Introduction to Enzyme Kinetics01:19

Introduction to Enzyme Kinetics

28.0K
Enzyme kinetics studies the rates of biochemical reactions. Scientists monitor the reaction rates for a particular enzymatic reaction at various substrate concentrations. Additional trials with inhibitors or other molecules that affect the reaction rate may also be performed.
The experimenter can then plot the initial reaction rate or velocity (Vo) of a given trial against the substrate concentration ([S]) to obtain a graph of the reaction properties. For many enzymatic reactions involving a...

The Equilibrium Binding Constant and Binding Strength

14.4K
The equilibrium binding constant (Kb) quantifies the strength of a protein-ligand interaction. Kb can be calculated as follows when the reaction is at equilibrium:

Enzyme Kinetics

101.5K
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reactants. The speed at which the enzyme turns reactants into products is called the rate of reaction. Several factors impact the rate of reaction, including the number of available reactants. Enzyme kinetics is the study of how an enzyme changes the rate of a reaction.
Scientists typically study enzyme kinetics with a fixed amount of enzyme in the controlled environment of a test tube. When more reactant, or substrate, is...

Non-equilibrium in the Cell01:16

Non-equilibrium in the Cell

5.0K
An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Biophysics
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Conventional kinetic constant measurements require equilibrium conditions and large sample volumes, posing challenges for low association rate constant (k_on) studies.
  • Out-of-equilibrium measurements can be prone to bias from sample dilution due to buffer flow.
  • Limited sample availability is a critical constraint in certain biochemical and medical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for measuring kinetic constants with significantly reduced sample volumes.
  • To overcome the limitations of conventional equilibrium-based and out-of-equilibrium measurement techniques.
  • To present a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based approach that utilizes out-of-equilibrium conditions advantageously.

Main Methods:

  • Combines experimental, numerical, and modeling approaches.
  • Utilizes surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrumentation.
  • Employs an out-of-equilibrium measurement strategy that capitalizes on buffer flow-induced dilution.

Main Results:

  • A new SPR-based method for kinetic constant determination with low sample volumes was successfully developed.
  • The method effectively uses the dilution effect from buffer flow to its advantage in out-of-equilibrium measurements.
  • Demonstrated a viable alternative to conventional methods, particularly for samples with low association rates.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed out-of-equilibrium SPR method offers a significant advancement for kinetic analysis in biochemistry and medical research.
  • This technique addresses the critical need for low-volume measurements, expanding the applicability of kinetic studies.
  • The combined experimental, numerical, and modeling approach validates the robustness and potential impact of the new method.
