📖 1. Enzyme Kinetics

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions: Biological molecules that accelerate reaction rates, enabling vital biochemical processes to occur within living organisms, often increasing reaction speed by factors up to 10^12–10^17 (Goldberg, 2025-26).

  • Enzyme specificity: The selective nature of enzymes for particular substrates, meaning each enzyme typically catalyzes only one specific reaction or acts on a specific substrate, which is crucial for metabolic regulation (Goldberg, 2025-26).

  • Isozymes: Variants of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but differ in amino acid sequence, kinetics, and regulation, often expressed in different tissues or cellular compartments (Goldberg, 2025-26).

  • Hypothèse de l’équilibre rapide (Rapid equilibrium hypothesis): Assumes that the formation and dissociation of the enzyme-substrate complex reach equilibrium quickly relative to product formation, allowing for simplified kinetic equations (Goldberg, 2025-26).
