED UP, what at they kept at in cell
CONSTANT, steady state
What is an example of a coenzyme
Tetrahydrofolate, coenzyme for Thymidylate Synthase
What is Thymidylate Synthase considered
as a target for cancer theryapy since cancer cell replicate rapidly
What is an example of a cofactor
MG+2--require for ATPase's
What is a prosteic group
non-proteib that is tightly bond to enzyme
Most chemical reations are very slow, so what are benifits of enzymes
speed up chemical reaction so they occur at useful rate
Where do enzyme-catylzed reaction take placew
within the pocket of enzyme called active site
What is the molecule call that binds to the active site
substrate
2 points What is surface of active site lined with
aa's, which SPECIALLY recognized substrate, and accelerate the chemical reaction
Does specificity guarantee rate acceleration
NO
Is equilibrium affected by a catlyst
NO
Does Keq remain constant, what happens if you add P
so P would convert back to S
NEgative G determines that reaction will occur spontaneously, but it says nothing about
RATE
Is it true that once a TS is formed a single bond vibration is suffient to push the reaction to either S or P
YES
What does the rate of reaction depend on and related to G
rate at which ground strutres can form TS--Larger G, slowers the reaction, samller G inrease reaction
Is TS a reaction intermideate
NO, IT DOES NOT EXISTS
What is ground state
starting point of reaction
IF bond formation is favorable H is, and was is H if unfavorable
H is NEGATIVE is favorable
H + is UNFAVORABLE
Is Positve S favorble and mean--
YES, ENTROPY (disorder always increases), number of configuations available to sysmtem
What is the reaction RATE or velocity determined by
k (rate constant) and teh concetnration of reactants
Is rate constant the reaction rate
NO--reaction rate depends on both constant, and concentration of reactants
What happens to rate constant with a high G, and larger activation barrier
smaller rate CONSTANT, and SLOWER VELOCITY
What does RATE constant really mean for 2-1s
PERCENTAGE or probability that S will react to form P in one sec
How do catalyst speed up chemical reactions
by stabilizing the TS so G of transition state is lowered
What kind of interactions does substrate form with active site of enzyems
H-bonding, salt bridges, adn hydrophobics
Must the shape of the active site accomdate the substrate
YES
Must the H bonding donors and acceptors adn charged groups be precisley POSITION in active site
YES
Since teh TS corresponds to a single structure, are bond rotations available
NO
What is H, and S in TS
H is positive (unfavorble
-S (unfavorable
How do enzymes stablize teh TS
enzymes active site poisition has specific aa side chain to interact with TS, such forming noncovalant bonds
What is realtion ship bettwen G S, and H
G=$H-$T$S
Where is formation of TS more favorable in the bulk solution, or within the active site
TS in active (catlyzed) reaction is less unfavorable (still unfavorable)--activation barrier is lowered
How can active site greatly increase reaction probability in terms of proimity
the active site can posiition the molecules precisely, so that functional groups A+B face each other, and can react
Does reaction rate icnrease due to active site proximity effect
YES
Is the enzyme completmentary to substrate
NO, this would stablize the substrate this is LOCK and KEY bad
What is the enzyme completmentary to
TRANSITION STATE, only a few aa code for binding of substrate, then rest are complementary to transition state--THIS IS INDUCED FIT
3 Types of Chemistry enzymes use
general acid/base catalysis
metal ion catalysis
covalent catalysis
What is used for specific base catalysis, adn specific acid catalysis
WATER base -OH
acid H30+
What is used for gernal base catalysis
COO-, NH2, S-, O-,
What is used for gernal acid catalyst
COOH, NH3+,
What amino acid perform acid/base catalysis
HAL, AG, Serine, Cysteine, Tyrosine
What is metal ion catalysis
metal ions can be poisitioned to stablize charged TS
Requirements for covalent catalysis
catalyst must be a better nucleophile than water, adn covalent imtermediate must be removed by water (hydrolysis)
What G is affected in enzyme catalysis
NOT stand G0---ONLY G in the transistion state
What is pre-steady kinetics
when the enzyme is first mixed with a large excess of substrate ES concentrations increase-
What is kinetics is mointor approach of catalyzed reaction
pre-steady state
What kinetcs the the reaction velocity measured
ONLY steady STATE
In what state is ES constant
steady state
What is steady state
EQUILIBRIUM that the rate of formation of ES is equal to rate of breakdown
What must be in great concentration for a SS to occur
substrate
When is Km equal to the substrate concentration
Vo=0.5 Vmax
What determines Velocity max
when enzyme is saturated, kcatX E0
What is KCat
how much substrate is being converted to product, equal to rate and K2
What is Km
AMOUNT substrate concentration wehre V0=.5 Vmax
What is catalytic perfection
enzymes that turnover substrate as fast as the enzyme and substrate diffuse together
For any schemes werhe the enzyme has a single active site, the SS kinetic will be what type of curve
hyperbolic curve
When is Km=KD
K-1> K2 and ES>EP
When is Kcat equal to K1
when Substrate concentration is less then So<Km
What are 3 types of inhibition
competivie, uncompetitive and mixed
What is competive inhibition
the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the binding site of the enzyme
What values are affected by competive inhibition
km is increased, b/c inhibitor is binding to enzymes Kcat not affected, b/c it is RATE as which ES becomes product
How can competeive inhibition be overcome
add more substrate
What is uncompetive inhbitior
the inhibitior binds at a site distinct from activfe site

What is drug benefit of suicidie inactivators
unreactive until reaches enzymes active site, so few side effects
What type of inhibition is Vmax the same
competive
What are allosteric enzymes function
change shape when molecules binds, servee as regulatory checkpoints along various pathways
What are regions of allosteric enzymes
have both catlytic domains, adn regulatory domains
Where does positive effector molecules bind to activate cataylsis
to regulatory--WHICH ACTIVES catalytic domain
What is homotropic coopertativity
wehere an allosteric enzymes may be activated by its own substrate
Why is allosteric modulation so important
small changes in effector or substrate concentration, can result in large changes in enzyme activity--turn on or OFF
