Enzymes Flashcards
(229 cards)
Abnormal large amount of enzymes in serum are used clinically as evidence of?
Organ damage
When bind tightly to the enzyme, the coenzyme is called
Prosthetic group
Water free cavity
Active site
Inactive enzyme precursor. Coagulation factors and digestive enzyme
Proenzyme or zymogen
Where the substrates bind and undergo a chemical reaction
Active site
Active substance formed by a combination of a coenzymes and an apoenzymes
Holoenzyme
Binds regulatory molecules
Allosteric site
Substance acted upon enzyme, specific for each enzyme
Substrates
Promote change in shape
Allosteric site
Specific biologic proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the equilibrium point of the reaction or being consumed or changed in composition
Enzymes
Represents the subclass to which the enzyme is assigned
Second and third digits
Serial number that is specific to each enzyme in a subclass
Final and fourth number
Helper molecules, nonprotein substance added in the enzyme substance complex to manifest the enzyme activity
Cofactors
Places the enzyme in its classification
First digit
Catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds.
Splitting of a bond by addition of water
Hydrolases
Catalyze the interconversion of geometric, optical or positional isomers
Isomerase
Protein portion of enzyme, subject to denaturation, in enzyme losses activity
Apoenzyme
Physical binding of a substrate to the active site of an enzyme
ES complex
Catalyze an oxidation reduction reaction between two substrates
Oxidoreductase
Catalyze the joining of two substrate molecules, coupled with breaking of the pyrophosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate or a similar compound
Ligases
Enzymes combined with only one substrate and catalyzes only one reaction
Absolute specificity
They combine with all the substrates containing a particular chemical group
Group specificity
Reaction rate is directly proportional to substrate concentration
First order kinetics
Excess energy
The energy required to raise all molecules in 1mol of a compound at a certain temperature to the transition state at the peak of energy barrier
Activation energy
