Cards

Term
Active Site
Definition
A place in the protein's structure where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs
May contain non-amino acid molecules called cofactors (either metal ions or coenzymes) that are essential for the enzyme's function
Term
Reaction specificity
Definition
Enzymes are specific for the reaction they catalyze, specific enzyme will catalyze a specific substrate
Term
Regulation (How substrate binds enzyme, 2 ways)
Definition
Lock and Key: active site and substrate structures are complementary
Induced fit (more common): enzyme changes shape to fit substrate
Term
Enzymes affect on thermodynamics
Definition
Enzymes do not affect thermodynamics (Free energy)
Term
How enzymes increase the kinetics of a reaction
Definition
They decrease the kinetics (activation energy) of a reaction
May completely change pathway by which reactant becomes product, this pathway has a TS molecule with a lower free energy making it more stable
In the presence of enzyme, pathway is the same as without the enzyme, but the enzyme stabilizes the TS molecule (lower free energy of TS molecule)
Term
Three general ways enzymes help reactions
Definition
Acid-base catalysis (donates or accepts proton)
Covalent catalysis (enzyme covalently attached to either reactant or TS)
Metal ion catalysis (enzyme that contains metal ion where that ion is somehow involved in the reaction)
Term
What reaction does Chymotrypsin catalyze?
Definition
it catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds after Phe, Tyr, Trp
Term
What are Chymotrypsin's active site residues?
Definition
Asp 102, His 57, Ser 195
Term
Change to the first tetrahedral intermediate of chymotrpsin
Definition
His 57 works does base catalysis and donates a H+ to Ser 195, Ser 195 breaks its bond between O and H to connect O to the substrate and the extra e are added to the double bonded O
Term
Change from first tetrahedral intermediate to Acyl-enzyme intermediate (covalent intermediate)
Definition
O- donates its extra e to make a double bond with C of the substrate again, The bond between C and N of the subtrate is broken to bind N with the H on His 57, The N on His 57 becomes the e sink
Term
Change from Acyl-enzyme intermediate with added water
Definition
Water enters the active site and H-bonds with His 57
Term
Change into second tetrahedral intermediate
Definition
Water donates a proton to His 57 (base catalyst), leaving a hydroxyl group that attacks the carbonyl group of the remaining substrate, then the O on the substrate acts like the e sink
Term
Last step of chymotrypsin
Definition
Substrate O double bonds with C again, the bond between Ser 195 and the substrate is broken
Term
The first product of chymotrypsin
Definition
H-N-H
|
Rc
Term
The second product of chymotrypsin
Definition
H-O-C=O
|
Rn
Term
TS stabilization
Definition
Oxyanion hold, N-H bonds H-bond with substrate to stabilize it
H-bonds with O- stabilizes TS which lowers the free energy, which lowers the activation energy which increases the rate
NH of Serine and Gly 193
Term
Specificity pocket
Definition
firm fit for substrate, varies based on enzymes
Gly, Ser, and Gly for large aromatics
Term
pH affects enzyme activity
Definition
Place pka of a.a. residues on 50% points
If it needs to be unprotonated to function then the curve goes up
If it needs to be protonated to function then the curve goes down
Term
Rate equation
Definition
rate = K2[ES]
Term
Rate of formation = rate of ES going away
Definition
K1[S][E] = K-1[ES] + K2[ES]
Term
Enzyme can be in free form or complexed to substrate
Definition
[Etotal] = [Efree] + [ES]
Term
Velocity of the reaction
Definition
V = K2[ES]
Term
Velocity rate when [S] >>>>>>>>> [E]
Definition
Vmax = K2[Etotal]
Term
Michaelis-Menten equation
Definition
Vo = (Vmax[S])/(Km + [S])
Term
How do you get the Km
Definition
Km = Vmax/2
Term
Draw a lineweaver-burk plot
Definition
Y-intercept = 1/Vmax
X-intercept = -1/Km
Slope = Km/Vmax
Term
Kcat
Definition
Kcat = Vmax/[Etotal]
Term
Turnover number
Definition
measure of the number of substrate molecules converted to product within a single enzyme in a certain amount of time
Term
Inhibitor
Definition
molecule that binds reversibly to the enzyme
Term
Competitive Inhibitor
Definition
molecule that binds at the active site of the enzyme, it increases the Km value, but does not affect the Vmax, decreases the affinity between the enzyme and the substrate
Term
How to find KI
Definition
alpha = 1 + [I]/KI
alpha = Vmax with I / Vmax w/o I OR Km with I/ Km without I
Term
Noncompetitive Inhibitor
Definition
molecule that binds to the enzyme (somewhere other than the active site) and decreases the Vmax, but doesn't affect the Km
Term
General functions that change when you change an active site residue
Definition
If the Vmax drops, but the Km stays the same: the a.a. was important in converting the substrate to product
If the Vmax stays the same, but the Km increases: the a.a. was important in binding the substrate
Term
Specific functions figured out by changing an a.a.
Definition
Is it a acid or base catalyst?
Does it play a part in stabilizing a molecule
Term
Cell membrane structure
Definition
lipid bilayer: two layers of lipids, hydropillic outside, hydrophobic inside (nonpolar), Proteins embedded in membrane, Carbohydrates.
Term
Integral protein structure
Definition
alpha helices or Beta barrel
Term
Voltage Gated K+ Channel
Definition
Voltage gradient forms K+ flowing into the cell, concentration gradient favors K+ flowing out of the cell.
Term
Equation to determine if ions flow in or out of the cell
Definition
G=RTln(concentration where going/concentration where from) + ion charge(F)(membrane potential where going - membrane potential where it is from)
Term
K+/Na+ channel
Definition
Na+ floods in, K+ slowly moves out after membrane potential goes positive, C=O guides K+ out of the cell
Term
Channels
Definition
passive transport
Term
Pumps
Definition
active transporters
Term
Na+/K+ ATPase Pump
Definition
Na+ goes into the cell, K+ exits the cell, now too many K+ outside and too many Na+ inside, pump 3 Na+ out/ 2 K+ in per 1 ATP
When using the equation times the end product by how many are pumped
Term
Mechanism of Na+/K+ channel
Definition
1) 3 Na+ bind ATPase
2) ATP - ADP and P binds to ATPase
3) P changes ATPase confirmation
4) Release of Na+
5) 2 K+ binds and H2O clips off P
6) confirmation changed and K+ let off inside the cell
Term
Na Glucose Transporter/Pump
Definition
From intestinal space 1:1 glucose and Na, then Glucose goes out glucose transporter, Na goes out Na+/K+ ATPase, charges part of mechanisms doesn't matter for neutral ions
