Lecture 12/13: Enzyme kinectics/Allosteric enzymes Flashcards
a first order reaction
there is only a single reactant
A → B.
rate of first order reaction
A → B
Units for first-order rate constants, K are …
s^-1
second order reaction
there are two reactants
A + B → products
rate of second order reaction
v = k[A][B]
Units for second-order rate constant (K)
M^-1s^-1
What determines the rate of a
reaction?
The height of the energy barrier, ∆Go‡, determines the rate of the reaction.
pseudo first order
a second-order or bimolecular reaction that is made to behave like a first-order reaction
Zero order
Does not depend on concentration of reactants
Initial velocity V0
Moles of products formed per second at very early time points
The simplest enzyme mechanism involves the equation:
Michalis Menten Kinectics assumptions (2)
- ignore E+P going back to ES (ignore K-2)
- Concentration of enzyme substrate complex is constant
Km formula with rate constants
The Michaelis-Menten Model assumes Steady state kinectics. This means
- Measurements of V0 while [ES] is relatively stable
Vmax is directly dependent on
enzyme concentration
