    Study Notes

    Vitamins

    • Vitamins A, D, E, and K are classified as fat-soluble vitamins.
    • Vitamin A, D, and B12 undergo storage in the liver.
    • Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D.
    • Vitamin D must be supplied in the diet, as it is not synthesized by the body.
    • Vitamin C is commonly found in green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits.

    Enzymes

    • Transferases are the class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of functional groups between molecules.
    • The induced fit model describes conformational changes in the shape of the active site after binding of the substrate.
    • Factors that can affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration.
    • Isoenzymes are enzymes that have different amino acid sequences but catalyze the same reaction.
    • Plasma enzymes have clinical significance because they can be used as diagnostic tools to detect diseases, such as heart attacks or liver damage.
