Enzymes Flashcards
statins are _____ inhibitors
competitive
lineweaver buck noncompetitive inhibition displays _____
decreased Vmax
doubling the [enzyme] does not change the _______
Km
low Km = _____ substrate affinity
high
what does low Km mean?
you will get to 1/2 Vmax faster than a high Km
hexokinase location
tissues
glucokinase location
liver
hexokinase Km
low Km
glucokinase Km
high Km
why does glucokinase have a high Km?
only want to use glucokinase to convert glucose into glycogen stores when there is a high [glucose]
which type of MM enzyme inhibitor can be a transition state analog (like a drug - statin)
competitive inhibitor
where does the competitive inhibitor bind
E
where does the noncompetitive inhibitor bind
E & ES
where does the uncompetitive inhibitor bind
ES
what happens if the E & ES are bound to an inhibitor at the same time
it is reduced to a noncompetitive inhibition
what happens to Km and Vmax for competitive
Increase Km
No change to Vmax
what happens to Km and Vmax for noncompetitive
No change to Km
Decrease V max
what happens to Km and Vmax for uncompetitive
Decrease Km
Decrease Vmax
Causes a lower [ES]
what kind of inhibitors are slow acting cholinesterase inhibitors
uncompetitive
what kind of bond do irreversible inhibitors form
covalent (kills them)
