Enzymes Flashcards
specific proteins that catalyze biochemical reaction without altering the equilibrium point of the reaction or being consumed or changed in composition.
Enzymes
Clinically significant enzymes are _____ protein
Intracellular
Other substances in the rxn that is converted to product
Substrate
number, type, and sequence of amino acids
Primary structure
Linear sequence of amino acid
Primary sequence
commonly formed arrangements stabilized by hydrogen bonds between nearby amino acids within the protein molecule.
Secondary structure
Secondary structure are commonly formed arrangements stabilized by _____
Hydrogen bonds
overall shape of the protein molecule.
Tertiary structure
results from the interaction of more than one protein molecule, or protein subunits, referred to as multimer, that functions as a single unit.
Quaternary structure
substance acted upon by the enzyme
Substrate
water free cavity, where the substrate interacts
with particular charged amino acid residues
Active site
cavity other than the active site
Allosteric site
Allosteric site is where ____ molecules binds
Regulator
cavity other than the active site; binds the regulator molecules
Allosteric site
What part of the enzyme does the substrate bind to?
Active site
enzymes with same function but exist in different forms
Isozenzyme
Example of an isoenzyme
Creatine Kinase
Forms of enzymes that were post-transcriptionally modified
Isoforms
Isoforms are _____ modified
Post transcriptionally
non-CHON molecule necessary for enzyme activity
Cofactors
Two types of cofactors
Activator
Coenzyme
Inorganic cofactor
Activator
Organic cofactor
Coenzyme
Coenzyme + enzyme =
Prosthetic group
