Enzyme inhibitors

Question 1

How does allopurinol bind

Answer 1

Non covalently
Binds to serine on xanthine oxidase which mimics hypoxanthine

Question 2

What does allopurinol prevent

Answer 2

Production of uric acid

Question 3

Aspirin

Answer 3

irreversible, covalent inhibitor
Binds covalently to serine of COX and inhibits production of prostaglandins which cause pain and swelling

Question 4

How do organophosphates bind

Answer 4

Covalently

Question 5

What does organophosphates do

Answer 5

Irreversible covalent inhibitor
Binds to sarin nerve gas and pesticides
Binds to serinde residue on acetylcholinesterase
-can’t break down Ach and causes paralysis

Question 6

What kind of inhibitor is allopurinol

Answer 6

Suicide

Question 7

What kind of enzyme is penicillin

Answer 7

Suicide, transition state analog

Question 8

What does penicillin inhibit

Answer 8

glycopeptide aminotransferase

Question 9

What does penicillin do

Answer 9

Suicide inhibitor
Pretends to be glycopeptide transpeptidase which cleaves bacterial cell wall
Active site serine attacks it and gets stuck

Answer 10

18 (s)

Question 11

How many carbons in palmitic acid

Answer 11

Answer 14

Glu, His, Asp
Conditional: Lys, Ser, Tyr, Cys, Arg

Question 15

Covalent catalysts

Answer 15

His, Lys, Ser, Cys

Question 16

What type of inhibitor is statin

vmax/km

Question 23

[S]»km

Answer 23

vmax

Question 24

Hexokinase I

Answer 24

Present in RBC
works at vmax so that RBC always has energy

Question 25

Glucokinase

Answer 25

Present in hepatocytes
Rate depends on serum glucose

Question 26

Answer 27

decreases

Question 28

X intercept of LWB

Answer 28

-1/km

Question 29

Slope of LWB

Answer 29

Km/vmax

Question 30

Y intercept of LWB

Answer 30

1/vmax

Question 31

What does an x-intercept close to 0 mean on LWB

Answer 31

Higher Km

Question 32

What does a high y-intercept on LWB mean

Answer 32

Lower vmax

Question 33

LWB equation

Answer 33

1/v0=km/vmax(1/[S]) + 1/vmax

Question 34

Irreversible inhibitors

Answer 34

Bind extremely tightly to enzyme or form covalent bond

Question 35

Competitive inhibition can be reversed by

Answer 35

Increasing substrate concentration

Question 36

What is the only thing that can increase vmax

Answer 36

Adding enzyme

Question 37

Why does Km decrease in uncompetitive inhibibition

Answer 37

Equilibrium shifts right to get rid of ES
