Term
what type of bacteria will you see in a gram stain and why |
|
Definition
you'll see gram - stained in red by safranin because they have a thin wall as opposed to gram+ which have a thinker wall which does not get broken by the crystal violet and iodine |

|
Term
|
Definition
Active Site = The region of the enzyme that binds and acts upon the substrate
|
|
|
Term
whats an allosteric enzyme |
|
Definition
when substrate binds it is automatically activated |
|
|
Term
how does temperature and pH affect enzymes rxn |
|
Definition
All types of protein are extremly sensitive to Temp. at a certain point, the enzymes or proteins are denatured and so the rate drops drastically. it is the same with pH
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Vmax= max processing rate of the enzyme ( when all the active site are filled)
Km= concentration of sub at which 1/2 of the active sites are filled |
|
|
Term
Km = the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex. talks about its relationships with the ES |
|
Definition
• the smaller Km, the larger [ES] vs [E] & [S] = stronger binding
• the smaller Km, the larger k1 vs k-1 = stronger association
than dissociation reaction
|
|
|
Term
what could we do to increase the rate of a rnx
(besides adding a catalyst) |
|
Definition
add more enzyme
engineer a bettere active site
add an activator |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
same shape as sub
compete for the Active site
if you increase the sub, you decrease the I
Vmax does not change
Km decreases (so that binding affinitiy decreases b/t S and E) |
|
|
Term
reversible non competitive inhibitor |
|
Definition
I and sub have different shapes
don't bind to the active site
Vmax decrases and Km does not change |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
mimis the natural sub
bonds to active site IRREVERSIBLY so it deactivates it
both Vmax and Km decrease |
|
|
Term
whats the mechanism of action of lysosyme)
|
|
Definition
Lysozyme digests bacterial cell walls by breaking b(1- 4) glycosidic bonds between (N- acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)
|
|

Term

|
|
Term
how does acetyl CoA regulate gluconeogenesis |
|
Definition
stimulate gluconeogenesis by allosteric activation of pyruvate carboxylase
inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenage complex |
|
|
Term
whats the process that convert glucose to pyruvate called |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as pyruvic and lactic acid |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
there are 3 committed steps in glycolysis |
|
Definition
G>G6P (hexokinase)
F6P>F1,6-BP (PFK-1)
PEPyruvate>pyruvate (pyruvate kinase) |
|
|
Term
compare hexokinase and glucokinase |
|
Definition
glucokinase is found in the liver.
It has much higher Km for glucose
not inhibited by glucose 6-phosphate
** is absent in muscle and is deficient in patients
with diabetes
also, at normal blood glucose, hexo is saturated completely whereas gluco is not
|
|
|
Term
why is PFK 1 soooooo important |
|
Definition
PFK-1 is an important allosteric enzyme regulating the rate of glucose catabolism and plays a role in integrating metabolism.
its the 1st unite irreversible step of glycolysis
|
|
|
Term
where is the 1st ATP generated in glycolysis |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
How is NAD+ supplied under anaerobic conditions in glycolysis
|
|
Definition
from pyruvate to lactate
(lactate dehydrogenase rxn) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the liver furnishes glucose to contracting skeletal muscle,
which derives ATP from the glycolytic conversion of glucose into lactate.
Contracting skeletal muscle supplies lactate to the liver, which use it
to synthesize glucose.
|
|
|
Term
where is NAD+ consumed in the cycle |
|
Definition
GI-3-P>>> 1,3BPG
(GI-3P dehydrogenase)
**so The NADH that is produced in the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate reaction is consumed in the lactate DH reaction. Thus, redox balance is maintained
|
|
|
Term
why consuming high levels of alcohol can be dangerous |
|
Definition
Overconsumption of alcolhol> high level of NADH>> inhibits gluconeogenesis>> lactate increase
|
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
F2,6 BP, which is more effective than AMP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
it is synthesized from F6P by PFK2
the level of F2,6-BP is regulated by the phosphorylation of PFK2 |
|
|
Term
when is the level of F2,6-BP increased or decreased |
|
Definition
PFK2 kinase and phosphatase regulate PFK2
when the body is fasting (hungry), insulin is low so PFK2 kinase will target PFK2 to make more f2,6-BF>> stimulate PFK1>>stimulate glycolysis
when the body is full (fed), insulin is high so PFK2 phosphate will target PFK2 to make less f2,6-BF>> to stop PFK1>>to slow down glycolysis
|
|
|
Term
what would a pyruvate kinase deficiency do |
|
Definition
Abnormal RBC shape a result of inadequate ion pumping
•Excessive RBC destruction in spleen
–Hemolysis
–Jaundice
–Increased reticulocyte count
|
|
|
Term
What is the net yield of NADH when glucose 6-phosphate is converted to lactate by anaerobic glycolysis |
|
