holo-enzymes.

· describe the fact that enzyme catalysis is specific in terms of the type of reaction and the exact

substrate structure.

· Explain the difference in the “lock-and-key’ model and the induced fit model of enzyme

substrate interaction.

· describe that reaction rate constant thus reaction rate is dependent on the activation energy.

· describe the relationship between the energy of the transition state and the activation energy.

· describe the relative binding affinity of a substrate and its transition state to the enzyme.

· Explain how enzymes speed up reaction rate, i.e., how do enzymes lower the activation

energy. Note: Factors other than preferential stabilization of transition state also contribute to increased

reaction rate. They include 1) enzymes placing one substrate (reactant) next to the other substrate (reactant)

so that the reaction is no longer dependent on the collision rate of the two substrates; 2) enzymes sequester the

substrate(s), minimizing solvent competition thus speeding up the reaction; 3) in enzyme complexes with each

enzyme catalyzing one step in a multi-step reaction sequence, the product of one reaction is fed to the active site

of another enzyme for the next step without the product diffusing away from the enzyme complex thereby

increasing reaction rate.

· describe the Michaelis-Menten equation relating the initial velocity to total substrate

concentration.

· describe the assumptions that went into the derivation of the Michaelis-Menten equation. ([E]

is constant, steady state assumption, etc)

· describe the relationship between Vmax and kcat and the fact that kcat is a constant for a given

enzyme and substrate at a given temperature and solution condition; whereas Vmax can differ

for a given enzyme and substrate at a given temperature and solution condition, depending

on the enzyme concentration.

· describe the definition of Kd (equilibrium dissociation constant for ES into E and S).

· describe the relationship between Kd and the affinity of substrate for the enzyme, i.e., the

higher the Kd, the weaker the binding between E and S.

· describe the relationship between Kd and Km, i.e., in general, the higher the Kd, the higher theKm.

· Use the Michaelis-Menten equation and the relationship between Vmax and kcat to do

calculations.

· describe the other names for the catalytic rate constant, kcat (i.e., the turn over number; also

called krelease) and why it is so called (kcat reports on per unit time per enzyme molecule the

number of product molecules formed/released, thus the name turnover number or krelease).

· Determine Vmax and Km using both the Michaelis-Menten plot (initial velocity versus [S]) and

the Lineweaver-Burk Plot (the double reciprocal plot), given the data of initial velocity and

[S].

capability (efficiency) of an enzyme.

irreversible inhibition.

and mixed inhibitions (noncompetitive inhibition is a special case in which the inhibitor

binds E and ES with equal affinity therefore α is equal to α’ – Km is not affected).

· Describe each type of inhibition in terms of inhibitor binding site (active site or other than

the active site), how the inhibitor affects vmax and Km and the quantitative relationship of

each parameter with and without the inhibitor present and their relationship with [I] and KI

or KI

· describe situations when an enzyme will not obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics (when the enzyme

catalyzes reactions with multiple substrates or when the enzyme is allosteric, i.e. binding of

the substrate at one active site affects the other active site(s) for the same substrate).

· Name the four types of catalytic mechanisms. (electrostatic catalysis, general/specific acid

base catalysis, metal ion catalysis, covalent catalysis)

· Contrast acid/base catalysis to general acid/base catalysis, i.e., comment on their similarity

and difference.

the active site – chymotrypsin specifically cleaves peptide bonds adjacent to aromatic

residues)

hydrolyze peptide bonds) that have serine as a catalytic residue (that acts as a

nucleophile, which can attack the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond).

(specific methods of catalysis utilized by these enzymes; general description of overall

catalytic transformation)

· describe the four regulatory strategies of enzyme catalysis

by stabilizing the R (more active) state over the T (relatively inactive) state. (Lecture
