Study Notes
Enzyme Activity and Kinetics
- Enzymes are essential for catalyzing chemical reactions efficiently and selectively in living organisms.
- Enzymes are named by the type of reaction they catalyze, with the suffix -ase added to the name of their substrate or reaction.
- Enzymes are classified into six major classes and are virtually all proteins, with some requiring additional chemical components to catalyze reactions.
- Enzymes are highly specific and interact with one or only a few substrates, catalyzing one type of reaction.
- Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction but do not affect the equilibrium.
- Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur, with substrate binding occurring in a pocket on the enzyme called the active site.
- The Michaelis-Menten equation expresses the relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction velocity, with Vmax representing the maximal velocity and Km representing the Michaelis constant.
- Substrate concentration affects the initial velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, with a hyperbolic relationship between substrate concentration and reaction rate.
- The Lineweaver-Burke equation provides a linear representation of the Michaelis-Menten equation, allowing for easier analysis of kinetic data.
- Reaction velocity is directly proportional to enzyme concentration at all substrate concentrations.
- Enzyme activity is measured in international units, with 1.0 unit defined as the amount of enzyme causing transformation of 1.0 micromol of substrate per minute under optimal conditions.
- Enzyme inhibitors can be irreversible or reversible, with reversible inhibitors further classified as competitive or non-competitive. Competitive inhibitors bind at the active site and affect Km but not Vmax, while non-competitive inhibitors bind at a site other than the active site and affect Vmax but not Km.

Enzymes and their Activity: Key Facts and Concepts
- Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, increasing the rate of chemical reactions.
- Enzyme catalysts bind reactants (substrates), convert them to products, and release the products.
- Enzymes are highly specific and interact with one or only a few substrates, catalyzing one type of reaction.
- Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by factors of 1 million or more and do not affect the equilibrium of a reaction.
- Enzymes are left unchanged after the reaction has occurred.
- Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur, and binding of substrate to a distinct part of the enzyme, the active site, increases the local concentration of reactants.
- The Michaelis-Menten model describes how the reaction velocity varies with substrate concentration, and the Lineweaver-Burk equation allows for easy estimation of Km and Vmax from linear plot.
- The rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of enzyme.
- The reaction velocity increases with temperature until a peak velocity is reached, and further elevation of the temperature results in a decrease in reaction velocity.
- An irreversible inhibitor inactivates an enzyme by bonding covalently to a particular group at the active site, while reversible inhibitors typically bind to enzymes through noncovalent bonds.
- Noncompetitive inhibition affects Vmax not Km, while competitive inhibition affects Km not Vmax.
- Enzyme activity is measured in international units, where 1 unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme causing transformation of 1.0 micromol of substrate per minute under optimal conditions of measurement.
