Enzymes Flashcards
catalyze oxidation reduction reactions
Oxidoreductase
What are some examples of Oxioreductases?
dehydrogenases
catalyze transfer of some groups from one substrate to other
Transferases
What are some examples of transferases?
Kinases
catalyze hydrolysis reactions by adding H2O
Hydrolases
What are some examples of Hydolases?
Gastrointestinal digestive enzymes
catalyze the breakdown of compound without adding H2O
Lysases
catalyze isomerization reactions
Isomerases
What are some examples of isomerases?
Recemase or mutase
catalyze ligation reaction
Ligases
What are the ABCs that ligases need?
ATP, Biotin, CO2
What is ∆G <0?
Thermodynamically spontaneous (energy released, often irreversible)
What is ∆G >0?
thermodynamically non-spontaneous (energy required)
What is ∆G =0?
reaction at equilibrium (freely reversible)
What are three important factors that affect enzyme activity?
- substrate concentration
- temperature
- pH
What are 4 other factors that affect enzyme activity?
- Enzyme concentration itself
- product concentration
- presence of activators or inhibitors
- availability of coenzymes
What is the Michaelis-Menten equation?
V1= Vmax[S]/{Km +[S]}
What does a small/low Km represent?
high affinity of the enzyme
What are the classes of enzymes? (Think Over the HILL)
Oxidorreductase Transferases Hydrolass Isomerase Lysases Ligases
What is seen in the competitive inhibition graph?
they cross; no change in vmax, km increases
What is seen in the non-competitive inhibition graph?
they don’t cross; no change in km, vmax decreases
What is the Lineweaver-Burk equation?
1/v = [(km1/vmaxs)+ (1/vmax)]
What is the km for hexokinase?
.05mM
What is the km for glucokinase?
5mM
What do Statin drugs inhibit?
HMG-CoA reductase
Negative allosteric effectors cause what shift in the reaction curve?
Right
Enzymes following michaelis menten kinetics show what curve?
Hyperbolic
