myoglobinfound in muscle tissue, responsible for storage of oxygen and intracellular transport
hemoglobinfound in red blood cells, transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
hemeprosthetic group that specifically binds to myoglobin and hemoglobin into a hydrophobic crevice, is not covalenelty bound
prostheitc groupcofactor that covalently binds very tightly to a protein 
function of hemecontains iron, which readily binds to oxygen and other gases since Hb and Mb cannot bind to oxygen by themselves
protoporyphyrin IXbinds iron to an amino acid or peptide through four N atoms. When it is bound to iron, the complex is called heme
proximal histidinethe 8th histidine residue, the N of the imidazole side chain binds directly to iron 
how many ligands does iron like to be bound to 6 binding groups in octahedral geometry ( four are from poryphyrin, one is from imidazole side chain)
6th coordination site of deoxyhemoglobin vs oxyomyoglobindeoxy- the 6th site is left open, iron does not bind to anything. In oxy, the 6th side is occupied by oxygen
how does the distal histidine help stabalize oxygen binding the distal histidine H bonds to O2. It thus increases the binding specficigy for binding to O2 over other gases, because the distal histidine cannot hydrogen bond to other gases liek CO
what color does a spectrum display when hemobglobin binds to oxygenas more oxygen binds, the visible spectrum shifts from blue to red 
how can UV/vis be used to determine the fraction of Mb or Hb that is bound to oxygen?absorbance is prop to amount of O2 bound, so as more O2 is bound, a visible change from blue to red/purple occurs
looking at a binding curve: what is Yo2?the fraction of O2 binding sites that rae occupied with O2
looking at a binding curve: what is P50?the [O2] at which 50% of myoglobin molecules are bound to oxygen  (same as Kd but in units of pressure)- O2 binding affinity of myoglobin!!
what does lower P50 indicate?higher binding affinity, and higher means lower binding affinity 
what does it mean that myglobin has a low P50 and why does it have this?means high binding affinity for oxygen, bc its function is to store oxygen in muslce cells where  Po2 is low
Po2 levels in the msuclesat normal resting, the Po2 in msucle is low, but when Po2drops due to msucle acitivy, oxygen is released
why is myglobin inefficent in transport from the lungs to the muscles it is a hyperbolic binding curve, so high binding affinity, low P50 means that not enough oxygen would be released into the muslces. with low binding affinity, high P50, the protein would not satruate with O2 in the lungs
what does the curve look like for an optimal transport protein (of oxygen from the lungs to the muscles)high binding affinity in the lungs, but low binding affinity in the tissues so oxygen can be released 
how many oxygen binding sites does hemoglobin contain4 total
what are the two types of subunits in hemoglobin, and what type of interactions bind them together/ how do we know?there are two alpha units and two beta units. When placed in mild detergent hemoglobin seperates into two alpha-beta dimers, which suggests that there are strong noncovalent interactions btwn alpha and beta subunits 
cooperative binding since hemoglobin has 4 binding sites, binding of oxygen at one subunit increases the binding affinity at remaining sites 
what is evidence for cooperative binding sigmoidal binding curves- starts out with a low slope, and then the slope rapidly increases before leveling off 
why is the binding curve for hemoglobin sigmoidal?at low Po2, hemoglobin binds to oxygen with low affinity, but as more oxygen binds, the affinity for O2 increases, Hemoglobin can also shift btwn confomrations that either have high or low binding affinity for oxygen 
hill coefficent number of binding sites (n) and how strongly they interact 
When does the value of h approach n as the interactionbetween sites increases
what happens when h=1there is no interaction between binding sites
what happens when h is between 1 and npositive cooperativity, binding of one ligand makes binding of additional ligands more favorable (observed in hemoglobin!!)
