UNE BIOCHEMISTRY WEEK 2 EXAM
Michaelis-Menten equation - ANSWER vi = (vmax [S])/(Km + [S]).
vi - ANSWER starting velocity; the reaction's initial pace at a given substrate
concentration
Vmax is the maximum velocity (rate) that a reaction can obtain with an
unlimited concentration of substrate.
Km - ANSWER the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is at half-
maximal, is a measure of the substrate's affinity for the enzyme.
Small Km implies high affinity, which means that the rate will approach Vmax
at lower substrate concentrations.
[S] - ANSWER: substrate concentration
deltaG - ANSWER The presence of an enzyme has no impact on total energy.
Temperature and the concentration of hydrogen ions can influence the rate of
reactions.
oxidation - the loss of electrons
reduction ANSWER gain of electrons
The competitive inhibitor, ANSWER, binds to the active site.
