(LEC) Enzyme Kinetics Flashcards
What theory:
Enzyme + Substrate -> Enzymes-Substrate Complex -> Product + Enzyme
Michaelis-Menten Theory
Formulated the Michaelis-Menten Theory
Leonor Michaelis & Maud Menten
Maximum velocity or rate at which the enzyme catalyzed a reaction
Vmax
Concentration of substrates when the reaction reaches half of Vmax
Km
Measures how easily the enzyme can be saturated by the substrate
Km
High Km = ?
High Substrate Concentration
Low Km = ?
Low Substrate Concentration
A double-reciprocal plot of the Michaelis-Menten constant which yields a straight line
Lineweaver-Burk Plot
Formulated Lock & Key Theory
Emil Fischer
Binding of a substrate or some other molecule to an enzyme causing a change in the shape of the enzyme resulting in enhancement or inhibition of the enzyme’s activity
Induced Fit Theory
Factors that influence enzymatic reaction (7)
- Substrate Concentration
- Enzyme Concentration
- pH
- Temperature
- Cofactors
- Activators
- Inhibitors
Reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of ONE of the reactants
First-Order Reaction
Reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of TWO reactants
Second-Order reaction
Reaction rate is independent to the concentration of the reactants
Zero-Order reaction
Ideal pH for Enzyme Reaction
pH 7.0 - 8.0
Ideal Temperature for Enzyme Reaction
37 C
Temperature of Denaturation
40-50 C
CK denatures at what Temp
37 C
Amylase denatures at what Temp
45 C
3 types of Inhibitors

Enzymatic Assays:
Enzymatic reaction of interest is paired with a second enzymatic reaction which can be conveniently and easily measured
Coupled-Enzyme Assay
Convenient reagent for coupled-enzyme assay
NAD / NAD+ (If neither are coenzymes in the reaction)
Enzymatic Assays:
Reactants are combined and proceeds for a designated time
Fixed-Time Method (End-Point)
Enzymatic Assays:
Multiple measurements, usually of absorbance change, are made during this reaction at specific time intervals usually every 30s, 60, or continuous-recording spectrophotometer
Continuous-Monitoring Method (Kinetic Assay)
Unit for amount of enzyme that will catalyze the reaction of 1 micromole of substrate per minute under specific conditions
International Unit (IU)
Unit for enzyme concentration
International Unit per Liter (IU/L)
Unit for amount of enzyme that will catalyze the reaction of 1 mole substrate per second under specified conditions
Katal Unit (mole/s)
