Michaelis-Menten kinetics
V0 varies with [S]
Vmax
approached
asymptotically
V0 is moles of product
formed per sec. when [P]
is low (close to zero time)
E + SESE + P
Michaelis-Menten Model
V0 = Vmax x[S]/([S] + Km)
Michaelis-Menten Equation
Steady-state & pre-steady-state conditions
At equilibrium,
no net change of [S] & [P]
or of [ES] & [E]
At pre-steady-state,
[P] is low (close to zero
time), hence, V0 for
initial reaction velocity
At pre-steady state, we can ignore the back reactions
Michaelis-Menten kinetics (summary)
Enzyme kinetics (Michaelis-Menten Graph) :
At fixed concentration of enzyme, V0 is almost linearly proportional
to [S] when [S] is small, but is nearly independent of [S] when [S]
is large
k1
k2
Proposed Model: E + S  ES  E + P
ES complex is a necessary intermediate
Objective: find an expression that relates rate of
catalysis to the concentrations of S & E, and the rates
of individual steps
Michaelis-Menten kinetics (summary)
Start with: V0 = k2[ES], and derive,
V0 = Vmax x[S]/([S] + Km)
At low [S] ([S] < Km), V0 = (Vmax/Km)[S]
At high [S] ([S] > Km), V0 = Vmax
When [S] = Km, V0 = Vmax/2.
Thus, Km = substrate concentration at which
the reaction rate (V0) is half max.
Range of Km values
Km provides approximation of [S] in vivo for many enzymes

Increase [S] to

inhibition
Vmax attainable,
Km is increased
Competitive inhibitor
Vmax unaltered, Km increased
Kinetics of non-competitive inhibitor
Increasing [S] cannot
overcome inhibition
Less E available,
Vmax is lower,
Km remains the same
for available E
Noncompetitive inhibitor
Km unaltered, Vmax decreased
Enzyme inhibition by DIPF
Group - specific reagents react with R groups of amino acids
diisopropylphosphofluoridate
DIPF (nerve gas) reacts with Ser in acetylcholinesterase
Affinity inhibitor: covalent modification
Catalytic strategies commonly employed
1. Covalent catalysis.
The active site contains a
reactive group,
usually a nucleophile that becomes
temporarily covalently modified in the course of
catalysis
2. General acid-base catalysis. A chemical reaction is
catalyzed by an acid or a base. The acid is often the
proton and the base is often a hydroxyl ion. A molecule
other than H2O may play the role of a proton donor or
acceptor.
3. Metal ion catalysis. Metal ion can function in
several ways;
• can serve as an electrophile, stabilizing a
negative charge on a reaction intermediate.
• can generate a nucleophile by increasing the
acidity of a nearby molecule, such as H2O in the
hydration of CO2 by carbonic anhydrase.
• can bind to substrate, increasing the number
of interactions with the enzyme.
4. Catalysis by approximation. Bringing two substrates
together along a single binding surface on an enzyme

Regulatory Strategies: Enzymes & Hemoglobin
1. Allosteric control. Proteins contain distinct regulatory sites and
multiple functional sites. Binding of regulatory molecules triggers
conformational changes that affect the active sites.
Display cooperativity: small [S] changes - major activity changes.
Information transducers: signal changes activity or information
shared by sites
2. Multiple forms of enzymes (isozymes). Used at distinct locations or
times. Differ slightly in structure, in Km & Vmax values, and in
regulatory properties
3. Reversible covalent modification. Activities altered by covalent
attachment of modifying group, mostly a phosphoryl group
4. Protleolytic activation. Irreversible conversion of an inactive form
(zymogen) to an active enzyme
