accelerate chemical reactions by decreasing the energy of activation of the reaction.
Enzymes
is the amount of energy required to produce a transition state and bring about a reaction
Energy of activation (Ea)
Classes of Enzymes
Oxidoreductases
Transferases
Transferases
Hydrolases
Lyases
Isomerases
Enzymes that catalyze OXIDATIONS and REDUCTIONS
Oxidoreductases
Enzymes that catalyze TRANSFER of moieties such as glycosyl, methyl, or phosphoryl groups
Transferases
Hydrolases
Hydrolases Enzymes that catalyze HYDROLYTIC CLEAVAGE of C-C, C-O, C-N and other covalent bonds
Enzymes that catalyze CLEAVAGE of C-C, C-O, C-N and other covalent bonds by atom elimination, generating double bonds
Lyases
Enzymes that catalyze GEOMETRIC or STRUCTURAL CHANGES within a molecule
Isomerases
Enzymes that catalyze joining together (Ligation) of 2 molecules in reactions coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP
Ligases
As substrate binds, enzyme undergoes a conformational change that repositions amino acids in the active site and increases interactions with the substrate – Active site assumes shapes that are complementary to that of the substrate only after the substrate is bound
Flexible Model
the velocity approached at a saturating concentration of the substrate
Vmax
is the concentration of the substrate required to produce 1/2 Vmax
Km
Relates initial velocity to substrate concentration [S] and maximum velocity
Michaelis Menten Equation
vi = Vmax [ S]
Km + [S]
Derived from the reciprocal of the Michaelis Menten equation
Lineweaver Burk Equation
Effects of Inhibitors on Km and Vmax
Km increases and Vmax constant
Competitive Inhibition
To overcome: increase concentration of substrate
Effects of Inhibitors on Km and Vmax
Km constant and Vmax decreases
To overcome: reversible or irreversible depending on whether the inhibitor binds temporarily or indefinitely.
interferes with the active site of an enzyme so substrate cannot bind
Competitive inhibitor
- changes shape of the enzyme so it cannot bind to substrate
Non-Competitive inhibitor
Contain “active sites”
May act as the second substrate
Recover original state at the end of the reaction •
Mostly derived from vitamins (deficiencies may result to impaired metabolism)
COENZYMES
Non protein organic portion of enzyme
Heat stable, low MW
Help enzymes accelerate reactions • Accept and transfer functional group
Coenzymes that participate in transfer of H+ and electrons
- NAD/NADP 2. FAD/FMN 3. Ubiquinone or Coenzyme Q 4. Tetrahydrobiopterin
Coenzymes that participate in transfer of groups other than H+ and electrons
- Transfer of acyl groups and active aldehydes, TPP, Lipoic acid, Coenzyme A
- Amino group transfer Pyridoxal Phosphate
- Activation and transfer of CO2- Biocytin
- Transfer of one carbon compounds- Tetrahydrofolate
- Transfer of Alkyl groups – Cobamide (B12) coenzyme
