Lec 7 Kinetics Flashcards
k is the blank
rate constant
enzymes speed up attainment of equilibrium by influencing blank
k
linear portion of equilibrium curve is what we use to determine blank
rate
enzyme assay when product yield is measured throughout entire reaction
continuous assay
assay where individual time points are taken
sampled assays
assay where two metabolic reactions that share a common intermediate … product of first is substrate of the second
coupled assay
these can enhance sensitivity, and facilitate data collection during assay
synthetic substrate
enzyme is saturated with substrate at blank
Vmax
study of how enzymes influence the rates of change
enzyme kinetics
Km =
[S] at 1/2 Vmax (Affinity of enzyme for substrate)
Km and Vmax are part of this model
Michaelis menten
michaelis menten model is a blank
square hyperbola
Km does not equal
Vmax / 2 because it is the substrate concentration at 1/2 Vmax
an enzyme does not have to obey michaelis menten and can have a blank
Km
an enzyme that acts on more than one substrate it will usually have a different blank for each
Km
low Km means blank affinity of E for S
high
high Km means blank affinity of the E for S
low
a good way to tell isozymes apart is to look at each of their….
Km’s
low affinity (high Km) may mean that the enzyme isnt even ….
