Enzymology - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is dogma in enzymology? - One reaction only has one enzyme to catalyse it What happens during a chemical reaction? - Activation energy provides enough energy for the process to happen where the reactants break or form bonds and create a new product What is transition state? - A less stable state that the products have to go through to get to the final product What is activation energy? - Energy needed to reach transition state and the rate of the reaction depends on how many reaction ...

Active Site - Attachment of substrate Often a water-free cavity Pouch-like Substrate - Substance acted upon enzyme Also called as chemical reactant Allosteric Site - Another cavity, other molecule other than substrate (inhibitors) May bind regulator molecules and,thereby. Be significant to the basic enzyme structure Place where the regulator bind

Enzymology QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Enzyme - A PROTEIN that acts as a biochemical CATALYST by affecting the rate at which a reaction proceeds. Substrate - The material acted on by the enzyme Product - The material produced as the result of an enzyme acting upon a substrate. 1. Enzyme binds to substrate at their active site 2. [ES] complex brings substrate molecule into proper alignment with enzyme 3. Products are formed and the free enzyme can combine with excess free substrate 4. The enzyme is not altered or consumed in th...

Basic Enzymology QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

An enzyme maybe defined as a: - Biological catalysts The Michaelis-Menten Constant in the rate of conversion of substrate to product is determined by: - Substrate concentration and rate of dissociation of enzyme-substrate complex Isoenzyme - The electrophoretic property is different for each isoenzyme Isoenzymes are performed to improve - specificity The protein portion of an enzyme complex is called - Apoenzyme Lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and hydr...
