Ch.12

1.

What are the requirements for an enzyme with Michaelis-Menten kinetics?

• Steady-state assumption: [ES] remains constant (loss
balances formation).
• [S] binds [E] to form [ES].
• Product formation is irreversible

2.

What are the 3 ways of interpreting KM

• Substrate concentration [S] at which at enzyme is at
half its maximum velocity Vmax (much like KD at half
ligand saturation).
• Approximation of the dissociation constant.
• The ratio of the rate constants:

k-1+k2/ k1

3.

What is a turnover number?

• Turn over number: kcat = Vmax/[E]total
The turnover number is a metric for the rate at which
substrate is converted to product (turnover) unique to
each enzyme.

4.

What is the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme?

• Catalytic efficiency: kcat/KM
Catalytic efficiency scores an enzyme based on both its
affinity for substrate and rate of catalysis

5.

Enzyme kinetics seeks to determine the initial and maximal reaction velocity that enzymes can

attain and the binding affinities for substrates and inhibitors

6.

Michaelis-Menten equation has a ______line on a graph

non-linear

7.

Bisubstrate reactions can occur by _____or______mechanisms or by a _______mechanism

ordered, random-sequential, Ping-pong

8.

1st order reactions display a linear plot of the

substrate or product concentration, as a function of time

9.

Rate law is the mathematical relationship

between the reaction rate or velocity, and concentration of reactions (linear)

10.

The amount of A consumed per unit of time

rate, or velocity

11.

Formula for rate law

v=k[A]number in front of letter

12.

Michaelis-Menten formula:

vo=Vmax[S]/ Km+[S]

13.

Vo is equal to

the slope

14.

At low [S], the rate is proportional

as in a first-order reaction

15.

At high [S], the enzyme reaction approaches

zero-order kinetics :Vo=Vmax

16.

Rate of formation of ES is _____, while rate of dissociation is ___.

Rate of product formation is ____

k1, k-1, k2

17.

Catalysis is limiting, because the rate is independent of [S](E is saturated

0th order (when Kmis less than)

18.

Rate is dependent on [S], [S] is limiting

1st order (when Km is greater than)

19.

When above Km, it starts to

plateau due to saturation increasing

20.

Vmax=k2[ET]

no data
21.

Km=(k-1+k2)/k1

no data
22.

Small Km means

little dissociation (10-6)

23.

Larger Km means

lots of dissociation (10-2)

24.

Kcat, the turnover number, is the number of

substrate molecules converted to product per enzyme molecules, per unit of time, when E is saturated with substrate

25.

Catalytic efficiency formula:

kcat/Km

26.

kcat/Km is approaching

1.0x109

27.

At temperatures are above 50o to 60oC,

enzymes typically decline in activity

28.

The two classes of single-displacement:

random and ordered

29.

Random single displacement where either

substrate may bind first, followed by the other substrate

30.

Ordered single displacement where a

leading substrate binds first, followed by the other substrate

31.

Double displacement (Ping-Pong) reactions

involves a covalent intermediate

32.

In single displacement, high concentrations the

y-intercept is lower

33.

Random, single-displacement reaction is formed rapidly and reversibly when

enzyme is added to a reaction mixture containing A,B,P, and Q

34.

Ordered, single-displacement reaction leading substrate (A) must

bind first, followed by B. And for the products, P and Q

35.

Double-displacement has a formation

of a covalently modified enzyme intermediate, E'

36.

Reversible inhibitor may bind

at the active site or at some other site

37.

Four types of reversible enzyme inhibitors:

-competitive

-noncompetitive

-mixed noncompetitive

-uncompetitive

38.

Competitive inhibition

only time where inhibitor can be competed by the substrates

39.

Increases the apparent Km but

no effect on Vmax

40.

Noncompetitive inhibitor

decreases Vmax with no change in Km

41.

Mixed noncompetitive alters

both Km and Vmax

42.

Uncompetitive inhibition alters

both Km and Vmax but with same slope Km/Vmax

43.

Uncompetetive inhibition only observed

in enzyme having two or more substrates

44.

What type of reversible inhibitor is this?

Competitive Inhibition

45.

Competitive inhibition______apparent Km but______on Vmax

increases, no effect

46.

What type of reversible inhibitor is this?

Pure noncompetitive inhibition

47.

Pure noncompetitive inhibition____Vmax with ____in Km

decreases, no change

48.

What type of reversible inhibitor is this?

Mixed noncompetitive inhibition

49.

Mixed noncompetitive inhibition alters Km and Vmax by _____

decreasing

50.

What type of reversible inhibitor is this?

Uncompetitive inhibition

51.

the same slope, Km/Vmax
