Term
active site
Definition
binds the substrate, forming an enzyme–substrate (ES) complex and catalyzes the reaction
Term
turnover number or Kcat
Definition
The number of molecules of substrate converted to product per enzyme molecule per second
Term
holoenzyme
Definition
refers to the active enzyme with its nonprotein component
Term
apoenzyme
Definition
enzyme without its nonprotein moiety is termed an ______ and is inactive
Term
coenzyme
Definition
only transiently associate with the enzyme are called cosubstrates. Cosubstrates dissociate from the enzyme in an altered state are called?
Term
prosthetic group
Definition
If the coenzyme is permanently associated with the enzyme and returned to its original form, it is called a
Term
energy of activation
Definition
energy difference between that of the reactants and a high-energy intermediate that occurs during the formation of product
Term
slow
Definition
Because of the high free energy of activation, the rates of uncatalyzed chemical reactions are often
Term
faster
Definition
the lower the free energy of activation, the more molecules have sufficient energy to pass through the transition state, and, thus, the ____ the rate of the reaction
Term
ribozymes
Definition
RNA can act as enzymes – called
Term
Michaelis-Menten
Definition
Most enzymes show kinetics in which the plot of initial reaction velocity (vo) against substrate concentration ([S]), is hyperbolic
Term
Michaelis-Menten
Definition
Most enzymes show kinetics in which the plot of initial reaction velocity (vo) against substrate concentration ([S]), is hyperbolic
Term
allosteric enzymes
Definition
frequently show a sigmoidal curve that is similar in shape to the oxygen dissociation curve of hemoglobin
Term
high
Definition
A numerically small (low) Km reflects a _____ affinity of the enzyme for substrate, because a low concentration of substrate is needed to half-saturate the enzyme—that is, to reach a velocity that is ½Vmax
Term
low
Definition
A numerically high Km reflects a ____ affinity of the enzyme for substrate, because a low concentration of substrate is needed to half-saturate the enzyme—that is, to reach a velocity that is ½Vmax
Term
-1/Km,1/Vmax
Definition
in the lineweaver burk plot the intercept on the x-axis is equal to and the intercept on the y-axis is equal to 1/Vmax
Term
covalent, non-covalent
Definition
Irreversible inhibitors bind to enzymes through ______ bonds. Reversible inhibitors bind to enzymes through ______ bonds
Term
non-competitive inhibition
Definition
occurs when the inhibitor and substrate bind at different sites on the enzyme
Term
decrease
Definition
noncompetitive inhibitors ______ the apparent Vmax of the reaction
Term
allosteric binding site
Definition
• Regulated by effectors (modulators or modifiers)
• Bind noncovalently to a site other than active site
• Alter affinity of enzyme for substrate or modify max. catalytic activity or both
Term
homotropic
Definition
what type of effector is this; a substrate itself acts as allosteric effector
• Typically the effect is positive
• Cooperativity = binding of substrate to one site enhances catalytic properties of other site
• Sigmoidal curve rather than hyperbolic
Term
heterotrophic
Definition
effector is different from substrate
Term
feedback inhibition
Definition
Feedback inhibition = final product of a pathway allosterically inhibits the first enzyme in the pathway, switching off its own production; Example: Phosphofructokinase inhibited by citrate
Term
in the liver
Definition
• Elevated levels of ALT in plasma indicates damage to tissue where?
Term
isoenzymes
Definition
are enzymes that catalyze same reaction but differ in physical properties due to differences in amino acid sequences; they are (-) and migrate towards the anode
Term
AST
Definition
this enzyme is found in the heart, skeletal muscle liver and brain, and is associated with liver disease
Term
ALT
Definition
this enzyme is found in the liver and is associated with liver disease hepatis
Term
amylase
Definition
this enzyme is found in the pancreas and salivary gland and is associated with acute pancreatitis and bile obstruction
Term
CK
Definition
this enzyme is found in the skeletal muscle, heart and brain, and is associated with MD and MI
Term
GGT
Definition
this enzyme is found in liver and is associated with hepatitis and alcohol excess
Term
LDH
Definition
this enzyme is found in the heart, liver, and erythrocytes and is associated with lymphoma, hepatitis
Term
lipase
Definition
this enzyme is found in the pancreas and is associated acute pancreatitis and bile obstruction
Term
alkaline phosphate
Definition
this enzyme is found in osteoblasts and is associated with bone disease
Term
acid phosphate
Definition
this enzyme is found in the prostate and is associated with prostate cancer
Term
CKMB
Definition
what is the major isoenzyme indicator of MI
Term
cardiac myoglobin
Definition
what is the first marker three hours after the event of MI?
Term
cardiac specific troponin
Definition
what marker shows up 8 hours after MI
Term
CKMB
Definition
what is the marker 24 hours after MI
Term
AST
Definition
what is the marker for 24-36 hours after MI?
Term
LDH
Definition
this marker peaks at 36-48 hours after MI
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
LDH type 1 is ___ ___ specific
Term
liver specific
Definition
LDH type 4 is ____ specific
