Enzyme Regulation Flashcards
(91 cards)
_____ ______ bind to the same site of the enzyme, the active site
competitive inhibitors
____ _____ bind from a different site than the active site and bring about conformational change
noncompetitive inhibitors
____ inhibitors decrease Kcat and change substrate binding (Km)
mixed
_____ inhibitors decrease Kcat but do not affect substrate binding
pure
what are the two types of noncompetitive inhibitors?
mixed and pure
A competitive inhibitor is similar in ___ and ____ to the normal subsrate
size, shape
A competitive inhibitor cannot undergo a ___ _____
chemical reaction
Inhibitors might make it so the substrate is ____ bound to the enzyme
loosely
Inhibitors decrease the ____ of the substrate/reaction
Vmax
The inhibitors binds irreversibly to the enzyme by ____ bonds
covalent
____ substrates generate a reactive group that forms a covalent bond during binding to the active site
suicide
Penicillin is an example of a ____ substrate
suicide
Penicillin forms a covalent bond with an enzyme involved in the synthesis of what?
bacterial cell walls
Enzyme ____ is the ability of an enzyme to catalyze one particular reaction
specificity
What hypothesis considers the enzyme as the lock and the substrate fits in as the key?
lock and key
What hypothesis considers that the enzyme’s active site is modified upon binding to the substrate?
induced fit
The substrate glucose is bound to the active site of what enzyme?
hexokinase
What are the four mechanisms of enzyme regulation?
genetic control, covalent modification, specialized controls, allosteric regulation
___ _____ is the amount of enzyme that is produced by a gene (whether the gene for the enzyme is present, permanently suppressed, etc.)
genetic control
___ ______ is the attachment of chemical groups such as phosphate groups
covalent modification
Zymogens, isozymes, and modular proteins are examples of what?
specialized controls
___ _____ is an inhibitor of activator binding to the enzyme at a site different than the active site
