Kinetics of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions


Study of the change throughout reaction speed since the reactant attention will be diverse is amongst the principal proportions in kinetic analysis. Time for AàP, a story in the impulse rate as a purpose on the awareness of a produces any straight range whose downward slope can be k (Figure. 6).

Greater A that's available, the more the actual charge with the reaction, v. Similar analyses associated with enzyme-catalyzed reactions regarding only a sole substrate yield astonishingly different effects (Physique. 7). In low levels in the substrate S, v is actually proportional to help [S], as you expected for a first-order response. Even so, v doesn't enhance proportionally seeing that [S] raises, but instead begins to help amount off. In substantial [S], v will become virtually unbiased of [S] as well as methods some sort of optimum restrict. The significance connected with v at this reduce can be created Vmax. Mainly because rate isn't any more time relying on [S] with these types of higher concentrations of mit, the particular enzyme-catalyzed reaction has become obeying zero-order kinetics; that is, your rate is in addition to the reactant (substrate) focus. This particular conduct is usually a saturation effect: as soon as v demonstrates not any increase even though [S] is improved, the machine is actually condensed using substrate. Such plots of land are usually referred to as substrate saturation curves. The actual actual physical design can be that every enzyme molecule from the impulse blend has the substrate-binding web page active through S. Certainly, this kind of curves ended up the first hint as to an enzyme interacts straight using its substrate by holding the item.
The Michaelis - Menten Equation
Lenore Michaelis in addition to Maud L. Menten suggested a general principle involving enzyme motion in 1913 according to discovered enzyme kinetics. The concept had been while using supposition how the enzyme, E, and substrate, S, link reversibly to form a good enzyme-substrate complex, ES:
 ......(6)
This association/dissociation is assumed to be a rapid equilibrium, and Ks is the enzyme : substrate dissociation constant. At equilibrium,
                      k-1[ES]  =  k1[E][S]                  ....(7)


and
....(8)
Product, P, is formed in a second step when ES breaks down to yield E + P.
 ....(9)
E is then free to interact with another molecule of S.

Steady-State Supposition

The particular interpretations of Michaelis along with Menten were being sophisticated along with prolonged inside 1925 by means of Briggs in addition to Haldane, through if it turns out the particular awareness from the enzyme-substrate intricate ES quickly actually reaches consistent benefit in that energetic method. This is, ES is usually created while quickly through   E + S because it goes away by means of its two possible fates: dissociation to regenerate E + S, and a reaction to form E + P. These specific predictions will be named the actual steady-state premiss and it is stated while.

....(10)
That's, this alter within awareness connected with ES as time passes, t, is usually 0. Figure.8 shows any time training course for creation of the ES complicated and also establishment in the steady-state problem.
Initial Velocity Assumption
One other simplification will be useful. Due to the fact nutrients quicken this price on the reverse effect in addition to the onward reaction; it would be helpful to disregard almost any again impulse in which E1P may well type ES. The actual velocity of the rear response would be written by v = k-2[E][P]. On the other hand, in the event all of us view solely the first rate for your effect once E in addition to S are usually merged in the absence of P, your fee associated with just about any returning response is usually negligible ecause it's charge will likely be proportional for you to [P], along with [P] is essentially 0. Offered like simplification, we now examine the system referred to through Equation.9 to be able to explain your initial speed v as being a operate regarding [S] along with quantity of enzyme.

The whole volume of enzyme is static and is specified by the principle

Total enzyme, [ET] = [E] + [ES]      …..11

WHERE [E] = FREE ENZYME AND [ES] = THE AMOUNT OF ENZYME IN THE ENZYME-
SUBSTRATE COMPLEX. FROM Eq..9, THE RATE OF [ES] FORMATION IS

        vf = k1 ( [ET] - [ES] ) [S]

where
        [ET] – [ES] = [E]                 ....12

From Equation.9, the rate of [ES] disappearance is
        Vd =k1 [ES] + k2 [ES] = (k1 + k2) [ES]       …..13

At steady state, d[ES]/dt = 0, and therefore, vf vd
So,
        K1([ET] – [ES]) [S] = (k1 + k2) [ES]                ……14

