Biology 403, spring 2004, note-sheet for second midterm
Thursday 11 March 2004

Equations:

  1. Lineweaver-Burk:
    1/v0 = (Km / Vmax) (1 / [S]) + 1 / Vmax
  2. Optical activity for mixture of compounds 1, 2, ... n :
    Rtot = Σi fi Ri
  3. Relationship between equilibrium constant and standard free energy:
    ΔGo'reaction = -RTlnKeq
  4. Dependence of reaction rate on temperature and activation energy:
    k = Q0 exp(-ΔG / RT)
  5. Free energy as function of reactant concentrations:
    ΔG = ΔGo' + RT ln Q,
    where Q = [C][D] / [A][B] for the bimolecular reaction A + B -> C + D

Additional facts:

A. Types of reversible inhibition:
Type I binds to Effect on Km Effect on Vmax Effect on Vmax / Km
Competitive E Increases Unchanged Decreases
Uncompetitive ES Decreases Decreases Unchanged
Noncompetitive E or ES Unchanged Decreases Decreases
