Q

Enzymes help with ______________ reactions to _________ efficiency in biological systems by ________ the activation energy.

A

Non-spontaneous, increase, decrease

155
Q

First order kinetics

A

In low concentrations, the reaction is dependent upon substrate concentrations and is directly correlated with enzyme activity. (Decrease substrate = decrease enzyme activity)

156
Q

Zero order kinetics

A

In high concentrations, the reaction rate is solely dependent upon the enzyme concentration as all enzymes are fully saturated and cannot work any faster unless more enzymes were added.

157
Q

A

50% of max velocity achieved for specific enzyme
(Km is a constant for specific enzyme)

158
Q

Second order kinetics

159
Q

Vmax

A

Maximum velocity

160
Q

On a graph, where does first order take place?

A

At Km (1/2 vmax)

161
Q

On a graph, where does zero order take place?

A

At vmax

162
Q

How does temperature affect enzymatic reactions?

A

Increasing temperature doubles the chemical reaction rate
Cold temperatures reversibly inactivate enzymes

163
Q

Competitive inhibitors

A

Reversibly bind to the active site and stops enzyme activity

164
Q

Uncompetitive inhibitors

A

Bind to the enzyme substrate complex but prevent release of finished product

165
Q

Noncompetitive inhibitors

A

Reversibly bind to the allosteric site on enzyme and stop product formation, but substrate can still bind to the active site

166
Q

Where does the inhibitor bind during competitive binding? How is Km and Vmax affected? Why?

A

Active Site

Km is increased; substrate is inhibited from binding to enzyme so we need more substrate

Vmax is unchanged; available enzyme is not changed

167
Q

How is Km and Vmax affected during noncompetitive binding?

A

Allosteric Site

Km is unchanged; substrate is not inhibited from binding to enzyme

Vmax is decreased; less available enzyme

168
Q

How are Km and Vmax affected during uncompetitive binding?

A

Enzyme/Substrate Complex

Km is decreased; need more substrate

Vmax is decreased; less available enzyme

169

182
Q

CRP

A

acute phase reactant that may be elevated in cardiovascular diseases, but is not specific

183
Q

Why is troponin a better cardio marker than CK-MB, AST, myoglobin, or LDH?

A

Specific to cardiac muscles, stays elevated the longest, should never be present unless heart damage

184
Q

In what order (fastest to slowest) do the enzymes AST, CK, and LDH become elevated when an AMI occurs?
