competitive inhibitor - ANSWER binds to the active site
competes with substrate
will raise apparent Km
will not alter Vmax
Vmax - ANSWER at high substrate, a competitive inhibitor will not alter this
non-competitive inhibitor - ANSWER binds to a distant site
doesn't compete with substrate
will not alter apparent Km
will alter Vmax
enantiomers - ANSWER non-superimposable mirror images
epimers - ANSWER stereoisomers that differ in stereochemistry at one chiral
carbon (exception is trioses)
epimer examples - ANSWER erythrose and threose
glucose and galactose
2 ^# of chiral C - ANSWER number of isomers
hemiacetal - ANSWER aldehyde plus alcohol
beta config - ANSWER one up, one down
alpha config - ANSWER both up
monosaccharides - ANSWER hemiacetal
acetal - ANSWER hemiacetal plus alcohol
disaccharides - ANSWER acetal
lipids - ANSWER non-polar
, major energy source
made of fatty acids
sparingly water soluble
increase with chain length - ANSWER lipid melting point and non-polarity
unsaturated fatty acids - ANSWER liquid at room temp
generally healthier
unsaturated - ANSWER phospholipid bilayer tends to be
nucleoside - ANSWER base and sugar
nucleotide - ANSWER base and sugar and phosphate
adenine and guanine - ANSWER purines
cytosine, thymine, uracil - ANSWER pyrimidines
purines - ANSWER two cyclic rings
pyrimidines - ANSWER one cyclic ring
hydrophobic - ANSWER hydrophobicity of integral membrane proteins
increases fluidity - ANSWER affect of cholesterol on the membrane
lower Km - ANSWER higher affinity (related to Km)
1/v vs 1/[S] - ANSWER Lineweaver-Burk Plot
-1/Km - ANSWER x-intercept of Lineweaver-Burk plot

albumin - ANSWER stabilize osmotic pressure in blood
binds fatty acids during transport
most major plasma protein
competes with substrate
will raise apparent Km
will not alter Vmax
