Q

discontinuous method

A

stop the reaction or create an end point (also called end pt method). After catalysis has been taking place for some time, some chemicals such as acids, alkali, inhibitors are added to stop the reaction.

A

reduction rates in enzyme-catalysis

29
Q

Is inhibition reversible, irreversible, or both?

A

both

30
Q

What 3 type of inhibitions are reversible?

A

competitive, non-competitive, uncompetitive

31
Q

What must be done to relieve competitive inhibition?

A

dilute [S] or add [E]

32
Q

What must be done to release the inhibitors in non-competitive inhibition?

A

remove inhibitors via separation techniques

33
Q

Example uncompetitive inhibition?

A

high sucrose concentration in the reaction {sucrose –>glucose + fructose} invertase enzyme and water allow reaction to proceed. Addition of more sucrose inhibits invertase.

34
Q

What industry uses uncompetitive inhibition?

A

confection industry to produce fructose (not easy to crystallize)

35
Q

What are 2 examples of competitive inhibition?

A

36
Q

Irreversible inhibition. Ex?

A

covalently binds with E & inactivates it. Common separation techniques can not receive the irreversible inhibitors

High [acid], [alkali], [metals], [salts]

37
Q

Competitive
inhibition

1 example

A

I binds to active site of E, prevents S from binding. I resembles S in structure.

inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase by malonate

38
Q

Uncompetitive
inhibition

1 example

A

I binds to site on E molecule which becomes available only after S has bound to the active site and formed ES complex.

S inhibition which occurs at very high [S]. Inhibition of invertase by high [sucrose]

39

Steps to immobilize trypsin

Draw this out

A
  1. trypsin used to hydrolyze protein into peptides
