Transferases

A

Move functional groups between molecules, often employ coenzyme donors eg coenzyme A. Named as trans[functional group ] ases, [functional group] transferase. Kinases are phosphotransferases, usually with ATP as donor. Anoter exception is polymerases. they are nucleotidyltransferases

Hydrolases

A

Add water into a reaction. Pepsin is a hydrolase. Named as [substrate]hydrolase; [substrate]ase. Examples : peptidases, nucleases, lipases. Reverse reaction of this is dehydration synthesis

Q

Lyases

A

Cleave portions from molecules without addition of water. they often form rings or multiple bonds to reform octets. Example is adenylate cyclase. Names as : [substrate]lyase OR [product] synthase. They can put molecules together.

25
Q

Isomerase

A

Alter the arrangement of atoms within a molecule. Interconvert between constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. Example is triose phosphate isomerase. Names [substrate] isomerase [substrate ase]. They are often involved in moving electrons or breaking bonds, therefore they may also be oxidoreductases, lyases or transferases

26
Q

Ligases

A

Use ATP to join large biological molecules, usually of the same type. Typically encountered in the contxt of DNA synthesis/ repair. Example is DNA ligase. They are the only class that absolutely need ATP to function. Named as : [substrate] synthase; [substrate] synthetase. Synthetase must be a ligase.

27
Q

The ATP synthase found in mitochondria is a(n)

A

lyase because it involves two small, different molecules

28
Q

Free energy of rxn is or is not altered by enzyme

A

not altered

29
Q

Reduction of activation energy mechanisms

A

1Transition state stabilization (dissipation of torsional strain and favorable bond formation, inductive effects of the active site residues). 2microenvironment adjustments (through exlusion of water, adjustment of local environments pH) 3. Adjusting substrate proximity to increase collisions. 4. transient covalent bonding- substrates briefly contact active site residues sequentially (as opposed to just once, substrate is susceptible to nucleophilic attack)

30
Q

Reactant destabilization

A

by creating torsional strain or hydrophobic - hydrophilic reactions (this is another reduction of activation energy mechanism)

31
Q

Enzyme- Substrate complex

A

fundamental to enzyme activity. E+ S ES > E +P.

32
Q

Lock and Key

A

Less accepted. Proposes the active site is complementary to the substrate, any enzymatic change for reaction must occur after binding substrate. Weakened by the model of competitive inhibition and promiscuous reactivity, also because of reverse catalysis

33
Q

Induced Fit Model

A

Active site is complementary only after binding initiates. Continual changes in conformation can occur during binding,, catalysis and release. Experimental evidence includes: competitive inhibition, X ray crystallography (shows literal proteins changing formation w/o substrate binding to it first)

34
Q

Coenzymes

A

extrinsic organic molecules necessary for protein function. many are adenine derived or vitamin derived

35
Q

fat soluble vitamins

A

adek

36
Q

water soluble

A

b c

37
Q

Prosthetic groups

A

tightly and often covalently bond coenzymes

38
Q

Cofactors

A

Inorganic molecules necessary for protein function. Usually free metal iions, but can be polyatomic. dietary mineral requirements.

39
Q

Holoenzyme

A

necessary cofactors and coenzymes present

40
Q

Apoenzymes

A

necessary cofactors and coenzymes are not present

41
Q

The site where a protein binds essential cofactors bind is most likely to be

A

negatively charged

42
Q

Km- Michaelis constant

A

Km is [s] such that v= 1/2 vmax. Basically this describes enzyme affinity for substrate. If on the graph you find the Km is closer to 0 on the x axis, that means that it has a “lower “ km value but actually it indicates that the enzyme has a higher affinity for the substrate. The opposite is true if the Km extrapolated on the x axis is further to the right. This would give us a “higher” km value, but actually it has a lower affinity.

43
Q

Michaelis Menten Relationship

A

v= vmax[s]/ Km + [s]

44
Q

Calculate Km

A

K2 + k3/ (k1)

45
Q

Purpose of finding the michaelis constant

A

to compare the enzyme substrate affinity of two or more enzymes

46
Q

Lineweaver - Burke slope increase indicates

A

the enzyme has a larger Km value

47
Q

cooperative binding

A

sigmoidal shape, hemoglobin

48
Q

graph shape that accurately depicts the relationship between substrate concentration and monomeric enzyme velocity

A

hyperbolic

49
Q

Calculate vmax from Lineweaver burk plot

A

take value of y intercept, set it equal to 1/vmax and solve for vmax.

50
Q

Calculate km from lineweaver burk plot

A

take value of x intercept , set it equal to -1/km to solve for km.

51
Q

The four subunits of hemoglobin exhibit cooperative binding. As Po2 of blood changes entering the pulmonary veins, the Km of hemoglobin towards this substrate

A

remains unchanged, the km is not affected by substrate concentration

52
Q

Glucose is bound by both glucokinase (KM= 5mM) and hexokinase (KM=0.1mM) after a meal, a diners blood glucose level rises from 1mM to 5mM. At this point, what can you infer

A

Hexokinase binds more glucose at all times

53
Q

KM relationships

A

High values of KM represent low affinity for es complex. Lower Km value will bind more .

54
Q

Enzyme activity, velocity and rate

A

measure of the amount of active enzyme present- or enzyme that is available to transform substrates into products per unit time

55
Q

Temperature impact on enzyme

A

positive impact: every 10 degree increase up to 37 degrees c doubles the rate of reaction. negative: once enzymes reach a certain temp the enzyme will denature and lose function. some enzymes can regain function once cooled.

56
Q

pH on enzyme

A

blood pH at 7.4. Altering pH can protonate or deprotonate the enzyme, alters active site and entire structure. Stomach pH = 2.0 (pepsin). Small intestine = pH 8.5

57
Q

Salinity on enzyme

A

not of physiological significance. Hydrogen and ionic bonds may be disrupted which can change the conformation of an enzyme. this is not observed in humans but in the lab

58
Q

pH that would best support and enzyme involved in the initial steps of chemical protein digestion

A

around 2, because this occurs in the stomach.