Rearranging gives
        (([Er] – [ES]) [S]) / [ES] = (k1 + k2) / k1    ……15


The Michaelis Constant, Km

The ratio of constants (k1 + k2)/k1 is itself a constant and is defined as the Michaelis constant , Km
                   Km = (k1 + k2)/k1   …..16

Note from (15) that Km is given by the ratio of two concentrations (([ET] – [ES]) and [S] to one ([ES]), KM has the units of molarity . From Equation . 15, we can write
        ([Er] – [ES])[S] = Km x [ES]    …..17

Which rearranges to
        [ES]( Km + [S] ) = [Er] – [S]   …..18

Currently, the maximum significant limit in the kinetics of some response is the rate of product establishment. This rate is assumed by
        v= d[P]/dt  ….19

and for this reaction
        v= k2[ES]   ….20

Substituting the appearance for [ES] from Equation (18) into (Eq.20) gives
        V= (k2[Er][S]) / Km+[S]               ……21

The product k2[ET] has special meaning. When [S] is high enough to saturate all of the enzyme, the velocity of the reaction, v, is maximal. At saturation, the amount of [ES] complex is equal to the total enzyme concentration, ET, its maximum possible value. From Equation (20), the initial velocity v then equals k2[ET] = Vmax. Written symbolically, when [S]  >> [ET] (and Km), [ET] = [ES] and v = Vmax. Therefore,
        Vmax=k2[ET]                ……..22

Substituting this relationship into the expression for v gives the Michaelis-
Menten Equation
                v=(Vmax[S]) / Km=[S]           …..23

This equation says that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, v, at any moment is determined by two constants, Km and Vmax, and the concentration of substrate at that moment.
When [S] = Km, v = Vmax/2

We can provide an operational definition for the constant Km by rearranging Equation (23) to give
        Km=[S]({Vmax/v} – 1)           …..24

Then, at v = Vmax/2, Km = [S]. That is, Km is defined by the substrate concentration that gives a velocity equal to one-half the maximal velocity. Table .3 , gives the Km values of some enzymes for their substrates.
Relationships Between Vmax, Km, and Reaction Order

The Michaelis-Menten equation (23) labels a arch known from analytical geometry as a quadrilateral hyperbola.1 In such arches, as [S] is increased, v approaches the limiting value, Vmax, in an asymptotic fashion. Vmax can be approximated experimentally from a substrate saturation curve (Figure 7), and Km can be derived from Vmax /2, so the two constants of the Michaelis-Menten equation can be obtained from plots of v versus [S]. Note, however, that actual estimation of Vmax, and consequently Km, is only approximate from such graphs. That is, according to Equation (23), in order to get v = 0.99 Vmax, [S] must equal 99 Km, a concentration that may be difficult to achieve in practice.

            From Equation (23), when [S] >> Km, then v = Vmax. That is, v is no longer dependent on [S], so the reaction is obeying zero-order kinetics. Also, when [S] < Km, then v » (Vmax/ Km)[S]. That is, the rate, v, approximately follows a first-order rate equation, v = k'[A], where k' = Vmax / Km.

            Km and Vmax, once known explicitly, define the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, provided:

1. The reaction involves only one substrate, or if the reaction is multisubstrate, the concentration of only one substrate is varied while the concentration of all other substrates is held constant.

2. The reaction ES à E + P is irreversible, or the experiment is limited to observing only initial velocities where [P] = 0.

3. [S]0 > [ET] and [ET] is held constant.

4. All other variables that might influence the rate of the reaction (temperature, pH, ionic strength, and so on) are constant.

Enzyme Units

In many situations, the actual molar amount of the enzyme is not known. However, its amount can be expressed in terms of the activity observed. The International Commission on Enzymes defines One International Unit of enzyme as the amount that catalyzes the formation of one micromole of product in one minute. (Because enzymes are very sensitive to factors such as pH, temperature, and ionic strength, the conditions of assay must be specified.) Another definition for units of enzyme activity is the katal. One katal is that amount of enzyme catalyzing the conversion of one mole of substrate to product in one second. Thus, one katal equals 6 x 107 international units.

