Chap 12 Flashcards
(42 cards)
v
Velocity of rxn- inst rate of appearance of product and diss of reactant
k
Rate constant
First order rxn
A unimolecular rxn
V of 1st order rxn
V=k[A]
Reaction order
Corresponds to molecularity: The number of molecules that collide simul to generate product
Second order rxn
Bimolecular rxn v=k[A]2
Rate equation
Rate equation
t1/2; for 1st ord?
Time for half of reactant to decompose; in 1st ord, its a const ( doesnt depend on conc of reactant) [A]=[A]o*e^(-kt)
Psuedo 1st order rxn
A bimolec rxn whose rate appears to be proportional to its conc when 1 reactant is in large excess
Zero order rxn
A rxn whose rate does not vary with the conc w/ reactants. If excessive subst is added to an enz, it may react ind of conc
k1
Forward rate const for formation of ES complex (1st rxn)
k-1
Reverse rate const for formation of ES complex 1st rxn
k2
Rate const for decomp of ES to P (2nd rxn)
Michealis menten assumptions
- Equilibrium: k-1»k2, 1st step of rxn is in eq
2. Steady state: rate of synthesis of ES equals its rate of consumption (conc stays same during rxn)
Michealis complex
Enz-sub complex
Steady state
Formation and degradation of ind components are balanced and system doesnt change over time
Km
Michealis const. Small Km means high affinity. Km=(k-1+k2)/k1
v0
Initial velocity of rxn
Vmax
Maximal velocity, enz is saturated. Entirely in ES form
Michealis menten equation
v0=Vmax[S]/(Km+[S])
Kcat
Catalytic const. Turnover number. # rxns per time.
Diffusion-controlled limit
Upper limit to value of catalytic efficiency. Decomp of ES to E and P is not any more than E and S can form ES.
Lineweaver-burk plot eq. X axis? Y axis? Slope? Y int? X int?
1/v0=(Km/Vmax)(1/[S])+1/Vmax. 1/[S]. 1/vo. Km/Vmax. 1/Vmax. -1/Km.
Sequential rxn
Rxns where all subs must combine with enz before a rxn can occur and prods can be released. Single disp rxns. Ordered mech’sm.
