Enzymes PPT based (Part II) Flashcards
Greek _____, means “other,” and stereos, means “site or space.”
allo
is an enzyme with two or more protein chains (quaternary structure) and two kinds of binding sites (substrate and regulator)
Allosteric Enzymes
substances that bind at regulatory sites of allosteric enzymes
Regulators
increases enzyme activity; the shape of the active site is changed such that it can more readily accept substrate.
positive regulator
a noncompetitive inhibitor; decreases enzyme activity; changes to the active site are such that substrate is less readily accepted.
negative regulator
a process in which activation or inhibition of the first reaction in a reaction sequence is controlled by a product of the reaction sequence
Feedback Control
an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking of peptide bonds that maintain the primary structure of a protein
proteolytic enzyme
is the inactive precursor of a proteolytic enzyme
zymogen or proenzyme
is a process in which enzyme activity is altered by covalently modifying the structure of the enzyme through attachment of a chemical group to or removal of a chemical group from a particular amino acid within the enzyme’s structure.
Covalent Modification of Enzymes
Blocks the action of angiotensinogen (specifically angiotensin I) to form the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. These inhibitors also diminish the rate of bradykinin (potent vasodilator) inactivation.
ACE Inhibitors
acts as a competitive inhibitor to enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway for converting PABA into folic acid, specifically competes with the substrate(PABA) for the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase
Sulfa Drugs
an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of peptide cross links between polysaccharide strands in bacterial cell walls. These cross links strengthen cell walls necessary to protect the bacterium from lysis
Transpeptidase
Interfere with the last step of bacterial cell wall synthesis (transpeptidation or cross-linkage) thus inhibiting transpeptidase enzyme (as very selective competitive inhibitor) exposing the osmotically less stable membrane causing lysis.
Penicillins
an enzyme which protects bacteria
from penicillin
Penicillinase
an enzyme that helps metabolize drugs in the body
cytochrome P450s
A drug used to treat and prevent abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Amiodarone
Antidepressants
Buspirone,sertraline
An anti-seizure medication
Carbamazepine
Immunosuppressant drugs
Cyclosporine
Calcium-channel blockers used to treat high blood pressure
Felodipine , nifedipine, nimodipine, nisoldipine
An HIV medication
Saquinavir
Statins used to treat high cholesterol
Simvastatin, lovastatin , atorvastatin
is an enzyme that is found primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle and in smaller fractions in the brain
Creatine kinase
TYPES OF CREATININE KINASE:
- muscle (CK-MM)
- brain (CK-BB),
- cardiac tissue (CK-MB)
important marker in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
cardiac tissue (CK-MB)
TROPONIN:
are sensitive markers of cardiac injury
Troponin I and T
