CH6 - Energy, Enzymes, and
Metabolism
-
Enzymes and Ribozymes
Catalyst
- an agent that speeds up the rate of reaction
- not used up
- catalyze forward/backward reactions
- proteins catalysts in living cells
-
lowers Activation Energy
- input of energy to start reaction
- molecules get close for bond rearrangement
- can now achieve transition state where bonds are stretched
-
Mechanisms
Induced fit phenomenon
- interaction also involves conformational
changes
1) Substrate bind to enzyme
2) Enzyme undergoes conformational change that binds substrates more tightly, the induced fit binds strains chemical bonds and brings them closer together
3) Substrates are converted to products which are released
Lock and key metaphor
- substrate and enzyme binding
Enzymes Reaction
Michael's constant, KM
- Substrate concentration where velocity is half maximal value
- High KM enzyme needs higher substrate concentration
- Inversely related to affinity between enzyme and substrate
Inhibition
Competitive
- Molecule binds to active site
- Inhibits ability of substrate to bind
- Apparent KM increases, more substrate needed
Non- competitive
- Lowers Vmax without affecting Km
- Inhibitor binds to allosteric site, not active site
Saturation
- Plateau where nearly all active sites are occupied by substrate
- Vmax = velocity of reaction near maximal rate
-
Coenzyme - Coenzyme – organic molecule that participates
in reaction but is left unchanged afterward eg. FAD