Turnover Number

The turnover number of an enzyme, kcat, is a measure of its maximal catalytic activity. kcat is defined as the number of substrate molecules converted into product per enzyme molecule per unit time when the enzyme is saturated with substrate. The turnover number is also referred to as the molecular activity of the enzyme. For the simple Michaelis-Menten reaction (9) under conditions of initial velocity measurements, k2 =  kcat. Provided the concentration of enzyme, [ET], in the reaction mixture is known, kcat can be determined from Vmax. At saturating [S], v = Vmax = k2 [ET]. Thus,
                K2 = Vmax/[Er] = kcat  ……(25)

The term kcat represents the kinetic efficiency of the enzyme. Table .4 lists turnover numbers for some representative enzymes. Catalase has the highest turnover number known; each molecule of this enzyme can degrade 40 million molecules of H2O2 in one second! At the other end of the scale, lysozyme requires 2 seconds to cleave a glycosidic bond in its glycan substrate.
Kcat/Km
Under physiological conditions, [S] is seldom saturating, and kcat itself is not particularly informative. That is, the in vivo ratio of [S]/Km usually falls in the range of 0.01 to 1.0, so active sites often are not filled with substrate. Nevertheless, we can derive a meaningful index of the efficiency of Michaelis-Menten-type enzymes under these conditions by employing the following equations. As presented in Equation (23), if
.....(26a)


and Vmax = kcat [ET], then
....(26b)

When [S] << Km, the concentration of free enzyme, [E], is approximately equal to [ET], so that
......(27)

That is, kcat / Km is an apparent Second-order rate constant for the reaction of E and S to form product. Because Km is inversely proportional to the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate and kcat is directly proportional to the kinetic efficiency of the enzyme, kcat / Km provides an index of the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme operating at substrate concentrations substantially below saturation amounts.
            An interesting point emerges if we restrict ourselves to the simple case where kcat  = k2. Then
...........(28)

But k1 must always be greater than or equal to k1k2/(k-1 + k2). That is, the reaction can go no faster than the rate at which E and S come together. Thus, k1 sets the upper limit for kcat / Km. In other words, the catalytic efficiency of an enzyme cannot exceed the diffusion-controlled rate of combination of E and S to form ES. In H2O, the rate constant for such diffusion is approximately 109/M × sec. Those enzymes that are most efficient in their catalysis have kcat / Km ratios approaching this value. Their catalytic velocity is limited only by the rate at which they encounter S; enzymes this efficient have achieved so-called catalytic perfection. All E and S encounters lead to reaction because such “catalytically perfect” enzymes can channel S to the active site, regardless of where S hits E. Table .5 lists the kinetic parameters of several enzymes in this category. Note that kcat and Km both show a substantial range of variation in this table, even though their ratio falls around 108/M × sec.

















Linear Plots Can Be Derived from the Michaelis - Menten Equation

Because of the hyperbolic shape of v versus [S] plots, Vmax can only be determined from an extrapolation of the asymptotic approach of v to some limiting value as [S] increases indefinitely (Figure .7); and Km is derived from that value of [S] giving v = Vmax/2. However, several rearrangements of the Michaelis-Menten equation transform it into a straight-line equation. The best known of these is the Lineweaver-Burk double-reciprocal plot:
            
Taking the reciprocal of both sides of the Michaelis-Menten equation, Equation (.23), yields the equality

.........(.29)

This conforms to y5mx1b (the equation for a straight line), where y = 1/v; m, the slope, is Km/Vmax; x = 1/[S]; and b = 1/Vmax. Plotting 1/v versus 1/[S] gives a straight line whose x-intercept is -1/ Km, whose y-intercept is 1/ Vmax, and whose slope is Km / Vmax (Figure .9).
The Hanes-Woolf plot is another rearrangement of the Michaelis-Menten equation that yields a straight line:

            Multiplying both sides of Equation (29) by [S] gives

...... (.30)

and
.......(.31)

Graphing [S]/v versus [S] yields a straight line where the slope is 1/ Vmax, the y-intercept is Km/Vmax, and the x-intercept is -Km, as shown in Figure .10. The common advantage of these plots is that they allow both Km and Vmax to be accurately estimated by extrapolation of straight lines rather than asymptotes. Computer fitting of v versus [S] data to the Michaelis-Menten equation is more commonly done than graphical plotting.

