Gibbs Free Energy to understand enzymatic

reactions


Gibbs Free Energy: a fundamental thermodynamic function to describe

chemical reactions

A B + C spontaneous if G<0 (exergonic) at equilibrium if G=0 (no net change) not spontaneous if G>0 (endergonic)

G DOES NOT depend on the mechanismG DOES NOT tell about the reaction rateEnzymes DO NOT affect G


Linking Free-Energy change with reactants & products concentrations

A + B C + D

G= G° + RT ln [C][D] / [A][B]

G° is G in standard conditions: [C]=[D]=[A]=[B]= 1M


Equilibrium constant: K’eq= [C][D] / [A][B]

At Eq. G=0 => 0=G°’ + RT ln K’eq

=> G°’= - RT ln K’eq

=> G°’= -2.303 RT Log K’eq

=> K’eq = 10 - G°’ / 2.303 RT

=> K’eq = 10 - G°’ / 1.36

G°’ is G° for biochemical reactions: pH=7.0, T= 298K

Linking Free-Energy change with Equilibrium Constant


Example: conversion of DHAP into GAP

K’eq = 0.0475 (pH 7.0, 25°C)

=> G°’= 1.80 kcal mol-1

G for [DHAP]=2 10-4 M ; [GAP]=3 10-6 MG= G° + RT ln [GAP]/[DHAP]G= 1.80 – 2.49 G= -0.69 kcal mol-1

Reactions not spontaneous on the G°’ criterion can be made spontaneous by adjusting concentrations


Enzymes accelerate reactions by lowering the

transition state energy


A fundamental property of enzymes

Enzymes DO NOT alter equilibria but enhance the rates at which they are reached

Many enzymes show kinetic properties explained by the

Michaelis-Menten model


Velocity vs Substrate Concentration:The Michaelis-Menten model (1913)

Vmax: maximal velocity when all sites occupied

Km: Michaelis constant, when [S] gives Vmax/2

E + S ES E + Pk1 k2

k-1 k-2


Enzyme-catalyzed reaction progression curves


Basic assumptions in the Michaelis-Menten model

Formation of ES complex is necessary intermediate in catalysis

Reversion of Product to Substrate is negligible in initial stage of reaction ([P] << [S]): v = k-2[E][P] (Rate Law)

QUESTION: Mathematical expression linking catalytic velocity to substrate concentration ?

E + S ES E + Pk1 k2

k-1 k-2


The rate law

Consider the simple reaction : A P (conversion of P back to A negligible)

Velocity or Rate of reaction or

Proportionality between Velocity and reactant concentration

k


Another basic assumption: the Steady State (Briggs & Haldane, 1925)

E + S ES E + Pk1 k2

k-1

Rapidly, ES complex reaches a constant concentration


Linking substrate and enzymes concentrations to rate constants

ES formation rate is: vf = k1([Etot] - [ES])[S] with [E] = [Etot] - [ES]

ES disappearance rate is: vd = k-1[ES] + k2[ES] = (k-1 + k2)[ES]

At steady state: d[ES]/dt = 0 => vf = vd

So: k1([Etot] - [ES])[S] = (k-1 + k2)[ES]

Rearranging: ([Etot] - [ES])[S] / [ES] = (k-1 + k2) / k1


The Michaelis-Menten constant Km

From: ([Etot] - [ES])[S] / [ES] = (k-1 + k2) / k1

The M-M constant is defined as Km = (k-1 + k2) / k1

So: ([Etot] - [ES])[S] / [ES] = Km

Which rearranges into: [ES] = ([Etot] - [S]) / (Km + [S])


Linking the rate of product formation to Km : Michaelis-Menten equation

Rate of product formation: V=dP/dt =k2[ES]

In [ES] = ([Etot] - [S]) / (Km + [S]) gives:

V= k2[Etot][S] / (Km + [S])

The term k2[Etot] is equal to Vmax, when [ES]=[Etot]

So: V= Vmax[S] / (Km + [S])

Note: When [S]= Km then V=Vmax/2


Back to the Velocity vs Substrate Concentration plot

V= Vmax[S] / (Km + [S])

When [S]<< Km , V~Vmax

[S]/Km

When [S]>> Km, V~Vmax

When [S]=Km: V=Vmax/2

E + S ES E + Pk1 k2

k-1


A double reciprocal plot: the Lineweaver-Burk plot


Km values vary widely


Km and Vmax provide valuable information about biochemical processes

When k-1>>k2, Km=k-1/k2

and KES=[E][S]/[ES]=k-1/k2 thus Km= KES

indicates binding strength (substrate affinity)

If [Etot] is known, Vmax indicates TURN-OVER Number

Vmax=k2[Etot] or k2=Vmax/[Etot]

k2 is also called kcat or TURN-OVER Number


The kcat/Km criterion

In physiological conditions: 0.01 Km<[S]< Km

Combining V0=k2[ES] with [ES]=[E][S]/Km gives

V0=(kcat/Km) [S][E]

When [S]<< Km then [E]=[Etot]

kcat/Km is the rate constant for E and S interaction


Application of kcat/Km criterion to probe chymotrypsin ”specificity”


The kinetic perfection

Attained when kcat/Km reaches k1, rate of formation of ES

Cannot be faster than diffusion-controlled encounter between Enzyme and Product (108 to 109 s-1 M-1)
