    Study Notes

    First-Order Reaction

    • V = kF[S] – kB[P]
    • kF[S] = kB[P] at equilibrium
    • Vo = kF[S]
    • Initial velocity (Vo) is proportional to substrate concentration [S]

    Enzyme Catalysis

    • Formation of enzyme-substrate complex: E + S → E—S
    • Binding: k1, k-1; Catalysis: k2
    • Vo = k2[ES]

    Michaelis-Menten Formulation

    • Formation of enzyme-substrate complex: E + S → E—S
    • Transition state: E—S* → E + P
    • Michaelis-Menten equation: Vo = k+2[E]A[S] / (KM + [S])
    • [EA] = total active enzyme molecules
    • Vmax = k2[E]A

    Enzyme Kinetics

    • Progress curves: steady-state
    • Lineweaver-Burk plot: 1/Vo = 1/Vmax + KM/Vmax[1/[S]]
    • Eadie-Hofstee plot: Vo = -KM/Vmax[1/[S]] + Vmax

    Inhibition

    • Competitive inhibitor: E + I → E—I (inactive)
    • Non-competitive inhibitor: E + S → E—S; E—I (inactive)
    • Competitive inhibitor plots: 1/Vo = 1/Vmax + KI/Vmax[1/[S]]
    • Non-competitive inhibitor plots: Vo = -KM/Vmax[1/[S]] + Vmax

    Chemical Kinetics

    • Definition: study of rates of chemical reactions
    • Elementary reactions: A → P
    • Rate equations: Rate = k[A]a[B]b (a + b = order of reaction)
    • Molecularity of reaction: first-order, second-order, etc.

    Rate Equations

    • First-order reaction: v = -d[A]/dt = k[A]
    • Second-order reaction: v = -d[A]/dt = k[A][B]

    Transition State

    • Definition: high-energy state during chemical reaction
    • Example: CH3Br + OH- → CH3OH + Br-

    Thermodynamics of the Transition State

    • Two-step reactions: k1, k2
    • Rate-determining step: the slowest step determines the overall rate

    Accelerating Chemical Reactions

    • Heat: increases kinetic energy of molecules
    • pH: affects reaction rates
    • Catalysis: reduces ∆G‡, increasing reaction rates