when h<1negative cooperativty, thus binding of one ligand makes binding of the others less favorable 
allosteric effectligand binding alters the strucutre of a protein, and thus its functional properties 
what are the two models for allosteric transitions that promote oxygen binding and release in hemoglobinsequential (KNF) model, and symmetry (MWC) model 
sequential KNF model each hemoglobin subunit can changes its conformation from a low affintity state to high affinity state independently of the other subnitis. However, oxygen binding at one subunit favors transition to higher affinity state in adjacent subunits 
the symmetry model the entire hemoglobin tetrameter exists in low affintiy (T state) or affinity (R state) conformation. (so lies between equilibirum between the two) Binding of oxygen favors the R state/ high affinity state. shift from Tense to relaxed is concered
what model for allosteric transitions is favored and whysymmetry model bc there is a lot of evidence that supports it, such as x ray crystallography 
according to x ray crystallography, what is the difference btwn T and R states O2 binding (R state)causes rotation of alpha-beta dimer relative to each other, bringing beta subunits much closer together and closing the central cavity btwn subunits 
why would hemoglobin ever change conformation?one form is more stable than the other depending on if oxygen is bound 
when is hb T state from stabalized vs R state formT is stablized in deoxy form while R is more stable once oxygen binds 
what are the strong non covalent interactions that stabalize the deoxyy t state -inter subunit salt bridge btwn his146 carboxylate and a lys side chain of the alpha sub unit (and also btwn his and asp side chain)<br>- at the alpha subunit c terminus the terminal arg forms two sallt bridges with the other alpha subunit and an h bond with the beta subunit (and makes a bridging interaction through a chloride ion)
how doe hb transition from T to Rintreactions must be broken to transition to R, unfavorable energy cost is paid by favorable oxygen binding 
what does the iron atom look like in the deoxy state of hbit is pulled slightly out of the plane of the proyphorin and the proximial his is not peripinduclar to the plane of heme
what does the subunit look like once oxygen is boundiron atom is pulled onto the plane of heme and the proximal his rotates to tbe peripindicualr, this pulls down the F helix, producing a larger confromational shift in the protein strucutre placing all subunits in the R state
what favors oxygen release at low Po2R state is stabalixed with increasing O2 saturation, the T state is more stable without full saturation so it favors oxygen release
perutz mechanism for T to R transition strcutural reorganization at the heme binding site upon oxygen binding produces the larger conformational shift from T to R
tetsed peurtz model wild type hemoglbin characterisitcs oxygen binding pulls on F-helix, hemoglobin transtiions from T to R
tetsed peurtz mode proximal his to G mutatnat + free imidazole hemoglbin characterisitcs oxygen binding is unlinked from the F felix so hemoglobin is stuck in the T state 
"""Unlinking the F helix from heme abolishes cooperativity""  true or false"true
how does a mutation of H146D in the beta subunit of hemoglobin affect the ability of hemoglobin to deliver oxygen to tissues the mutation increaes oxygen binding affinity and thus decreases oxygen delivery to tissues, because H146  is invovled in a salt bridge interaction that stabalizes the hemoglobin T state. If this charge interaction cannot occur, hB is unresponsive to the Bohr effect and stability of T state is decreased. 
allosteric effectorsmolecules that bind to a protein to regulate function
active sitelocatin on a protein where a small molecule must bind to carry out its primary function
substratesmolecules that bind a the active site 
what is the active site for heme and whythe heme pocket bc this is where oxygen is bound 
allosteric siteslocations distant from the active site that bind to small molecules and regulate function at the active site
positive vs negative effectors increase protein activity upon binding vs decrease protein activity upon binding 
homotropic vs heterotropic effectors bind at active site and affect their own binding, bind at allosteric sites distant from the active site 
what are the four heterotropic effectors that negatviely regulate hemoglobin and what do they do H+, CO2, Chloride, and BPG  which decrease oxygen binding affinity
bohr effectresponse to a drop in pH, rbc's adapt to changes by maximizing hemoglobin oxygen binding capacity in the lungs while also optimizing oxygen delivery to tissues with the greatest demand 
what drops the pH in tissues and bloodcarbonic anhydrse catalyzes conversion of CO2 into bicarbonate and H+, lactic acid is also produced by vigorous activity which causes a combined dropi n pH
is there a salt bridge present in the r state of hbno
how to dyou increase the release of oxygen stabalize the T state of hb, which is stabalized by a salt bridge froming between his and asp near the c terminus of the beta subunit 
in the R state is his mostly unprotenated or protenated at physiolocial pH and whymostly unprotenated bc it has a pka of 6.4
