1
New cards

Alkaline Phosphatase

An enzyme that removes a phosphate group and works best in alkaline environments.

2
New cards

Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

A model describing the rate of enzyme catalyzed reactions and their dependence on substrate concentration.

3
New cards

Vmax

The maximum reaction velocity achieved by an enzyme at saturating substrate concentration.

4
New cards

Km

The substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of Vmax, indicating the affinity between enzyme and substrate.

5
New cards

Lineweaver-Burke Plot

A double reciprocal plot used to determine the kinetics of enzyme reactions, based on the Michaelis-Menten equation.

6
New cards

Enzyme Inhibitors

Substances that decrease enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme, affecting substrate binding and reaction rates.

7
New cards

Effect of Substrate Concentration

How varying the amount of substrate affects the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

8
New cards

Enzyme Activators

Substances that increase enzyme activity by enhancing the interaction between enzyme and substrate.

9
New cards

High Km

Indicates low affinity between enzyme and substrate.

10
New cards

Low Km

Indicates high affinity between enzyme and substrate.
