oxidoreductase
enzyme that catalyzes oxi-reduc rxn using NAD+/FAD eg: dehydrogenases
transferases
enzymes that catalyze transfer of functional groups eg: transaminase, transcarboxylase, hexokinase
Hydrolyases
enzymes that cleave bonds with the addition of water (ex: proteases: trypsin, thrombin, chymotrypsin) carboxypeptidase A
Lyases
Catalyze carbon-carbon bond and carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage Release CO2 from a b-keto acid Some are reversible eg pyruvate decarboxlyase
Isomerase
An enzyme that rearranges the atom in a molecule. change from one isomer to another, eg cis-trans isomerism eg maleate--fumarate
ligase
enzyme that catalyzes joining of 2 large molecules by forming chemical bond -couples 2 substrates w/ splitting of ATP S + S + ATP---> S + ADP + P
enzyme catalysis
-protiens that enhance rxn rate by lowering EA -E recognizes S & induces the TS -E changes shape when S bound (tighter fit, chem groups into position to catalyze, creates fav cond) -S held in active site by IMF -E provides catalytic surface -Enyzyme surface stabilizes the TS -transf…
steady state theory
theory in enzyme kinetics -the production = consumption of TS [ES] remains constant -persists until almost all S is consumed
V(max)
hypothetical maximum rate: when all substrate is bound to enzyme hypothetical because continuously binding and converting to product, then unbinding
Km
enzyme's "affinity" with substrate -measure of [S] required for effective enzyme catalysis -[S] @ 1/2 Vmax -constant for a given enzyme -small Km= tight binding, needs less S -large Km=weak binding, needs more S to obt Vmax
Kcat
turnover # -# S--P per E per unit of time -1/sec -measure of catalytic production under saturated Substrate(optimum conditions) -with S excess K2=Kcat
Kcat/ Km
catalytic or enzyme efficiency -measure of how perfect an E is -apparent 2nd order rate constant -large Kcat/ Km value= more P made per S per time -measuers eff of transformation of bound P and eff of productive S binding
specific activity
measure of enzyme purity -activity units/ protein -mmole/min per mg
enzyme inhibitors
competitive reversible, competes with S at active site Km ↑ Vmax ∅ noncompetitive irreversible, I binds to E or ES at diff site Km Ø Vmax↓ uncompetitive irreversible, I binds to ES at diff site, alters E structure to make I site available Km↓ Vmax ↓
Ordered Sequential
Substrate binding order and product release order are constant ex. Pyruvate >>> Lactate; NADH binds first, Lactate released first
double displacement
catalytic mechanism one S binds 1 P released ping pong mechanism
Catalytic residue
-alter pka of a residue or H20 -activate part of S -stabilize TS -in active site and weaken bondes
protease
an enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds via hydrolysis -cleavage is slow due to resonance in bond so enzyme must facilitate Nu attack at normally unreactive C=O
general acid-base catalysis
catalysis in which a protein is transferred in the transition state
chymotrypsin
pancreatic enzyme that cleaves on C-term side of AA WYFML -covalent and AB catalysis -Nu becomes briefly covalently attached
List the types of proteases.
Serine protease (OH), Aspartic protease (COO), cysteine protease (SH) and metalloproteases. (Zn)
isozymes
related proteins with similar but not identical catalytic activity -eg LDH and H/M subunits
reversible covalent modification
a mechanism of enzyme regulation in which the enzyme's activity is either incr or decr by the reversible covalent addition of a group such as phosphate or AMP to the protein -eg phosphorylation
Proteolytic Activation
Enzymes that cycle between active and inactive forms. Hydrolysis of peptide bonds in inactive enzymes produce active enzymes. Chymotrypsin, trypsin, and pepsin are all activated this way. -irreversible converstion btw inactive (zymogen) to active enzyme
chymotrypsinogen
chymotrypsinogen (inactive) is activated by trypsin via proteolytic cleavage to form π chymotrypsin -π chymo is cleaved by itself to make α chymo (3 chains) α chymotypsin - A B C chains linked by disulfide bonds
cofactors
-any molecule (org or inorganic) that aids in catalysis, (protein fxn) -two types coenzyme : nonprotein org that aids in catalysis, binds with IMF prosthetic group: nonprotein org molecule that aids, binds convalently (stuck) enzyme + cofactor= haloenzyme
serine proteases
chymotrpysin: cuts WYFML trypsin: cuts RK elastase: cuts AG all have catalytic triad
