Enzyme Inhibition Flashcards
1
Q
Forms of Regulation
A
Reversible, Irreversible Reversible covalent Zymogens Allosteric activation/inhibition Compartmentalization
2
Q
Reversible and Irreversible
A
Reversible: Competitive inhibition in Succinate Dehydrogenase in TCA cycle; Converts succinate to fumurate, but is inhibited by malonate
Irreversible: Sarin binds to serine residue in acetylcholinesterase, inhibits recycling of acetylcholine in synapses
3
Q
Covalent modifications and Zymogens
A
Phosphorylation, eg. PDH
Zymogens, eg. pro-caspase, prothrombin
4
Q
Allosteric inhibitors/activators
A
Eg. ATP inhibits PFK1, ADP/AMP activates PFK1
