______ catalyzes the intercom version between glucose 1phosphate and glucose 6phosphate.
Phosphoglucomutase
Un favorable energetics can be over come by manipulating the substrate and product concentrations. Often times the product will be used as _____ in the subsequent reactions that have _____ free energy changes.
Substrates
Negative
The enzyme ______ uses ATP in the first step of glycolysis to add phosphate to the 6 carbon of glucose.
Hexokinase
binding of ______ at the hexokinase active site creates a binding site for ATP

What is the name of this reaction?
What does it represent ?
Michaelis-Menten equation
The relationship between the rate of product formation and substrate concentration. It measures reaction rates (v).
There are different i so forms of hexokinase expressed in different tissue , for example _____ in the liver. Erythrocyte Hexokinase has a Km of 0.05 mM glucose. Glucokinase has a Km of 5.0 mM glucose. Compare the graph.
Glucokinase
Plotting the reciprocals of the initial velocity versus the substrate concentration results in _____ ____. This is the Lineweaver Burk transformation.
Linear plots
Plotting the reciprocals of the initial velocity versus the substrate concentration results in _____ ____. This is the Lineweaver Burk transformation.
Linear plots
_____ ____ bind enzymes at the same site as a substrate. As the substrate concentration increases, it outcompetes the competitor. They do not change the _____, they increase the _____ because the concentration of substrate requires increases.
Competitive inhibitors
Vmax
Km
A _____ _____ blocks the reaction without competing for the substrate binding site, for example they bind make a covalent bond to the enzyme which inactivates it. They decrease ____ but the ____ remains the same.
Non competitive inhibitors
Vmax
Km
____ inhibitors/activators bind at sites away from the active site and alter the enzymes activity. They do not follow strict Michaelis-menten kinetics.
Allosteric
For allosteric enzymes, their plot is _____ rather than hyperbolic. Activators make the curve more _____. Inhibitors make the curve more ______.
Sigmoidal
Hyperbolic
Sigmoidal
_____ _____ is when the inhibitor only binds after the substrate has binded. The decrease ____ and _____. An example is phenylalanines inhibition of alkaline phosphatase
Uncompetitive
Km
Vmax
