#1
Front (Question)

Ethanol sensitivity ~ symptoms, reason, what gets rid of the symps + issues, type of inhibitor used

Back (Answer)

• face flushing + tachycardia when small amounts are consumed. symptoms caused by acetylaldehyde CH3CHO • from a Km mutation • aldehyde dehydrogenase clears out the symps. Two types of it cytoplasmic (high Km) and mitochondrial (low Km). • in ppl with the disease, mitoch. enz is less active due to a SINGLE AMINO ACID MUTATION • uncompetitive inhibitor used

#2
Front (Question)

Lineweaver - Burk plot, equation, slope

Back (Answer)

plot 1/[S] vs 1/V (y,x) 1/V = (Km / Vmx) * (1/[S]) + 1/Vmax slope = Km/Vmax

#3
Front (Question)

Feedback Inhibition

Back (Answer)

Involves control by the amount of product fromed reducing the activity of enzs in the pathways. Accomplished by allosteric regulation

#4
Front (Question)

allosteric enz 5

Back (Answer)

• usually unidirectional enz. • controls a committed / rate limiting step of pathways. • Regulated by a product in the pathway • have a regulatory binding site • modifies Vmax

#5
Front (Question)

Competitive Enz

Back (Answer)

inhibitor at binding site – Blocks substrate from binding. Increases Km as it decreases binding reversible

#6
Front (Question)

Noncompetitive Enz

Back (Answer)

allosteric Inhibition at distal/allosteric site. Affects only Vmax by decreasing it

#7
Front (Question)

Uncompetitive Enz

Back (Answer)

Inhibition at binding site (requires substrate to be present) Aids the binding activity as subs must be present. Decreases Km AND Vmax because catalysis doesnt happen

#8
Front (Question)

Suicide Enz

Back (Answer)

inhibition at binding site (requires reaction) binds to enz, undergoes catalysis and shuts down the enz. No Vmax or Km. Cell remakes enz slower than transition enz as catalysis happens

#9
Front (Question)

Transition Enz

Back (Answer)

Inhibition at binding site inhibitor mimics subs on TS and enzs are shut down due to the high amount of energy it requires to keep inhibitor on TS. Cell degrates enz but inhibitor keeps destroying other enzs. No Km or Vmax Fast when it happens.

#10
Front (Question)

addition or removal of phosphoryl groups from a protein __

Back (Answer)

is the most common modification used to affect protein function. dramatically changes its charge statues + activity due to high/dif electron

#11
Front (Question)

Phosphorylation

Back (Answer)

kinase enz catalyzes addition of PO4 to serine/threonine/tyrosine Phosphatase enz removes PO4 from target (moiety)
