Km: Definition
|
Km = Substrate at 0.5*Vmax
Km reflects the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate |
|
|
Vmax indicates what?
|
Vmax is directly proportional to the enzyme concentration.
|
|
|
Relationship between Km and affinity
|
-The lower the Km, the higher the affinity
-Smaller Km means enzyme is saturated earlier, which means that small amounts of substrate are picked up by the enzyme. |
|
|
Reading an inverse curve: Y-intercept equals ?
|
1/Vmax
The higher the Y-intercept the lower the Vmax |
|
|
Reading an inverse curve: X-intercept equals ?
|
(1/-Km)
The further to the right the x-intercept, the greater the Km |
|
|
Reading an inverse curve: Slope equals ?
|
Km/Vmax
|
|
|
Reading an inverse curve: Effect of a competitive inhibitor
|
X-intercept farther to the right, meaning Km is greater, because you need more substrate to get the same effect as the competitive inhibitor is hogging the enzyme.
The y-intercept is the same, meaning Vmax hasn't changed, because there isn't any more enzyme. The slope is greater, because Km has increased while Vmax has stayed the same. |
|
|
Reading an inverse curve: Effect of a noncompetitive inhibitor
|
The x-intercept is the same, meaning Km is the same, because the affinity for the enzyme hasn't changed, there's just less of it.
The y intercept has increased, meaning Vmax has decreased, because enzyme has been inactivated by the noncompetitive inhibitor The slope is greater, because Vmax has decreased while Km has stayed the same. |

Effect on blood pressure: Norepinephrine
|
Increases from 100 to 150
Mechanism: 1. Stimulates alpha more than beta 2. Systolic blood pressure goes up along with but more than diastolic blood pressure 3. Mean blood pressure rises |
|
|
Effect on blood pressure: Epinephrine
|
Mean pressure stays at 100, with wide pulse-pressure (100)
Mechanism: 1. Nonselectively stimulates both alpha and beta receptors 2. Alpha receptors: Systolic blood pressure goes up AND beta receptors: Diastolic blood pressure goes down 3. Mean blood pressure stays the same 4. Pulse pressure is wide |
|
|
Effect on blood pressure: Isoproterenol
|
Mean blood pressure goes down to 50, but pulse-pressure becomes wider (~75).
Mechanism: 1. Stimulates beta more than alpha. 2. Diastolic drops along with but more than systolic blood pressure 3. Mean blood pressure drops with wide pulse pressure |
|
|
Effect on heart rate: Norepinephrine
|
1. Mean pressure goes up
2. Goes down to 50 (reflex bradycardia) |
|
|
Effect on heart rate: Epinephrine
|
1. Beta-1 receptors are stimulated
2. Increases to 100 |
|
|
Effect on heart rate: Isoproterenol
|
1. Beta-1 receptors are stimulated more than alpha receptors
