CC2 PRELIM (ENZYME, ABG, ELECTROLYTES TUMOR MARKERS) Flashcards
are specific proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the equilibrium point of the reaction or being consumed or changed in composition.
Enzyme
A structure in which each enzyme contains a specific amino acid sequence
primary structure
A structure in which the resultant polypeptide chains adopting bends and turns
secondary structure
A structure in which an enzyme folding into a three-dimensional structure
tertiary structure
refers to the binding and interactions between the subunits.
quaternary structure
results when an enzyme is subject to posttranslational modifications with a functional group added to an amino acid.
isoform
it catalyzes an oxidation–reduction reaction between two substrates.
oxidoreductases
it catalyzes the transfer of a group other than hydrogen from one substrate to another.
Transferases
catalyze hydrolysis of various bonds.
hydrolases
catalyze the removal of groups from substrates without hydrolysis; the product contains
double bonds.
lyases
catalyze the interconversion of geometric, optical, or positional isomers.
isomerases
catalyze the joining of two substrate molecules, coupled with the breaking of the pyrophosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or a similar compound.
ligases
In EC number code, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd number represent the
classification, subclass, and subsubclass
what classification is aldolase
lyases
ALP and ACP is what classification
hydrolases
AST, ALT, CK, and Pyruvate kinase is what classification
transferases
LD, G6PD, and Glutamate dehydrogenase is what classification
oxidoreductases
The excess energy needed to induce the transition state
is called
activation energy
it is based on the premise that the shape of the key (substrate) must fit into the lock (enzyme)
Emil Fisher’s/Lock and Key Theory
It is based on the substrate binding to the active site of the enzyme
Kockland’s/Induced Fit Theory
meaning that the enzyme combines with only one substrate and catalyzes only one corresponding reaction.
absolute specificity
enzyme combined with all the substrates in a chemical group is called
group specificity
enzyme reacting with specific chemical bonds is known as
bond specificity
the rate of the reaction is directly
proportional to substrate concentration.
first-order reaction
the reaction rate depends only on enzyme concentration
zero-order reaction
A method of measurement where the reaction proceeds for a designated time
fixed time
A method of measurement where multiple measurements of changes in absorbance are made during the reaction
continuous monitoring/kinetic assay
these are nonprotein entities that often bind to particular enzymes and provide a necessary function before a reaction occurs.
cofactors
these are organic compound
coenzymes
examples of coenzymes
NAD and NADP
this may be essential for the reaction or may only enhance the reaction rate in proportion to concentration and it alternates the spatial configuration of the enzyme for proper substrate binding, linking substrate to the enzyme or coenzyme, or undergoing oxidation or reduction.
activators
these are inorganic ion attached to a molecule
metalloenzymes
metalloenzymes examples are
catalase and cytochrome oxidase
it physically binds to the active site of an enzyme but the inhibition is also reversible
competitive inhibitor
it does not compete with the substrate but looks for areas other than the active site (allosteric site)
non-competitive inhibitor
the inhibitor binds to the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex
uncompetitive inhibitor
these are enzymes having the same catalytic reactions but slightly different molecular structures
isoenzymes
most physiologic reactions occur in the pH range of
pH 7-8
ideal temperature for the preservation of enzymes
-20 degree celcius
ideal temperature for the preservation of substrate and coenzymes
2-8 degree celcius
ideal temperature for the preservation of LDH
22 degree celcius
ALP reference value
30-90 U/L
In normal pregnancy increased ALP is detected between
16-20 weeks
What blood type have elevated ALP level
B and O blood group
In what disease is elevated ALP is seen
Paget’s disease
B1x isoform is used to study
low bone mineral disease (BMD)
what isoform of ALP is used to study BMD
B1x
it is ALP found in the lungs and the most heat stable
Regan ALP
Regan ALP is stable at
at 65 degrees celsius for 30 minutes
this ALP is inhibited by L-leucine and Phenylalanine
Nagao ALP
what isoenzyme of ALP is the most anodal
liver and bone ALP
what is used to separate Liver and Bone ALP
neuraminidase and wheat germ lectin
heat fractionation /stability test is performed at
56 C for 10-15 mins
Decreasing order of ALP heat stability
placental, intestinal, liver and bone ALP
Phenylalanine inhibits what ALP isoenzymes
placental, intestinal, nagao, and regan ALP
ALP is inhibited by
phosphorus
