Chapter 9 Flashcards

1
Q

What is binding Energy?

A

Binding energy is the free energy released in the formation of a large number of weak interactions between the enzyme and substare. Free energy released by substrate binding to active site (ES).

Icrease substrate specificity

Increase in Catalytic efficiency

Q

What are the different catalytic strategies?

A
  1. Colvalent Catalysis: Active site has a reactive functional group that is temporarily covalently attached to a part of the substrate in the course of catalysis. (covalently modified) and example would be chymotrpisin
  2. General Acid-Base Catalysis: A molecule other than water acts as a proton donor or acceptor. (i.e. chycotrpisin)
  3. Metal Ion Catalysis: Stabilize charge at active site, generation of nucleophiles
  4. _ Catalysis by approximation: _The substrates are brought closely together to facilitate the reaction.

Q

What is serine protease-chymotrpsin?

A

It cleaves peptide bonds selectively on the carboxyl terminal side of the large hydrophobic amino aicds.

In addition to breaking down peptide bonds, some proteases can act on substrates

Q

There are two phases?

A
  1. Acylation Phase (associated with this) and the burst phase. Acyl group of the substrate becomes covalently attached to the enzyme as the yellow product is released. It forms an acyl enzyme intermediate
  2. Deacylation phase in the presence of water molecule steady state phase

Q

What is DIPF?

A

DIPF is a group of specific inhibitor it modifies the OH group but it only binds to Ser 195.

Enzyme was treated with DIF and the group was a specific inhibitor adn reacts with speicifc functional groups

Q

What is the Catalytic Triad?

A

Key players in reaction mechanism

SErine is part of a catalytic triad that also includes histidine and asparate

Serine has an OH and is involved in acylation

Hisitidine starts out neutral, acts as a proton donor

Aspartate helps stabilize imidazole ring on hisitidine

Q

The oxyanion Hold is part of the acitve site.

The structure stabilizes the tetrahedral intermediate of the chemotrpsin reaction.

Note: hydrogen bonds link peptide NH groups adn teh negatively charged oxygen atom of teh intermediate

If i mutated the protein and altered the amino acids that form the oxyanion hole, which of the folling woudl i be.

Q

Describe serine proteases

A

catalytic triad

secreted by the panceras zymogens

DIPF are reacted with this similar mechanisms of actions

Chymotrypsin involves amino acids with aromatic rings the S1 poket is hydrophobic

Tyrpsin has a positively charged side chain

substrate will ahve a positive charge and the negative charge
