- body tissues
- minute concentration
enzymes
All enzymes are proteins, but not all proteins are enzymes.
TRUE
number, type, and sequence of amino
acids in the polypeptide chain. In order to function properly,
proteins must have the correct sequence of amino acids
Linear structure
PRIMARY
commonly formed arrangements
stabilized by hydrogen bonds between nearby amino acids
within the protein molecule
Bends, turns and folds in the structure
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
overall shape of the protein molecule.
The conformation is known as the fold, or the spatial relationship of the secondary structure to one another.
Has 3D conformation
tertiary structure
results from the interaction of more
than one protein molecule, or protein subunits, referred to as
multimer, that functions as a single unit.
quarternary structure
substance acted upon by the
enzyme.
It binds to the active site of the enzyme
substrate
A water free cavity, where the substrate
interacts with particular charged amino acid
residues
active site
A cavity other than the active site; binds the
regulator molecules.
allosteric site
These are enzymes with same function but
exist in different forms.
isoenzymes
These are forms of enzymes that were
post-transcriptionally modified.
The function is different
isoforms
These are non-CHON molecule necessary
for enzyme activity such as activators and
coenzymes.
cofactors
inorganic cofactors
that can either be metallic or
nonmetallic
ACTIVATORS
are organic cofactors
coenzyme
calcium, magnesium,
manganese, zinc, cobalt, etc
metallic
chloride, bromide,
etc
nonmetallic
Vitamins, niacin, biotin, and NAD
coenzymes
is what we use to quantify
the enzyme because it becomes
NADH
NAD
Alteration of the cofactor is measured,
instead of the concentration of the enzyme
because enzymes are present in minute
concentrations
TRUE
The different forms may differ in select
physical properties,
- diffrent AA composition
- electrophoresis pattern
- solubility and resistance
Because the amino acid composition is different
from one isoenzyme to another, they have different
charges that allow for separation in
electrophoresis because of the different mobility
that each isoenzyme possesses.
electrophoretic pattern
Some isoenzymes are soluble in either acid or basic
solution
solubility and resistance
present in the heart, and it increases if there is
acute myocardial infarction
CK-MB
most abundant because it is present in all of
the muscle
CK-MM
