Document Summary
Monday, august 27, 2018 starting state: catalytic mechanisms. Involved in both structural and catalytic roles in oxidation/reduction reactions: terms, cofactors non-protein components of a functional enzyme. Monday, august 27, 2018: their structures are changed by reaction and must be regenerated, most are derived from vitamins. Inhibitor = slows down: can be the same as the substrate (homotropic) or a different ligand (heterotropic, some enzymes are inhibited by downstream products in a pathway, feedback inhibition, for example, atcase (aspartate carbamoyl transferase) is inhibited by. B: for the reaction a b: [a] [b] a, defining equilibrium. If b = 10-3 and a = 10-6 and n = m = 1: solving for keq. If b = 10-3 and a = 10-6 and n = m = 1: Initial velocity: the initial velocity (v0) is the rate at which substrate is converted to product at the beginning of a reaction, = change in quantity (final minus initial)
