Term
|
Definition
| The study of the ligand binding and rates of enzyme mediated reactions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
plot showing rate vs. substrate concentration
use this plot to determine the kinetic characteristics of enzymes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The rate at which an enzyme can catalyze a reaction
these are affecred by substrate concentration and the affinity of it to a substrate |
|
|
Term
| Michaelis-Menten Equation |
|
Definition
V=Vmax [S] / (Km + [S]
v rate of the reaction
[S] substrate concentration
Vmax maximal velocity
Km Michaelis constant |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Maximum amount of product per time which can be formed by an enzyme |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Substrate concentration which gives a reate equal to 1/2 Vmax
Michaelis constant |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
interferes with the active site of an enzyme so that the substrate cannot bind
change in Km
No change in Vmax |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Involves allosteric enzymes
inhibitor binds to enzyme to change shape and it doesn't catalyse anymore
change in Vmax
no change in Km |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Simple series of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction is the reactant in the next |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when the end pruduct of a metabolic pathway inhibits one of the enzymes early in the pathsay |