The Deeper Look
An illustration of this the consequence associated with Amino Acid Substitutions on Km along with kcat: Wild-Type along with Mutant Varieties of Man Sulfite Oxidase

Mammalian sulfite oxidase would be the past enzyme inside pathway intended for destruction of sulfur-containing amino acids. Sulfite oxidase (SO) catalyzes your oxidation of sulfite (SO32-) to be able to sulfate (SO42-), with all the heme-containing healthy proteins, cytochrome c, as electron acceptor:

SO32- + 2 cytochrome coxidized + H2O SO42- + 2 cytochrome creduced + 2 H+

Isolated sulfite oxidase insufficiency can be a unusual and often critical anatomical problem throughout people. The sickness will be seen as critical neurological abnormalities, uncovered while convulsions after that birth. R. M. Garrett along with K. V. Rajagopalan with Duke University Infirmary have isolated this man cDNA regarding sulfite oxidase from the cells regarding usual (wild-type) and also SO-deficient individuals. Appearance these SO cDNAs within altered Escherichia coli cells helped the particular isolation along with kinetic research associated with wild-type and mutant kinds of SO, as well as just one (designated R160Q) that Arg on situation 160 from the polypeptide string will be replaced through Gln. A genetically manufactured edition involving SO (selected R160K) through which Lys replaces Arg160 seemed to be in addition learnt.

Replacing R160 in sulfite oxidase by Q increases Km, decreases kcat, and markedly diminishes the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of the enzyme. The R160K mutant enzyme has properties intermediate between wild-type and the R160Q mutant form. The substrate, SO32-, is strongly anionic, and R160 is one of several Arg residues situated within the SO substrate-binding site. Positively charged side chains in the substrate-binding site facilitate SO32- binding and catalysis, with Arg being optimal in this role.

Effect of pH on Enzymatic Activity

Enzyme-substrate reputation plus the catalytic functions of which ensue usually are greatly relying on pH. An enzyme possesses a range of ionizable facet chains and prosthetic groupings that will besides determine the second in addition to tertiary construction although can also be totally interested in it is lively site. Additional, the particular substrate by itself often possesses ionizing teams, and one or perhaps yet another on the ionic varieties may perhaps preferentially connect to this enzyme. Enzymes normally are usually productive just over the confined pH array and a lot use a distinct pH where their own catalytic task is actually ideal. These types of effects of pH might be as a result of side effects on Km or Vmax or maybe each. Figure.11 shows your general activity of 4 enzymes being a purpose of pH. Although the pH perfect of your enzyme usually displays the actual pH of it is standard environment, this perfect is probably not exactly the similar. This distinction shows that the particular pH-activity reply of an enzyme could be a aspect in the particular intracellular rules regarding it is pastime.

Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity
Like most compound side effects, the particular premiums associated with enzyme-catalyzed allergic reactions generally enhance using improving heat. Even so, from temperature ranges over 50° to help 60°C, enzymes commonly demonstrate a fall inside action (Feg.12). Two results are usually operating here: (some sort of ) the attribute boost in problem rate with temperatures, in addition to (m ) cold weather denaturation connected with health proteins design from increased temperature ranges. Many enzymatic allergic reactions twice within price for every single 10°C rise within heat (that is certainly, Q10 = 2, in which Q10 is defined as the relation of activities at 2 temperatures 10° separate ) provided that this enzyme is dependable as well as thoroughly active. A number of enzymes, those catalyzing side effects getting very good initial energies, show proportionally increased Q10 beliefs. Your raising price having improving heat will be eventually balance out because of the lack of stability connected with larger instructions of proteins structure on elevated temperatures, the place that the enzyme is inactivated. Don't assume all enzymes will be thus thermally labile. For example, the actual enzymes regarding thermophilic bacteria (thermophilic =”heat-loving”) present in geothermal rises maintain whole task from temps over 85°C.
