Enzymes Flashcards
What affect enzyme reactions
Concentration of reactants
pH
Temperature
Ionic Strength
Whats the optimum T of enzymes
37C
Competitive inhibitor
binds free enzyme at the active site
Noncompetitive inhibitor
binds at the site other than active site
Uncompetitive inhibitor
binds only to enzyme substrate complex
Creatine Kinases isoenzymes
CK1 = BB; Brain Ck2 = MB; Heart Ck3 = MM; muscle
What does trauma causes? What about MI?
Increases MB but <3%,
MI >6%
Lactate Dehydrogenase
catalyzes interconversion of lactic to pyruvate
H transfer enzyme, uses NAD
Main source of LD
Liver, heart, muscle and kidneys
What are the two enzymes that catalyze interconversion of aminos (Aminotransferase)
AST and ALT
AST - Aspartate transaminase
Increases in hepatocellular damage, cirrhosis and carcinoma
ALT - Alanine transaminase
more specific than AST for hepatocellular damage, cirrhosis and carcinoma
GGT
highest in biliary obstruction and cirrhosis due to alcohol intake
ALP
measure to indicate hepatobiliary disease or bone diseases
Optimun pH of ALP
