turnover number
27
names of enzymes usually end in ___
ase
28
enzymes are grouped based on the
reaction they catalyze
29
oxidoreductase
oxidation reduction reactions
30
transferase
transfer function groups
31
hydrolase
hydrolysis
32
lyase
removal of atoms without hydrolysis
33
isomerase
rearrangement of atoms
34
ligase
joining of molecules uses ATP
35
some enzymes consist entirely of
proteins
36
most enzymes consist of
apoenzyme and cofactor
37
apoenzyme
protein portion (inactive when alone)
38
apoenzyme must be activated by
cofactor
39
cofactor
nonprotein component
40
if the cofactor is organic then it is known as
coenzyme
41
holoenzyme
apoenzyme plus cofactor (whole active enzyme form)
42
assist enzymes by being electron carriers
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotude phosphate (NADP+) flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzyme A (CoA)
43
many coenzymes are derived from
vitamins
44
2 most important enzyme components
NAD+ and NADP+
45
NAD+ is primarily involved in
catabolic
46
NADP+ is primarily involved in
anabolic
47
NAD+ and NADP+ both contain derivatives of B vitamin ____ and both function as _________ ___
niacin, electron carriers
48
FAD is a derivative of the b vitamin ______ and functions as a _________
riboflavin, electron carrier
49
CoA is a derivative of the b vitamin _______ and this functions as
Pantothenic acid, synthesis and breakdown of fats and is in the Krebs cycle
50
as the temp increases the chemical reactions
increase
51
high temp and extreme pH can
denature proteins
52
if the concentration of substrate is high the enzyme catalyzes at is
maximum rate
53
inhibitors can either be
competitive or noncompetitive
54
competitive inhibitors
fill the active site of an enzyme and compete with the substrate
55
inhibitors can be
reversible or irreversible
56
competitive inhibitors chemical make up is similar to
normal substrate
57
competitive inhibitors go or do not go under reaction?
DO NOT
58
noncompetitive inhibitors
interact with another part of the enzyme rather than the active site
59
noncompetitive inhibitors bind with the
allosteric site
60
noncompetitive inhibitors undergo allosteric _______
inhibtion
61
noncompetitive inhibitors indirectly change the shape of the
active site, rendering the enzyme nonfunctional
62
feedback inhibition
end product of a reaction allosterically inhibits enzymes from earlier in the pathway
63
feedback inhibition stops the cell from making more of a substance than it needs and keeps it from wasting
chemical resources
64
ribozymes
RNA that functions as catalysts by binding to substrates and acting upon them
65
ribozymes are or are not used up in the reaction?
not used up
66
ribozymes are frequently used in cells to
cut and splice RNA
67
ribozymes are also involved in
protein synthesis in ribosomes
