BIO 4307 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Proline, Epimerase And Racemase, Enzyme Catalysis
Document Summary
Chapter 6: enzymes are powerful and highly specific catalysts, enzymes accelerate reactions by factors of a million or more, for example, even a reaction as simple as adding water to co2 requires an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. It is one of the fastest enzymes known. This precision is a result of the intricate three-dimensional. But, they are different from them in that they are derived from vitamins and because they can be used by many enzymes: different enzymes that use the same coenzyme usually have similar chemical transformations. Without the input of energy and, in fact, the reaction releases energy. A (cid:396)ea(cid:272)tio(cid:374) (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:374)ot take pla(cid:272)e spo(cid:374)ta(cid:374)eously if g is positive. An input of free energy is required to drive such a reaction. Endergonic: at e(cid:395)uili(cid:271)(cid:396)iu(cid:373) g is 0, the g of a (cid:396)ea(cid:272)tio(cid:374) depe(cid:374)ds o(cid:374)ly o(cid:374) the fi(cid:374)al state of p(cid:396)odu(cid:272)ts (cid:373)i(cid:374)us the free energy of the reactions or initial state.
