Enzymology - Lab Flashcards
activities in the body that involves enzyme
- glycolysis
- creation of heme in hemoglobin
- coagulation cascade
- beta oxidation
- gluconeogenesis
proteins within cells
enzymes
why enzyme is used as catalyst?
because they make the chemical reaction faster
does glycolysis still happen even without enzyme?
yes, but it takes 300,000 years for the action to be completed
general properties of enzyme
active site: water free
allosteric site: cavity other than the active site
a molecule or a substance where an enzyme acts
substrate
factors of enzymology
- enzyme concentration
- substrate concentration
- cofactors
- inhibitors: competitive, non-competitive, uncompetitive
- isoenzymes
- temperature
- storage
non-protein that must bond to a particular enzyme before a reaction occurs
cofactors
electrolytes that are commonly used as cofactor in enzymatic reactions
- magnesium
- chloride
- calcium
temp where enzymes are activated
25 - 37C
temp where enzymes are being denatured
38-50C
temp where enzyme will be inactivated
60-65C
does not compete bcos the inhibitor will bind to other site
non-competitive
binds w/ the enzyme substrate complex (no product/reaction will happen)
uncompetitive
enzymes w/ similar enzymatic activities but differ their structure and origin
isoenzyme
what is a fixed time
reacts at a designate time
multiple measurements of absorbance changes are made during the reaction
kinetic assay
enumerate the cardiac enzymes
- Creatine-Kinase ATP-Creatine-N-Phosphotransferase
- Lactate dehydrogenase L-Lactate: NAD Oxireductase
CK is an enzyme important in the?
regeneration of adenosine triphosphate
why CK is most commonly used in the diagnosis of AMI, muscular dystrophy, and CNS disorders?
bcos they are found in skeletal muscles, heart muscles, and brain tissues
CK is dimeric because?
has 2 different monomers, the “M” and “B”
transfers phosphate group between creatine phosphate and ADP
creatine kinase
creatine kinase is also known as?
ATP-Creatine-N-Phosphotransferase
CK is most commonly used in the diagnosis of?
- AMI
- muscular dystrophy
- CNS disorders
normal values for CK in males and female
male: 25-90 IU/mL (0.42-1.51 mmol/L)
female: 10-70 IU/mL (0.17-0.18 mmol/L)
sample used for testing CK
serum
anticoagulants inhibit CK
isoenzymes of creatine kinase “ATP-Creatine-N-Phosphotransferase” (from fastest)
- CK BB “brain type” CK1
- CK MB “hybrid type” “CK2”
- Macro CK
- CK MM “muscle type” “CK3”
- CK-Mi “mitochondrial CK”
isoenzyme abundant in cardiac and skeletal muscle (major activity is in the heart)
CK-MM “muscle type” “CK3”
major isoenzyme in sera of healthy people
CK-MM “muscle type” “CK3”
CK-BB is __ type “CK-3” which is normally found in?
neonatal sera rare in adult serum
CK-BB elevates in
brain injury and carcinomas
this isoenzyme is with significant amount in the heart and most specific for myocardial damage
CK-MB CK-2 “hybrid type”
CK-MB “hybrid type” CK-2
elevates:
peaks at:
normalize in:
elevates: 4-8 hrs
peaks at: 12-24 hrs
normalize in: 48-72 hrs
this isoenzyme is falsely elevated in hemolysis
CK-MB CK-2 “hybrid type”
