CC LEC 2 - Enzymes Flashcards
most enzymes react at pH __but some are active in wider pH ranges
7.0- 8.0,
ALP –
pH
pH 9.0-10.0
Gastric enzyme – pH
pH 6.0
For each ?°C increase in temp. reaction rate doubles
until the protein is denatured
10
– should always be provided in excess so that the extent of the reaction does not depend on its concentration
Cofactors
What are measured in measurement of enz activity? (4)
INC in product
DEC in substrate
DEC in coenzyme
INC in altered coENZ
In coupled ENZ assay,
-what catalyzes its reaction, product formed becomes a substrate of intermediate reaction.
enzyme under analysis
In coupled ENZ assay,
-what produces an intermediate product that will be the substrate for the final reaction
Intermediate auxiliary enzyme
What absorbs light at 340 nm while NAD does not)
NADH
Usually involves the conversion of NAD to NADH or vice versa [what enzyme type in coupled ENZ)
indicator enzyme
catalyzes the final reaction
indicator enzyme
method for couple ENZ assay
measures single absorbance at fixed time, reaction is assumed to be linear over fixed time
fixed time
method for couple ENZ assay
multiple absorbances are measured
Continuous monitoring/kinetic assay
method for couple ENZ assay
more accurate because any deviation from linearity is readily observed
Continuous monitoring/kinetic assay
*most common cause of deviation from linearity
occurs when the enzyme is so elevated that all substrate is used early in the reaction time
Units to report enzyme levels when enzymes are quantified relative to
their activity rather than a direct measurement of concentration
Activity Units
amount of enzyme that will catalyze the reaction of 1umol of substance per minute under specified conditions
IU
Enzyme activity SI unit –
katal (mol/s)
How many nkat is in 1.0IU?
1.0 IU = 17nkat
When will enz act as REAGENTS
measure non enzymatic constituents like glucose, cholesterol
Enzymes as __
Used for methods quantifying substrates for the corresponding enzyme
Reagent
– chemically bonded to adsorbents such as agarose
Immobilized Enzyme
Systematic name of CK
Creatine-N-phosphotransferase
MW of CK
82000 Daltons
ENZ assoc with ATP regeneration
CK
Creatine + ATP (catalyzed by CK) will yield
creatine phosphate + ADP
