Enzyme kinetics Flashcards
Speeds up reaction
Catalyst
Lowers temp or pressure w/o being consumed
Catalyst
Lowers activation energy
Catalyst
Energy barrier that must be surmounted for a chemical reaction to occur
Activation energy
Lowers activation energy by forming enzyme-substrate complex
Enzymes
structure is highly specific to the reaction they catalyze
Enzymes
Responsible for making or building of chemical bonds
Enzymes
Held together by weak bonds to allow dissociation of the complex when the reaction is finished
Enzyme-substrate complex (ES)
3 types of enzymes
Medical
Industrial
Analytical
Examples of medical enzymes
Asparaginase, proteases, lipases, streptokinase
Examples of industrial enzymes
Lipase, proteases, glocose isomerase
Examples of analytical enzymes
Glucose oxidase, alcohol dehydrogenase
Globular proteins with an active site that acts as catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which the chemical reaction proceed without itself being altered
Enzymes
Lowers activation energy, where the catalysis takes place or where cjem reac occurs
Active site
Specific region of an enzyme where the substrate binds
Active site
Structural element of protein
Active site
Small cleft within an enzyme with a specific wmino acid structure allowing the substrate to bind
Active site
Complementary to its specific substrate shape
Active site
2 models for active sites
- Lock and key model
- Induced fit model
Model where active sites perfect for the substrate, does not require any changes to bind
Lock and key model
Model where active sites is almost complementary to the substrate but when it binds, the enzyme undergoes changes to make the shape better
Induced fit model
More accepted model in interaction of active sites
Induced fit model
Reaction rate of an enzyme reaction and factors associated with it
Enzyme kinetics
Developed to estimate the product yield, selectivity, and reaction time
Enzyme kinetics
Conversion of substrate into products via enzymatic pathways
Enzymatic reaction
Factors affecting enzyme kinetics
Substrate concentration
Enzyme concentration
pH
Temperature
Presence of co-factors
Presence of inhibitors