Is H146 protenated or deprotenated at phsyicolgical temp in the T state nd what affect does this haveit is protenated, allowing the salt bridge to form, as pH drops, a larger fraction of H146 is protenated which favors transition to the T state and release of oxygen 
how does Co2 help regulate oxygen binding affinitydissolved carbon dioxide generates bicarbonate and H+, the bicarbonate can react w the N terminus of hemoglobin to form carbamate which contributes to bohr effect
what does carbamate formation allowhemoglobn to transport some co2 into the lungs 
example of CO2 regulationhyperventilatoin (breathe too fast, Co2 levels will drop and oxygen will not be efficently deliverd to the tissues 
how does chloride impact favored hb state and co2 concentrationwhen bicarbonate is transferred out of the cell, chloride is transferred into the cell. (so higher Co2, higher cl). chlordie ions also stabalize the N terminus of the alpha subunit so higher [cl] therefore facors deoxy hb and weaker oxygen binding affinity
BPGallosteric regulator that is very negative, it binds in the central cavity of the hb
the higher BPG concentration, which state is favoredthe T/ deoxy state is stabalized bc the cavity is opened and BPG can bind so there will be lower oxygen binding affinity. (R state is not large enough to fit BPG)
carbamate when bicarbonate reats with the N terminus of hb this is what is formed 
what is the equation for formation of carbamate"<img src=""Screen Shot 2024-05-11 at 10.45.13 AM.png"">"
higher [BPG]...lowers Hb affinity for oxygen and promotes its release into tissues , also how we acclimate to high altitudes
fetal hemoglobinfetus relies on mother for oxygen so must have higher affinity for oxygen than the mothers, has a mutation to bind 2,3-BPG with lower affinity thus favoring the R state more strongly and having a higher affintiy for O2 bidnig than the mother

rate of the forward rxn is given bychange in product or substrate concentrations over time 
reaction rate is prop to...reactant concentration (rate law!!)
what is k and what does it tell youhow fast the rxn is 
n: what does it depend on and what are the diff units?depends on reactin order, must be experimentally determined<br>for first order: units are 1/s<br>for second order: units are 1/Ms
what values do enzymes effect and what values do they not effectthey effect [p]/[s] and K1/K-1 but do not effect Keq
enzymes function and what they do not do they increase the rate of chemical reactions, do not affect the thermodynamic favoribility of the rxn, or the equilibirum distributions of reactants and products 
transition statestrcuture in which molecules are colliding in the proper orientation to permit a reaction. Covalent bonds are half broken, formed, or strained and it is higher in energy that the reactants and products 
free energy of activationenergy diff between the reactants and the transition state, the energy barrier that must be overcome for a reaction to occur 
rate constant is related to .. what equation gives this relationshipfree energy of activation, arrhenius equation
what are the two ways to increase the rate of a reactionincrease temp (not ideal for cells), or lower the activation energy 
how do enzymes increase the rate of biochemical rxnslower the activation energy aka stabalize the transition state of a reaction 
what are the important takeawys of a free energy diagram1) free energy is the same whether the enzyme is present or not<br>2) enzyme lowers actiavtion energy for both the forward and reverse reactions 
rate enhancement ratio of rate constants for the catalyzed divided by uncatlayzed reaction (Kcat over Knon)
how do we determine how  much energetic stablization is required to acheive rate enhancements rate enhancement and arrhenius equation to get delta delta G energy of activation
what is delta delta G diff in activation energy btwn the catalyzed and uncatlayzed rxns 
what does an enzyme need to acheive massive rate enhancementa few stabalixing noncovalent interactions with the transition state
one way to lower activation energy relative to the uncatalyzed rxn: lower delta H (enthalpy)cna do this by making favorable NC interactins with the transition state, usually the biggest contributer to lowering delta G
to lower activation energy, the enzyme must bind to >>>the transition state w higher affinity than the substrate
induced fit binding the enzyme has a strucutre that is complementrary to the transition state, so only the two can bind together
one way to lower activation energy relative to the uncatalyzed rxn: raise delta S(entropy)aka make delta S less negative, raises this by binding substrates and constraining them into a very specfic oreintation that favors reaction, so very little change in conformational entropy is required before the molecules react 
methods use to lower free energy by enzymeselectrostatic catalysis, general acid base catalysis, catalysis by approx, conformational strain and distortion, covalent catalysis 
electrostatic catalysisusing charged amino acid side chains or metal ions to stabalize positive and negative charges that develop over the course of a rxn (lowers delta H)
general acid base catalysisgeneral acids and bases are amino acid residues that facilitate proton transfers in the enzyme reacioton mechansim (general means acid/base besides water)
ex of enzyme catalyzed rxn ester hydrolysiswater attacks at the site of the carbonyl, then both an acid and base deprotanate/ protenate at the same time to form an intermdiate that speeds up the reaction
