4 factors effecting Enzyme rate |
1. [Enzyme]: high rate with high [ ] 2.[Substrate]: high [s]=high V 3. T: ~50C (>50 denatures protein) 4. pH: specific to enzyme |
|
Formula for Enzyme Velocity from Substrate to product |
V= -- Change in [S]/ change in t =Change in [P]/ change in t |
|
Shape of Velocity vs. Substrate |
Hyperbolic curve indicates:
- high enzyme act. in low [s] - Enzyme saturation with high [S] -Informs speed of E
|
|
What does Michaelis Menten Eqt show
|
It's the rate equation for enzyme catalyzed description of Hyperbolic curve |
|
Km in curve Indicates |
How efficient an E selects its substrate and coverts it to product. It's the [S] when E is 1/2 saturated. |
|
Vmax on graph indicates |
Max reaction velocity when there's high [S] and E becomes saturated |
|
To determine Km |
Vmax must be known = [S] at 1/2 Vmax |
|
Catalytic Rate (K cat) constant determines |
how quickly an enzyme can act. |
|
Eqt for Kcat |
Vmax/ [E] total |
|
Meaning of high Kcat |
Enzyme converts substrate to product right away |
|
What determines catalytic efficiency |
The value of K cat/ Km represents enzyme's overall ability to convert substrate to product than values alone. |
|
What does the Lineweaver Burk Plot do |
Linearizes Michaelis-Menten Kinetics data. Takes the reciprocal |
|
Lineweaver Burk Equation |
1 = (Km) 1 + 1 ___ __________ ___ V (Vmax) [s] Vmax Y= m X + b |
|
Types of enzymes that don't fit the Michaelis Menten Model |
1) Multiple substrate Reaction ( O-R , tranfarase rxn) 2)Multistep reactions 3) Nonhyperbolic reaction ( In oligomeric enzymes with multiple act. site) |
|
Irreversible Inhibition |
Any reagent that COVALENTLY modifies an AA side chain *Suicide substrate: enter enzyme act. site and begin to react just as normal substrate would |
|
Competitive inhibitor |
Bind to the active site of the enzyme resembles substrate in size and chemical properties so it binds to enzyme but lacks electronic structure that allows it to react *high [s] reverses inhibitor |
|
Effects of Competitive inhibitors on Km and Vmas |
-Increase K: inhibitor prevents substrate from reaching act. site and decreases affinity . -Doesnt effect Vmax: Inhibitor binds reversible, allows E to occasionally enter act. site. |
|
Transition state analogs |
Compound mimics transition state and can take advantage of features in act. site in the ways the substrate can't. *Better inhibitors than substrate analogs |
|
Noncompetitive inhibitors |
Binds to sire on the enzyme OTHER THAN act. site. Creates a conformational change that affects structure or chemical properties of act. site |
|
Effects of Vmax, Kcat and Km with NONCOMPETITIVE inhibitors |
Kcat and Vmax: Kcat is affected so Vmax is lowered to the same degree -Km lowered to the same degree |
|
Uncompetitive inhibitors |
Bind to ES complex in multisubstrate Rxn. Prevents reaction from continuing and yielding product |
|
Effect of Uncompetitive inhibitors on Vmax and Km |
Vmax is decreased Km is unchanged |
|
Allosteric regulation |
can inhibit or enhance enzyme activity in oligomeric enzymes (multiple Act. site) |
|
Allosteric feedback inhibition |
When high [I] = shuts down its own synthesis by blocking earlier step |
|
the Negative effector |
A substance that diminishes an enzyme's act through allosteric inhibition |
