Kinetics And Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Define kinetics;
A
The study of rats of chemical reactions and a reaction mechanism is the pathway a reaction takes
2
Q
What does the gibbs free energy show?
A
Weather a reaction will occur spontaneously or not
3
Q
What is the equation for the rate of reaction?
A
Rate = change measured / change in time
4
Q
Reactions with a fast first reaction rate…
A
Kinetically favourable
5
Q
Reactions with a slow first reaction rate…
A
Kinetically unfavourable
6
Q
What is catalytic power?
A
Defined as “ratio of enzyme-catalysed rate to the under catalysed rate”
7
Q
What is the turnover number?
A
Number of molecules of substrate converted per enzyme molecule per second
