What mechanisms do enzymes use to affect a chemical rxn?
Front
-induces strain
-mods substrate orientation
-adds chemical groups
-uses induced fit
-uses cofactors
Back
Why would a cell use feedback inhibition?
Front
to prevent a overproduction of a certain substance
Back
4 levels of protein structure
Front
-Primary
-Secondary
-Tertiary
-Quaternary
Back
quaternary structure
Front
-2 or more folded polypeptide chain
Back
How does temperature affect enzyme activity?
Front
-increasing temp, rxn occurs faster
Back
What is the role of an enzyme?
Front
-speed up/catalyze metabolic reactions
Back
How does pH affect enzyme activity?
Front
-adds or releases protons
-changes enzyme shape to catalyze a rxn or make it inactive
Back
How are proteins denatured?
Front
-heat
-chemicals
-this is irreversible
Back
How is protein localization influenced when proteins proteins interact with other proteins or cell components?
Front
-moves protein to proper place to perform its function
-may change after a signal/modification is received
Back
feedback inhibition
Front
the end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway
Back
Structure of amino acid
Front
central carbon, carboxyl group to the right (COOH), amine group to the left (NH2), hydrogen above and R group below
Back
tertiary structure
Front
-3d structure
-determined by R-Groups
-Can have both folds and a helix in its structure
-Formed by covalent bonds or non covalent bonds
Back
competitive vs noncompetitive inhibitors
Front
-competitive: inhibitor binds to active site and blocks it off so substrate can't bind to it
-non-competitive: binds to enzyme but not on the active site, and changes the shape of the active site so the substrate can't bind to it
-regular and repeating structural patterns created by hydrogen bonding between backbone atoms in neighboring segments of protein chains
-two types
-alpha helix
-beta sheet
Back
allosteric regulation
Front
-nonsubstrate molecule binds to enzyme other than the active site and mods it
-changes shape of the enzyme
