CC2 PRELIM (ENZYME, ABG, ELECTROLYTES TUMOR MARKERS) Flashcards
(142 cards)
are specific proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the equilibrium point of the reaction or being consumed or changed in composition.
Enzyme
A structure in which each enzyme contains a specific amino acid sequence
primary structure
A structure in which the resultant polypeptide chains adopting bends and turns
secondary structure
A structure in which an enzyme folding into a three-dimensional structure
tertiary structure
refers to the binding and interactions between the subunits.
quaternary structure
results when an enzyme is subject to posttranslational modifications with a functional group added to an amino acid.
isoform
it catalyzes an oxidation–reduction reaction between two substrates.
oxidoreductases
it catalyzes the transfer of a group other than hydrogen from one substrate to another.
Transferases
catalyze hydrolysis of various bonds.
hydrolases
catalyze the removal of groups from substrates without hydrolysis; the product contains
double bonds.
lyases
catalyze the interconversion of geometric, optical, or positional isomers.
isomerases
catalyze the joining of two substrate molecules, coupled with the breaking of the pyrophosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or a similar compound.
ligases
In EC number code, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd number represent the
classification, subclass, and subsubclass
what classification is aldolase
lyases
ALP and ACP is what classification
hydrolases
AST, ALT, CK, and Pyruvate kinase is what classification
transferases
LD, G6PD, and Glutamate dehydrogenase is what classification
oxidoreductases
The excess energy needed to induce the transition state
is called
activation energy
it is based on the premise that the shape of the key (substrate) must fit into the lock (enzyme)
Emil Fisher’s/Lock and Key Theory
It is based on the substrate binding to the active site of the enzyme
Kockland’s/Induced Fit Theory
meaning that the enzyme combines with only one substrate and catalyzes only one corresponding reaction.
absolute specificity
enzyme combined with all the substrates in a chemical group is called
group specificity
enzyme reacting with specific chemical bonds is known as
bond specificity
the rate of the reaction is directly
proportional to substrate concentration.