common acid/bases used by enzymesduring GABCglu, asp, lys, arg, his 
catalysis by approximation bringing two reactants in very close proximity to position them favorably so the rxn can succeed, invovles the removal of both translational and rotational degrees of freedom which raises delta S
conformational strain and distortionbinding substrates in a way that induces structural strain can make them much more reactive, raises the free energy of the enzyme substrate complex 
covalent catalysisenzyme provides an alternate reaction pathway that invovles a covalent intermediate. The intermediate is lower in energy than the uncatalyzed transition state. the activation energies for formation and breakdown of the intermediate are lower than that of the uncatalyzed rxn 
what needs to happen for covalent catalysis to work 1) steps in alternate rxn pathway must have lower delta G than uncatalyzed rxn<br>2) the covalent intermediate is less stable than product
which amino acids form covalent intermediates in enzyme rxnsany that can act as nucs, such as cys, ser, thr or asp, gly, tyr
proteasesenzymes that catalyze peptide amide bond hydrolysis
ex of some proteases and their functionstrypsin, chymotrypisn, and subtilisn imp for digestion of protein and peptide nutrients. Thrombin and plasmin have roles in blood clotting, elastase is secreted by bacteria to help digest connective tissue
serine proteaseuse a serine residue as a nucleophile to acheive amide bond cleavage 
what is the mechanism for uncatalyzed amide hydrolysisdirect attack of water on the amide carbonyl gourp to form a tetrhaderal intermediate
hartley and kilby model for chymotrypsin mechanism - chymotrypisin reacts w ester substrate PNPA to make a yellow product <br>- rapid burst of yellow than plateu, which is called biphasic kinetics, adding more enzyme had same effect<br>- thus chymotrypsin doesn't catalyze direct amide hydorlysis it occurs in two steps
again what does the biphasic kinetic model suggestchymotrypisin amid hydrolysis mechanism is done in two steps: fast burst and slow step (slow = rate determing step)
rate determining stepslowest step within a chemical reaction
how was the identity of active site residue found/ what is itincubating chymotrypsin with an inhibitor, DIPF blocks enzyme activity by modifying the protein, covalently binds to only one ser residue
what is the active site nucleophile in chymotrpsinand how does this make sensethe alochol side chain of serine, which is only a good nuc if deprotenated. therefore a base must be present to deprotenate it 
evidence for his being invovled as a base in the chymotrupsin mechansim based on graph, enzyme is maximally active at pH 7.5-8, his has pka closest to neutral, thus it can act as a base to deproenate ser (but only at pH greater than 7)
what are the three catalytic residues/ catalytic triad of serinehis (base), ser (nuc), asp 
how are the catalytic triad arranged?his hydrogen bonds to the serine hydroxyl group, asp makes ser positioned within h bonding distance to his which stabalizes the postive charge that would build up on his when it is protenated. 
how does the presence of asp affect his pka ? how does it affect basicicity of his?stabalization of the his conjugate acid by asp is sufficent to make his basic enough to deprotenate ser 
what are the three combo mechansims of chymotrypsin to achieve amide bond hydrolysis general acid base catalaysis, covalent catalysis, electrostatic catalysis
what is the first step of the chymotrypsin mechanism called"the ""acylation"" step"
step 1 of chymotrypsin mechanism a peptide substrate binds, the catalytic triad activates ser as a nuc, his acts as general base to faciltiae nuc attack on the amide carbonyl 
step 2 of chymotrypsin mechanism tetrahedral intermediate is formed and the negative charges are stabalized by backbone amides in the oxyanion hold. His acts as a general acid to facilitate breakdwon of the intermediate and expulsion of the amine leaving group
oxyanion holepocket in the active site of an enzyme that stabalizes transition state negative charge on a deprotenated oxygen or alkoxide 
step 3 of chymotrypsin mechanism the amine leaving group exits the enzyme. the acylated ser residue is left, which is calle dthe acyl enzyme intermediate. Ser is covalently bound to the substrate
acyl enzyme intermediae the acylated ser residue left in step 3
the second half of the chymotrypsin mechanism is referred to as the deacylation step 
step 4 of chymotrypsin mechanism a water molecule enters the active site and attacks the acyl enzyme intermediate. His again acts as a general base to help deprotenate water 
step 5 of chymotrypsin mechanism a new tetrahdera; intermediate is formed and stabalized oxyanion hole. His acts as a general acid to facitliate breakdwon of intermediate and expulsion of the carboxyl LG
step 6 of chymotrypsin mechanism the C terminal product leaves and the enzyme is ready for another round of catalysis 
why do some serine proteases have unqiue substrate preferences when the mechanism and active site structures are nearly identical?there is a pocket near the active site reidues that accommodates the aminoa cid side chain that is c terminal to the scissile amide bond. In chymotrypsin, this pocket is hydorphobic thus only aromatic hydrophobic residues can bind. 
