Enzyme Kinetics Lecture 4 CHEM

Michaelis-Menten kinetics model Seminal work published in 1912 by Leonor Michaelis (1875–1949) and Maud Leonora Menten (1879–1960), a German man and a Canadian woman, cast light on the reasons why enzymes are so efficient.

Initial Velocity, v o Slope of initial [P]/t at a particular [substrate] is a single point on the Michaelis-Menten graph

Linear (Reciprocal) Plots The Lineweaver-Burk double-reciprocal plot, depicting extrapolations that allow the determination of the x- and y-intercepts and slope. Lineweaver-Burk A Hanes-Woolf plot of [S]/v versus [S], another straight-line rearrangement of the Michalelis-Menten equation. Hanes-Woolf You should use Hanes-Woolf, Eadie-Hofstee, or fit the hyperbolic curve (I do not think excel will do this, but Origin will)!

Demo

Different Types of Bi-Bi Reactions Single displacement (sequential) random ordered Double displacement (ping pong)

Single displacement Ordered: e.g., lactate dehydrogenase Random: e.g., creatine kinase

Single-displacement bisubstrate mechanism Single-displacement bisubstrate mechanism. Double-reciprocal plots of the rates observed with different fixed concentrations of one substrate (B here) are graphed versus a series of concentrations of A. Note that, in these Lineweaver-Burk plots for single-displacement bisubstrate mechanisms, the lines intersect to the left of the 1/v axis. Ks are dissocation constants for A and B as indicated in the superscript.

Random, single-displacement bisubstrate mechanisms where A does not affect B binding, and vice versa. Note that the lines intersect at the 1/[A] axis. (If [B] were varied in an experiment with several fixed concentrations of A, the lines would intersect at the 1/[B] axis in a 1/v versus 1/[B] plot.) Random, single-displacement bisubstrate mechanism

Double displacement (ping – pong) reaction

Double-displacement (ping-pong) bisubstrate mechanisms are characterized by Lineweaver- Burk plots of parallel lines when double-reciprocal plots of the rates observed with different fixed concentrations of the second substrate, B, are graphed versus a series of concentrations of A. Ping-pong bisubstrate mechanism

Temperature Dependence

pH dependence More informative to plot Km and Vmax vs pH, which is most effected?
