how are bonds weakened by enzymes
residues from the enzyme form interactions with the substrate to help weaken bonds and speed up the ROR
1 of 29
2 models for enzymes
lock & key. Induced fit model
2 of 29
which one happens in reality
induced fit
3 of 29
enzymes are
stereospecific
4 of 29
For a reaction to be favourable normally ....
the products need to be at a lower energy state/level
5 of 29
Ea
activation energy - energy required to start the reaction
6 of 29
Catalysts
lower the Ea
7 of 29
Non covalent catalysis
Proximity effect- substrate conformational orientations, activation of bonds via space interactions
8 of 29
covalent catalysis
proximity effect & covalent interactions - activation of bonds via ion/group transfer between substrate and enzyme
9 of 29
types of catalysis (if no cofactor is present)
acid-base. nucleophilic , electrophillic
10 of 29
Michaelis - Menton equation
V= Vmax[S]/Km+[S]
11 of 29
each term in the MM
V = ROR , Vmax= the maximum rate , Km= half the Vmax , [S] = sub conc
12 of 29
2 steps involved in enzyme reactions
1. binding of the enzyme and substrate 2. conversion of Ensyme sub complex -> product + enzyme
13 of 29
Assumptions of the MM equation (2)
1. Substrate is always in xs 2. system is always in steady state
14 of 29
steady state
ESC is being formed at the same rate it is being broken down
15 of 29
Km
half the Vmax- the substrate conc req for enzyme to reach half the vmax
16 of 29
In rate experiments when will we measure the rate
at the start- we measure initial velocity - since enzymes will become saturated eventually
17 of 29
The Vmax
will never actually be reached - it is an assymptote - it is theoretical
18 of 29
A Vmax for a give enzyme is
constant
19 of 29
the smaller the KM
the better the enzyme
20 of 29
Turn over number is a measure of
catalytic activtity - direct measure of product production under saturated sub conditions. it is the max no of sub molecules converted per enzyme in a given time
21 of 29
Catalytic effiecienty
Kcat/Km
22 of 29
reversible inhibition
non covalent interactions , ionic and h bonds
23 of 29
irreversible inhibition
covalently binds to the enzyme
24 of 29
Types of reversible inhibition
competitive, uncompetitive , mixed , non competitive
25 of 29
competitive
sub and inhibitor cannot bind at the same time, Km increase , Vmax will same
26 of 29
Uncompetitve
inhibitor binds to the ESC- Km will decrease, Vmax will decrease
27 of 29
Mixed
inhibitor can bind at same time as substrate - Km will decrease as will Vmax
28 of 29
Non competitve
need to check this one