ex of specificity within the pocket- trypsin and elastasetrypsin has an asp so the negative charged residue selects for positive substrates. elastase has two bulk residues so larger amino acids are excluded which is why it prefers to cleave at ala and gly.
examples of other protease familiescysteine, metalloproteases, aspartyl proteases
cysteine proteasesuse an active site cys as a nuc (ex papain, bromelain, cathespin B)
metalloproteasesuse a metal ion to facilitate direct attack of water on the amide bond (ex carboxypeptidase A)
aspartyl proteasesuse aspartate to facilitate direct attack by water. Often active at low pH like in the gastric fluid

what type of catalysis does lysozyme use substrate strain/distrortion 
describe substrate strain/distrotionsugar at site D is distroed from its most stable, chair conformation into what resembles half chair.. destabalization of a substrate can make it more reactive 
what are the two catalytic residues identified for lysozyme activityE35 and D52
what is the mx pH acitivty of lysozymepH 5, E35 is buried in the binding cleft and thus an elevated pKa of 6 for this residue is expected
DF2 and E35 must be protenated or deprotenatedDF2 must be deprotenated and E35 protenated 
two mechanisms for lysozyme all invovleelectrostatic catlaysis, general acid base catalysis, and catalysis by strain/distortion
mechanism 1 of lysozyome formationSn1 like reaction, E35 acts as a general acid to make GlcNAc a better leaving group. Forms a carbocation like intermediate called an oxocarbenium, which is stabalized by D52 which is deproteonated in an ion pair interaction
oxocarbeniumhalf chair structure
how is the substrate impacted upon binding to lysozyme substratedistorted when binding to lysozyme into an orientation resembling that of the transition state and oxocarbenium intermediate 
Mechanism 2 of lysozome formation"SN2 liek double displacement mechanism, E35 again acts as a general acid to make ""OR"" a better leaving group, OR leaving accours with simultaneous nuc attack of D52 on the anomeric carbon leading to a covalent intermediate , covalent catalaysis "

what does a larger Kcat/ K m ratio indicatedgreater enzyme preference for a substrate 
what do mutations affecting Kcat indicatethe residue is invovled in catalaysis (lowering activation energy)
Mutations affecting Km indicatethe residue is involved in substrate binding 
how can Kcat and Km be determined from datausing non linear regression analysis 
michaelis menten equation"<img src=""Screen Shot 2024-05-11 at 8.15.33 PM.png"">"
when [s]=Km...the reaction is at half maximal velocity
when [s]<<Km...the intial rate is directly prop to [s] the curve is roughly linear at low [s]
when [s]>> Km...the rxn is zero order with respect to the substrate V0=Vmax
Km michaelis constantKm, units of concnetration, tells you the substrate concentration required for effective catalaysis 
turnover numberaka Kcat, tells the time required for the enzyme to convert 
large kcat and small Km is indicative of whatefficent catalysis bc the ratio is larger
what can be used to measure product formation UV-vis spectroscopy 
lineweaver burke plot measures Kcat and Km 
irreversible inhibitors covalently modify the enzyme
reversible inhibitors binds to an enzyme via noncovalent interactiosn, inhibition can be reveresed by removal of the inhibitor 
what are the three types of reversible inbibitors competivie, uncompetitive, and mixed 
competitive inhibitionbind at the same location as the enzyme substrate in the active site but do not undergo conversion to product bc substrate cannot bind. 
