Transcript of Km Vmax Kcat
Km Vmax Kcat
Km is [S] at 1/2 VmaxIt is a constant for a given enzyme at a particular temp and pressureKm is unique to each Enzyme and Substrate. It describes properties of enzyme-substrate interactions. Dependent on temp, pH etc. Independent of enzyme conc.
It is an ESTIMATE of equilibrium constant for substrate binding to enzyme
Small Km= tight binding, large Km=weak bindingIt is a measure of substrate concentration required for effective catalysis
Vmax is THEORETICAL MAXIMAL VELOCITYVmax is constant for a given enzyme. It is directly dependent on enzyme conc. It is attained when all of the enzyme binds the substrate. (Since these are equilibrium reactions enzymes tend towards Vmax at high substrate conc but Vmax is never achieved. So it is difficult to measure)
To reach Vmax, ALL enzyme molecules have to be bound by substrate
Kcat is a measure of catalytic activity- direct measure of production of product under saturating conditions.
Kcat is turnover number- number of substrate molecules converted to product per enzyme molecule per unit time
Catalytic efficiency = kcat/kmAllows comparison of effectiveness of an enzyme for different substrates
1
Enzyme Km examples
Hexokinase prefers glucose as a substrate over ATP
2
Km values of enzymes range from 10-1M to 10-7M for their substrates. It also varies depending on substrate, pH, temp, ionic strength etc.
Kcat
Catalase is very efficient-it generates 40 million molecules of product per second.Fumarase is not efficient-it generates only 800 molecules/per second
kkcatcat = V = Vmaxmax / [E] / [E]TT

The catalytic constant, kcat iskcat = Vmax/[ET]for simple reactions, kcat = k2
When [S] << Km, very little ES is formed, such that [E] is almost equal to [ET].
In this case, vo = k2[ET][S]/Km + [S]
becomes = (k2/Km)[ET][S] = (kcat/Km)[ET][S]

How do ENZYMES carry out catalysis?
•Entorpy reduction- holds substrates in proper positionBringing two reactants in close proximity (reduce entropy & increase effective reactant concentrat)
•Substrate is desatbilized when bound to enzyme favoring reaction-(change of solvent, charge-charge interactions strain on chemical bonds).
•Desolvation of substrate- H bonds with water are replaced by H bonds with active site
Enzymes form a covalent bond with substrate which stabilizes ES complex (Transition state is stabilized)Enzyme also interacts non-covalently via MANY weak interactions
Bond formation also provides selectivity and specificity (H bonds- substrates that lack appropriate groups cannot form H bonds and will be poor substrates) (Multiple weak interactions between enzyme and substrate)
Free energy released by forming bonds is used to activate substrate (decrease energy barrier/lower activation energy of reaction)
Induced fit-binding contributes to conformation change in enzyme
Whats the Bill?5.7 kJ/mol is needed to achieve a 10x increase in rate of a reactionTypical weak interactions are 4-30 kJ/molTypical binding event yields 60-100 kJ/molMORE THAN ENOUGH ENERGY!!!

A Hypothetical reaction
12
Breaking a stick
Imagine you have to break a stick. You hold the two ends of the stick together and apply force. The stick bends and finally breaks.You are the catalyst. The force you are applying helps overcome the barrier.
13
A stickase with a pocket complementary in structure to the stick (the substrate) stabilizes the substrate. Bending is impeded by the attraction between stick and stickase.
14
An enzyme with a pocket complementary to the reaction transition state helps to destabilize the stick, contributing to catalysis of the reaction. The binding energy of the interactions between stickase and stick compensates for the energy required to bend the stick.
15
Role of binding energy in catalysis. The system must acquire energy equivalent to the amount by which G‡ is lowered. Much of this energy comes from binding energy (GB) contributed by formation of weak noncovalent interactions between substrate and enzyme in the transition state.
16
Lock/Key or Induced Fit
17
Lock/Key- Complementary shape
The enzyme dihydrofolate reductase with its substrate NADP+
NADP+ binds to a pocket that is complementary to it in shape and ionic properties, an illustration of "lock and key" hypothesis of enzyme action. In reality, the complementarity between protein and ligand (in this case substrate) is rarely perfect,
18
Induced Fit
Hexokinase has a U-shaped structure (PDB ID 2YHX). The ends pinch toward each other in a conformational change induced by binding of D-glucose (red).
19
Substrate specificity
The specific attachment of a prochiral center (C) to an enzyme binding site permits enzyme to differentiate between prochiral grps

