Document Summary
Allosteric enzymes prevents unregulated rxns from taking place and allows for efficient integration of metabolism. Sense signals in the envt that allow them to adjust the rates of their rxns to meet the metabolic needs of the cell and facilitate the efficient coordination of various metabolic pathways. 7. 1 kinetics is the study of reaction rates. Kinetics study of rates of rxns. Enzyme kinetics study of rates of enzyme-catalyzed rxns. Velocity of rxn (v) quantity of reactant a that disappears in specified unit of time t. Also equal to quantity of product p that appears in specified unit of time t. First order reactions in which the velocity is direction proportional to reactant concentration. Second order include 2 reactants; aka bimolecular reactions. Can be 2 of the same reactant or 2 different reactants. Rate constant has unit of m-1 s-1. V = k[a]2 or v = k[a][b]