how does chemcial equilibtirum shift when a competitive inhibitor is usedshifts to the left in the rpesence of an inhibtior (increase in Km)
inhibitor disassocaition constanteq constant for the enzyme inhibitor complex, low Ki= high affinity binding to the enzyme, high Ki= low affinity binding to the enzyme 
what is the apparent Kmthe observed Km in the presence of a certain concnetration of injbitor. The inhibitor increases the amount of substrate required for each rxn to reach 0.5Vmax
how is Vmax affected in the presence of a chemical inhibitor since the rate of rxn only depends on the relative inhibitor and substrate []'s, at high [S], Vnot= Vmax, thus in the presence of a competitive injbitor Vmax doesn't change 
why does Vmax stay the same in competitive inhibtion the inhibitor can only bind to the free enzyme active site, so if [S] is very high, S will out compete the inhbiotr for enzyme binding and reaction rate will aproach Vmax 
uncompetitive inhibitionthe inhibitor binds tot he ES complex but not free E... the inhibitor binds at a location that is diff from the active site and prevents turnover to product 
what does uncompetitive inhibition affectboth Km and Kcat for an enzyme 
what is the factor that Vmax and Km apparent are affected by in uncompetitive inhibitionthe reduce by a factor of 1/alpha prime 
why does Vmax and Km behave in that way for uncompetitive inhibitoinbc the inhibitor only binds to ES, increaseing [S] does nothing to prevent inhibitor binding. The result is that Vmax decreases in the presence of an inhibitor. At low [S] the affect of the inhibiotr is minimal, but when [S]> Km, the inhibiotr removes some ES from the equilibirum, shifting it for form more ES. Thus the presence of the inhibiotr causes an apparent decrease in Km
what does the lineweaver burke plot look like for uncompetitive inhibition shows parallel lines with increasing Y intercept and decreasing x intercept as the inhibiotr concentration increases 
what type of rxns do uncompeitvie inhibitors usually inhibitreactions involving two substrates 
what is mixed inhibition the inhibitor can bind to both the enzyme and the enzyme substrate compelx 
noncompetitive inhibitiona special type of mixed inhibition where the inhbitor binds to E and ES with equal affinity 
how are Vmax and Km affected in mixed inhibitionVmax decreases by 1/alpha' like uncompetivie inhibtion, but then Km usually increases because Ki=Ki prime
noncompetitve inhibitors affect on Km Km remains unchanged because Ki=Ki prime
bisubstrate rection binds to two substrates and converts them to two products
how does the inhibitor bind to the enzyme in a bisubstrate rxn inhibitor binds to the same site as H2F (if NADPH is held constant and H2F is varied)
if NADPH is varied and H2F is held constant, how does the inhibiotr behaveas an uncompetitve inhbitor of NADPH, (inhbitor must bind to an alternate site to NADPH), NADPH can also be only bound to ES before the inhibitor can bind 
substrate analogs/ transition state analogs small molecules that are reversible enzme inhibitors, it resemebles the normal enzyme substrate in structure and makes similar interactions w the enzyme 
what do transition state analogs typically structrally resemble and why does this make it a good inhibitor the transition state, bc enzymes with the highest affinity to the transition state 
irreversible inhibitor an inhibitor that covalently modifies an active site residue to inactive the enzyme (can be classifiyed as a substrate analog)
ex of a famous irreverisble inhibiotr and how it fucntionspenicillin, inhibits crosslinking of the bacetrial cell wall by resembling the d-ala stem peptide that is attacked by a nucleophilic ser, so it is considered a substrate analog 
why is acylation of the enzyme favorable in penicillin mechanism it occurs with opening of the 4 membered beta lactam ring, an ester and is resistant to hydrolysis 
ex of a transition state analog that acts by irreversible inhibitionsarin gas becase it covalenelty inhibts acetylcholine esterase, phosphate group resembles the tetrahedral intermediate that forms in normal hydrolyusis of acetylcholine 
mechanism based inhibitorsirreversible inhbitors that are highly specgic, unlike normal irreversible inhibitors . they unmask a reactive group during the course of the normal enzyme reaction mechanism 
beta fluroalanine  and how it works a mechanism based inhibitor of alananine racemase, acts as a normal substrate in the first few steps of the rxn mechanism, and creates a resultiing elctorphilic intermediate which covalently reacts with a nucelophilic residue in the active site
