Q

What can inital rate be used to study

A

Inital rate as a funciton of [S] : at low substrate concentraitons, V0 increases near linearly with increasing [S]

Q

What do ES and E concentration differ depend on?

A

S concnetratnion, at low most enzyme in E form, where rate of activity is proportional to S as equilibrium favours more ES formaiton with S increase

Q

When does maximum velocity occur?

A

When al enzymes present are in ES complex formation, where further S increase does not affect rate due to enzyme saturation

Q

Pre-Steady State

A

This occurs when there is a rapid burst of ES complexes forming in the beginning the process is slow because the ES is still forming, then it increases

Q

What does the MMK express?

A

Relationship between S and V0

17
Q

Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

A

This estimates enzyme kinetic parameters from reaction progress curves of substrates

18
Q

What is the MMK Equation?

A

V0=Vmax[S]/Km+[S]

19
Q

Michaelis Constant

A

This is as substrate concentration at which the rate of reaciton is half the maximum rate that can be achived under given conditions, that being where velocity of reaction is half Vmax

20
Q

What was MMK derivation initally base don?

A

Idea that enzymatic reactons rate limiting step is ES complxe breakdown to E

21
Q

What does KM describe?

A

Michaelis Constant

22
Q

What is the units of Km?

A

nmol L^-1

23
Q

Initial Velocity

A

This is the rate at which the reaciton proceeds at a given substrate concentraiton

24
Q

What is inital velocity determined by?

A

ES breakdown to form product: V0=K2[ES]

25
Q

What does Et represent?

A

Total enzyme content, whether E or ES, where E equals Et-ES

26
Q

What is ES formation rates govered by?

A

K1

27
Q

What is ES breakdown rate foverned by?

A

k-1+k2

28
Q

Steady-State Assumption

A

This is the concentraiton of the intermediates of a reaction remain the same even when the concentraiton of starting materials and products are hcanging

29
Q

What is the steady state assumption given by?

A

K1[ET]-[ES]))[S]=k-1[ES]+k2[ES]

30
Q

What does the MM equation descrie?

A

The rate equation for a one-ubstrate enzyme-catalysed reaction, relating inital velocity, maximum velocity and inital substrate concentraiton with the michaelis constant.

31
Q

How do enzymes realte to MMK?

A

Most follow MM kinetics, except regulatory enzymes, hoever some exhibiting beyond the two steps can follow these kinetics

32
Q

What are the assumption s of MM kinetics?

A

Reaction is assumed to be a single substrate reaction(inhibition concentraiton)#K2 assumes no reverse mechanism is present, like product inhibition or reverse catalysis.

33
Q

What is the doubling relationship between S and B?

A

When KM is 100nML^-1 and [S] are 1 and 2, Vmax being constant, then
Vmax[1]/100+[1]
Vmax[2]/100+[2]

34
Q

When is Vmax constant?

A

If [E] is the same

35
Q

Why does MM form a rectnagular hyperbola?

A

Initial linear increase limited when S<Et
Parabolic with increasing [S] and [E] saturation
