15.1 SpecificityThe Result of Molecular Recognition
• Substrate (small) binds to enzyme (large) via weak forces - what are they? – H-bonds, van der Waals, ionic – sometimes hydrophobic interactions
• Understand the lock-and-key and induced-fit models
• Relate induced-fit to transition states

15.2 Controls over Enzyme ActivitySix points:
• Rate slows as product accumulates • Rate depends on substrate availability • Genetic controls - induction and repression • Enzymes can be modified covalently • Allosteric effectors may be important • Zymogens, isozymes and modulator
proteins may play a role

15.3 Allosteric RegulationAction at "another site"
• Enzymes situated at key steps in metabolic pathways are modulated by allosteric effectors
• These effectors are usually produced elsewhere in the pathway
• Effectors may be feed-forward activators or feedback inhibitors
• Kinetics are sigmoid ("S-shaped")

Models for Allosteric Behavior
• Monod, Wyman, Changeux (MWC) Model: allosteric proteins can exist in two states: R (relaxed) and T (taut)
• In this model, all the subunits of an oligomer must be in the same state
• T state predominates in the absence of substrate S
• S binds much tighter to R than to T

More about MWC
• Cooperativity is achieved because S binding increases the population of R, which increases the sites available to S
• Ligands such as S are positive homotropic effectors
• Molecules that influence the binding of something other than themselves are heterotropic effectors

Glycogen PhosphorylaseAllosteric Regulation and Covalent
Modification• GP cleaves glucose units from
nonreducing ends of glycogen• A phosphorolysis reaction• Muscle GP is a dimer of identical
subunits, each with PLP covalently linked• There is an allosteric effector site at the
subunit interface

Glycogen PhosphorylaseAllosteric Regulation and Covalent
Modification• Pi is a positive homotropic effector• ATP is a feedback inhibitor, and a
negative heterotropic effector• Glucose-6-P is a negative heterotropic
effector (i.e., an inhibitor)• AMP is a positive heterotrophic effector
(i.e., an activator)

Regulation of GP by Covalent Modification
• In 1956, Edwin Krebs and Edmond Fischer showed that a ‘converting enzyme’ could convert phosphorylase b to phosphorylase a
• Three years later, Krebs and Fischer show that this conversion involves covalent phosphorylation
• This phosphorylation is mediated by an enzyme cascade (Figure 15.19)

cAMP is a Second Messenger
• Cyclic AMP is the intracellular agent of extracellular hormones - thus a ‘second messenger’
• Hormone binding stimulates a GTP-binding protein (G protein), releasing G(GTP)
• Binding of G(GTP) stimulates adenylyl cyclase to make cAMP

HemoglobinA classic example of allostery
• Hemoglobin and myoglobin are oxygen transport and storage proteins
• Compare the oxygen binding curves for hemoglobin and myoglobin
• Myoglobin is monomeric; hemoglobin is tetrameric
• Mb: 153 aa, 17,200 MW • Hb: two alphas of 141 residues, 2 betas of 146

Hemoglobin Function Hb must bind oxygen in lungs and
release it in capillaries • When a first oxygen binds to Fe in
heme of Hb, the heme Fe is drawn into the plane of the porphyrin ring
• This initiates a series of conformational changes that are transmitted to adjacent subunits

Hemoglobin Function Hb must bind oxygen in lungs and
release it in capillaries • Adjacent subunits' affinity for oxygen
increases • This is called positive cooperativity

Myoglobin StructureMb is a monomeric heme protein
• Mb polypeptide "cradles" the heme group • Fe in Mb is Fe2+ - ferrous iron - the form
that binds oxygen • Oxidation of Fe yields 3+ charge - ferric
iron -metmyoglobin does not bind oxygen • Oxygen binds as the sixth ligand to Fe • See Figure 15.26 and discussion of CO
binding

The Conformation Change
The secret of Mb and Hb! • Oxygen binding changes the Mb conformation • Without oxygen bound, Fe is out of heme plane • Oxygen binding pulls the Fe into the heme plane • Fe pulls its His F8 ligand along with it • The F helix moves when oxygen binds • Total movement of Fe is 0.029 nm - 0.29 A • This change means little to Mb, but lots to Hb!

Binding of Oxygen by HbThe Physiological Significance
• Hb must be able to bind oxygen in the lungs • Hb must be able to release oxygen in
capillaries • If Hb behaved like Mb, very little oxygen
would be released in capillaries - see Figure 15.22!
• The sigmoid, cooperative oxygen binding curve of Hb makes this possible!

Oxygen Binding by HbA Quaternary Structure Change
• When deoxy-Hb crystals are exposed to oxygen, they shatter! Evidence of a structural change!
• One alpha-beta pair moves relative to the other by 15 degrees upon oxygen binding
• This massive change is induced by movement of Fe by 0.039 nm when oxygen binds
• See Figure 15.32

The Bohr Effect
Competition between oxygen and H+ • Discovered by Christian Bohr • Binding of protons diminishes oxygen binding • Binding of oxygen diminishes proton binding • Important physiological significance • See Figure 15.34

Bohr Effect II
Carbon dioxide diminishes oxygen binding
• Hydration of CO2 in tissues and extremities leads to proton production
• These protons are taken up by Hb as oxygen dissociates
• The reverse occurs in the lungs

2,3-BisphosphoglycerateAn Allosteric Effector of Hemoglobin
• In the absence of 2,3-BPG, oxygen binding to Hb follows a rectangular hyperbola!
• The sigmoid binding curve is only observed in the presence of 2,3-BPG
• Since 2,3-BPG binds at a site distant from the Fe where oxygen binds, it is called an allosteric effector

2,3-BPG and HbThe "inside" story......
• Where does 2,3-BPG bind? – "Inside" – in the central cavity
• What is special about 2,3-BPG? – Negative charges interact with 2 Lys, 4 His, 2
N-termini • Fetal Hb - lower affinity for 2,3-BPG, higher
affinity for oxygen, so it can get oxygen from mother
