Exam 4 Flashcards
Ways enzyme increase reaction rate
Lower activation energy by stabilizing the transition state
Provide alternate path for product formation
Reduce entropy by orienting substrate’s appropriately for reaction to occur
Cofactor
Small, does not contain carbon
Aids in catalytic mechanisms at active site
Provides additional groups to supplement active site
-metal ions
Coenzyme
Larger, contain carbon
Vitamins
Some are proesthetic-> bind so strong it is permanently associated
Holoenzyme
Enzyme with cofactor/ coenzyme
(Whole)
Apoenzyme
Enzyme without cofactor/ coenzyme
Oxireductase
Redox reactions ex: dehydrogenase
Transferase
Transfer functional groups
Ec: kinase
Hydrolase
Use H2O to break bond
Ex: lipase
Lyase
Cleave without H2O
Ex:carboxylase
Isomerase
Rearrange intermolecular, make isomer
Ex: mutase
Ligase
Form bonds using ATP
Ex: Synthetase
Active site
Contains binding site (bind and orient) and catalytic site (reduce chemical activity)
Reversible mechanism
Noncovalent binding
Irreversible
Inhibitory molecule forms covalent bind with catalytic groups in active site
Competitive
Binds to enzyme
Increase Km
Decrease Vmax
