Protein regulation 2: Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
k1 and k-1 represent what?
A
Forward and backward rate of reaction respectively (P+L -> PL)
2
Q
Association rate and dissociation rate equations? What are they measures of?
A
k1[P][L] = association (collisions/unit time)
k-1[PL] = dissociation (rate of separation)
3
Q
Michaelis-Menten equation? Derived from what?
A
Derived from:
k1 > k2>
E + S ES -> E + P
4
Q
What is the Michaelis constant?
A
Km = (k-1 + k2) / k1
