Study Notes
Enzyme Kinetics
- Steady state is reached in microseconds, where enzymes exist to accumulate material, and the concentration of enzyme ([E]) is always greater than the substrate ([S]).
- At very high substrate concentrations, the reaction rate approaches Vmax.
- V0 is directly proportional to [S] at low substrate concentrations, but follows 'saturation kinetics' at high substrate concentrations.
Michaelis-Menten Equation
- The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
- KM is the Michaelis Constant, which represents the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of Vmax.
Plots
- The Lineweaver-Burk plot provides a more accurate way of determining Vmax and KM.
- The Eadie-Hofstee plot is generally considered to be a less accurate determination of KM compared to the Lineweaver-Burk plot.
- The Woolf-Hanes plot is quicker to obtain data than the Eadie-Hofstee plot.
Michaelis-Menten Mechanism
- The Michaelis-Menten mechanism involves the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex (ES) and the subsequent conversion of ES to product (E+S → ES → E+P).
- KS = [E][S] in the Michaelis-Menten mechanism.
- KM > KS implies long-lived intermediates exist after substrate binding, while KM < KS implies significant dissociation of ES after substrate binding.
Significance of Steady State and V0
- The significance of the steady state is to accumulate material, and it is reached in microseconds.
- The purpose of examining the initial reaction rate V0 is to determine the enzyme's kinetic parameters, such as Vmax and KM.
- V0 following 'saturation kinetics' with respect to substrate concentration [S] means that the reaction rate approaches Vmax at high substrate concentrations.
Comparing Enzymes
- Enzymes with different kcat and KM values can be compared using the Michaelis-Menten equation, allowing for the comparison of their catalytic efficiencies.
- The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, and it can be used to compare the kinetic parameters of different enzymes.
