Applications
A buffer of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate
(HCO3−) is present in blood plasma, to maintain a pH
between 7.35 and 7.45.
Industrially, buffer solutions are used in fermentation
processes and in setting the correct conditions for dyes
used in colouring fabrics. They are also used in chemical
analysis and calibration of pH meters.
Majority of biological samples that are used in research
are made in buffers specially PBS (phosphate buffer
saline) at pH 7.4.
Summary
Biological systems are composed of carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, and notrogen.(Note: some
cellular molecules contain metals and sulfur is
frequently present in disulfide bonds.)
These molecules are used to build lipids, proteins,
carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, the building
blocks for cell structure and chemical reagents for
cell function.
Proteins conduct the business of the cell by
regulating cell function.

Significance of MM Equation
Km has a unit of concentration. It is a constant for every
enzyme under specific conditions
When [S] <<< Km, Vo is directly proportional to [S]
When [S] >>> Km, Vo = Vmax
When [S] = Km, Vo = ½ Vmax
The Km value of an enzyme indicates the concentration of the
substrate required for significant catalysis
Since Km = (k2+k-1)/k1, when k-1 >>> k2, Km = k-1/k1
Dissociation constant of ES, KES = [E][S] / [ES] = k-1/k1
When k-1 >>> k2, Km = KES. High Km = high dissociation = weak
binding between E and S
When [E]T = [ES], Vmax = k2[E]T.
k2 is called the turnover number: the rate when enzyme is
saturated with substrate

Enzyme-Substrate Interactions
The favored model of enzyme substrate interaction is known as the induced fit model.
This model proposes that the initial interaction between enzyme and substrate is
relatively weak, but that these weak interactions rapidly induce conformational changes
in the enzyme that strengthen binding and bring catalytic sites close to substrate bonds to
be altered. After binding takes place, one or more mechanisms of catalysis generates
transition- state complexes and reaction products. The possible mechanisms of catalysis
are four in number:

A ------> B
-[A] = k[B]
[B] = k[A]
In the second equation (of the 3 above) the negative sign signifies a decrease in
concentration of A as the reaction progresses, brackets define concentration in molarity
and the k is known as a rate constant. Rate constants are simply proportionality constants
that provide a quantitative connection between chemical concentrations and reaction
rates. Each chemical reaction has characteristic values for its rate constants; these in turn
directly relate to the equilibrium constant for that reaction. Thus, reaction can be
rewritten as an equilibrium expression in order to show the relationship between reaction
rates, rate constants and the equilibrium constant for this simple case. The rate constant
for the forward reaction is defined as k+1 and the reverse as k-1.
2
CPB 30103: Biochemical Engineering
By Law Jeng Yih
At equilibrium the rate (V) of the forward reaction (A ----> B) is, by definition,
equal to that of the reverse or back reaction (B ----> A), a relationship which is
algebraically symbolized as:
Vforward = Vreverse
where, for the forward reaction:
Vforward = k+1[A]
and for the reverse reaction:
Vreverse = k-1[B]
In the above equations, k+1 and k-1 represent rate constants for the forward and
reverse reactions, respectively. The negative subscript refers only to a reverse reaction,
not to an actual negative value for the constant. To put the relationships of the two
equations into words, we state that the rate of the forward reaction [Vforward] is equal to
the product of the forward rate constant k+1 and the molar concentration of A. The rate of
the reverse reaction is equal to the product of the reverse rate constant k-1 and the molar
concentration of B.
At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse
reaction leading to the equilibrium constant of the reaction and is expressed by:
This equation demonstrates that the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction
is not only equal to the equilibrium ratio of product and reactant concentrations, but is
also equal to the ratio of the characteristic rate constants of the reaction.
