Graphical Determination of Km & kcat
What do Km & kcat really mean? kcat - turnover number 1st order rate constant (units s-1) for turnover at high [S] Km - Michaelis constant Measure of affinity of Substrate binding BUT not the same as Kd! kcat/Km - catalytic efficiency 2nd order rate constant (units M-1 s-1) for turnover at low [S]
Enzyme Inhibition - Reversible
Transition State Analogues for Ligase MurM Inhibitor design: mimic tetrahedral transition state: Transition state Phosphonate analogue
Inhibition by 2’-deoxyadenosine analogue IC50 = 100 µM
Enzyme Inhibition - Irreversible Inhibition e.g. serine protease inhibitor DFP
Pre-Steady State Kinetics —— Application to C-C Hydrolase MhpC Data Simulation Single Exponential Mode A = A0 +A1 exp (-k1t) Double Exponential Mode A= A0 + A1 exp (-k1t) + A2 exp (-k2t) Triple Exponential Mode A= A0 + A1 exp (-k1t) + A2 exp (-k2t) + A3 exp (-k3t)
Fit with single exponential (1 step) Fit with double exponential (2 step)
