It is the analysis of the velocity (or rate) of a chemical reaction catalysed by an enzyme, and how the velocities can change on the basis of environmental parameters modifications. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW? How the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction can be defined in a mathematical way Velocity units What is the order of a reaction (first-order reaction/second order reaction? 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS
23
Hypothetical enzyme catalyzing: S P The rate of the reaction decreased when S is converted into P. Initial velocity: slope of tangent to the line at time 0 The rate of a enzymatic reactions depends on the substrate concentration 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS
24
The rate of a enzymatic reactions depends on the substrate concentration
25
Michaelis-Menten equation describes a curve known as a rectangular hyperbola The velocity of the product formation is: [ES] depends on: the velocity of ES formation from E + S the velocity of its dissociation to regenerate E+S or to form E + P.

What does K M mean? When [S]=K M, v=V max /2 K M is the substrate concentration that gives a velocity equal to one—half the maximal velocity. Units of molarity. It indicates how efficient in an enzyme selecting substrates (specificity) Usually K M is used as a parameter to estimate the affinity of an enzyme for their substrates. K M is similar to the ES dissociation constant when k 2 <<k -1. E + S ES E + P k1k1 k -1 k2k2 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS

Turnover number, K cat K cat of an enzyme is a measure of its maximal catalytic activity. It represents the kinetic efficiency of the enzyme In the reactionk cat = k 2 K cat : turnover number: number of substrate molecules converted into product per enzyme molecule per unit time, when the enzyme is saturated with substrate First order velocity constant.

k cat /K M defines the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme It provides information about two combined facts: substrate binding and catalysis (substrate conversion into product). When [S]<<K M, K cat /K m is the velocity constant of the E +S conversion into E + P. Second order constant. Units: M -1 s - 1 The catalytic efficiency of an enzyme cannot exceed the diffusion-controlled rate of combination of E and S to form ES. 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS

Factors affecting the enzymatic activity Enzyme concentration -Enzymatic activity international unit (U): quantity of enzyme able to transform 1.0 mol substrate per minute at 25ºC (under optimal conditions) - Specific enzymatic activity (U/mg): number of enzymatic unit per mg of purified protein. It indicates how pure the enzyme is. Balls: they represent proteins Red balls: enzyme molecules Both cylinders: same activity units Right cylinder shows higher specific activity than the left cylinder 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS
36
Temperature The rates of enzyme-catalysed reactions generally increase with increasing temperature. However, at high temperatures the activity declines because of the thermal denaturation of the protein structure. pH Enzymes in general are active only over a limited pH range, and most have a particular pH at which their catalytic activity is optimal. pH changes can modify side chain, prosthetic groups and substrate charges, and consequently, the activity of the enzyme. Factors affecting the enzymatic activity 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS
37
Enzymatic inhibition Inhibition: velocity of an enzymatic reaction is decreased or inhibited by some agent (inhibitors) – Irreversible Inhibitor causes stable, covalent alterations in the enzyme – Examples: » Ampicillin: causes covalent modification of a transpeptidase catalysing the synthesis of the bacterial cellular wall » Aspirin: causes covalent modification in a cyclooxygenase involved in inflammation – Reversible Inhibitor interact with the enzyme through noncovalent association/dissociation reactions. 3.3. ENZYME KINETICS

REVERSIBLE INHIBITION The inhibitor binds reversibly to the enzyme at the same site as substrate. The inhibitor resemble S structurally. S-binding and I-binding are mutually exclusive, competitive processes. The inhibition is blocked when the substrate concentration increases.

Living systems must regulate the enzymatic catalytic activity to: - Coordinate metabolic processes - Promote adaptations to environmental changes - Growth and complete the living cycle in the correct way Two mechanisms of regulation: 1.- Control of the enzyme availability 2.- Control of the enzymatic activity, by means of modifications of the conformation or structure 3.4. ENZYME REGULATION
47
Allosteric enzyme: Oligomeric organization (more than one active site and more than one effector-binding site) The regulatory effects exerted on the enzyme’s activity are achieved by conformational changes occurring in the protein when effector metabolites bind Conformational states for a protein (monomer): Taut state (T): Low substrate affinity Relaxed state (R) : High substrate affinity ALLOSTERIC REGULATION 3.4.
