covalent modification in small molecule
phosphrylation, acetylation, glycosylation
covalent modification in large
adp-ribosylation, glutathionylation, ubiquitination
allosteric regulation is what kind?
and how is regulated?
non-covalent
at least one site, separate from active site, where an allosteric activator or inhibitor can bind/alter enzyme shape and thus function
PFK-1 is sigmoidal (S-shaped) Vo vs. [S] curve. this is due to what?
cooperativity of S binding
when regulator subunit binds regulating molecule, what happen?
it induces change in shape, changing apparent Km and shows a sigmoidal relationship when binding is measured over different [S] => cooperativity
interconvertible enzymes are controlled by what?
covalent modification
converter enzymes catalyze what?
covalent modification
product of one reaction trasnferred directly to active site of next enzyme without diffusing into the solvent
metabolite channeling
different enzymes catalyzing reactions in the same pathway are bound together
multienzyme complex
different activities exist on a single, multifunctional (multidomain**) polypeptide chain
multifunctional enzyme
nucelophilic species are …?
electron rich
electrophilic species are ….?
electron poor
formation of what intermediate is characteristics of nucleophilic substitution?
tetrahedral intermediate
direct displacement in nucleophihc subsitition has what?
transition state
in cleavage reaction, enzymes do waht?
enzymes can modify substrates to temporarily generate unstable forms (C-, C+. O- etc) more susceptible to reactions
oxidizing agent
gains electron (is reduced)
reducing agent
donates electrons (is oxidized)
in acid-base catalysis, general base(B:) can act as ___
proton acceptor
in acid-base catalysis, general acid (BH:) can ____
donate protons
in covalent catalysis, all or part of a substrate is bound covalently to the enzyme to form _____
reactive intermediate
under physiological conditions, the encounter frequency is about ?
10^8 to 10^9 M-1s-1
sucrose phosphorylase exhibits what?
covalent catalysis
glucose is transferred to enzyme then is donated to phosphate later
Km is measure of what?
affinity of E for S
Kcat?
Vmax/Etotal
normalize for enzyme concentration
=catalytic constant or turnover # enzyme
