P1: Introduction to Enzymatics Flashcards
Study of enzymes: activity of enzymes, chemical
reaction they create, clinical uses
Enzymology
○ present inside tissues and cells
○ Not common in the circulation
Biological catalyst
○ Without enzymes, higher level of energy and
more time is needed for the reaction to
occur
Hasten Chemical reactions
○ Enzyme will leave the reaction intact
Are not consumed during reactions
● Do not undergo a chemical change after the
reactions
Enzymes
_____________ is not diagnostic to a certain disease, but it is useful in specifying which organ is
affected
Enzyme testing
recognizes and catalyzes a single
substrate
Absolute
Give me the three enzyme specificity
- Absolute
- Group
- Linkage
Recognizes and catalyzes a group of substrates that have specific functional
groups
Group
Recognizes and catalyzes a group of substrates that have a particular type of
bond
Linkage
NOMENCLATURE OF ENZYMES
- Substrate + ase
- Reaction it catalyzes
- Enzyme commission Nomenclature
● The names of some enzymes do not end in -ase
pepsin and trypsin
active form of pepsinogen
pepsin
active form of trypsinogen
trypsinogen
OTHLIL CLASSIFICATION OF ENZYMES
OTHLIL
1. oxidoreductases
2. transferases
3. hydrolases
4. lyases
5. isomerases
6. ligases
___________________- removal of H ion / electrons
Oxidation
_____________________ - acceptance of H ion / electrons
Reduction
Transfer of functional groups other than hydrogen
from one substrate to another
Transferases