23
R GroupsThe active sites of enzymes contain amino acid R groups.Active site is lined with hydrophobic residues
Polar amino acid residues in active site are ionizable and participate in the reaction. Anion/cation of some amino acids are involved in catalysis
Lysozyme: Cleaves glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates
24
Covalent Catalysis
All or part of a substrate is transiently covalently bound to the enzyme to form a reactive intermediate
Group X can be transferred from A-X to B in two steps via the covalent ES complex -EX
A-X+ E <-----> X-E + A
X-E + B <-----> B-X+ E
25
Two mechanisms for acid catalysisSpecific acid catalysis:- A proton is transferred to the substrate in a rapid preequilibrium; Subsequently, the protonated substrate reacts further to form the productSpecific acid–base catalysis means specifically, –OH or H+ accelerate the reaction. The reaction rate is dependent on pH only.
The rate is only dependent on the pH, not on [HA]
General acid catalysis:- Proton transfer occurs in a slow, rate determining step; Subsequently, the protonated substrate rapidly reacts to give the product.
the reaction rate is dependent on all acids/bases present, dependent on the buffer concentration, at constant pH.
General acid/base catalysis by enzymesEnzymes often use general acid or base catalysis:
• They work at neutral pH, so low [H+] and [OH-]
• High localized concentration of general acid/base
• Correct orientation of the acidic/basic group around the substrate
• Optimum catalysis at pH around pKa
General acid-base catalysis involves a molecule besides water that acts as a proton donor or acceptor during the enzymatic reaction. It facilitates a reaction by stabilizing charges in the transition state through the use of an acid or base, which donates protons or accepts them, respectively.
Nucleophilic and electrophilic groups are activated as a result of the proton addition or removal and causes the reaction to proceed.
Side chains of various amino acids act as general acids or general basis
Amino acid residues such as His often have a pKa that is close to neutral pH and are therefore able to act as a general acid or base catalysts

Without a catalyst the intermediate converts back to the reactants and does not proceed forward (high barrier).Donation of a proton by water or an acid helps the process move forward.
The active sites of enzymes contain amino acid R groups, that participate in the catalytic process as proton donors or proton acceptors.
Catalysts
28
Proton donor/acceptor (Nucleophile/electrophile)
Asp and Glu are negatively charged at pH7.0 and their side chains are acidic.These side chains ACCEPT protons which neutralize the charge.
Lys, Arg, His are positively charged at pH 7.0 and their side chains are basic.These side chains DONATE protons to neutralize their charge.

Nucleophiles-groups rich in and capable of donating electron (attracted to nucleus)Electrophile- group deficient in electron (attracted to electron)Reactions are promoted by proton donors (general acids) or proton acceptors (general bases). The active sites of some enzymes contain side groups, that can participate in the catalytic process as proton donors or proton acceptors.

Roles of metals in catalysis:• As “super acid”: comparable to H+ but stronger
• As template: metal ions are able to coordinate to more than 2 ligands and can thereby bring molecules together
• As redox catalyst: many metal ions can accept or donate electrons by changing their redox state

Uncompetitive Inhibitor
Binds only to ES complex but not free enzyme Binds at location other than active site
Does not look like substrate. Binding of inhibitor distorts active site thus preventing substrate binding and catalysis
Cannot be competed away by increasing conc of substrate (Vmax is affected by [I])
Increasing [I] lowers Vmax and lowers Km.
