Biochem test 2

1.

Name the enzyme classes

2.

oxioreductase

3.

What is this reaction enzyme

transferase

4.

What is this reaction enzyme

hydrolase

5.

What is this reaction enzyme

Lyase

6.

What is this reaction enzyme

Isomerase

7.

What is this reaction enzyme

Ligase

8.

What is a reaction intermediate

transient chemical species formed and decayed in reactions

9.

Define rate limiting step

step with highest activation energy in a reaction

10.

Explain effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity

11.

Explain effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity

12.

Explain effect of temperature on enzyme activity

13.

describe zero order kinetics

  • rate is constant and does not depend on the amount of substance
  • rate depends on presence of catalysts
  • Enzyme-catalyzed reactions exhibit zero-order kinetics when the reactant concentrations are so high that the enzyme is completely saturated with reactant molecules
14.

describe first order kinetics

  • Rate is proportional with the amount of substrate present
  • Description of a reaction whose rate depends on the first power of the concentration of a single reactant
15.

Graphs for 0,1st, and 2nd order reactions

16.

Michaelis Menton Equation explaination

  • Has undergone modifications but is still the basic model for non-allosteric enzymes.
  • KM - Inverse measure of the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate; Lower the KM, the higher the affinity
  • Km=michaelis constant
  • Enzymes can only process so fast.
    • At low substrate → rate increases almost linearly
    • At high substrate → enzyme becomes saturated, rate levels off
    • v: reaction rate
  • [S]: substrate concentration
  • Vmax⁡: maximum rate (when enzyme is saturated)
  • Km​: Michaelis constant (substrate concentration at half Vmax⁡)
17.

what is lineweaver burk graph

  • double reciprocal plot of enzyme kinetics
18.

What are the equations for x intercept, y intercept, and slope on lineweaver burk graph

x int= -1/Km

y int =1/Vmax

slope=Km/Vmax

19.

practice lineweaver burk calcs

20.

reversible and irreversible inhibitors

21.

what competitive inhibitors do in terms of enzymatic output and graph information

22.

what non-competitive inhibitors do in terms of enzymatic output and graph information

  • Inhibitor does not interfere with substrate binding

–Value of Vmax decreases, and value of KM remains the same

  • Increasing substrate concentration cannot overcome noncompetitive inhibition

–Inhibitor and substrate are not competing for the same site
