  22. Briefly describe the two main reasons why SDS is used in SDS-PAGE.
    • Denatures protein.
    • Provides negative charge that obliterates the native protein charge. Protein moves under influence of electric field with a constant charge to mass/ratio.
  23. Define the following terms: activation energy, coenzyme, and active site.
    • Activation energy-- This energy state must be reached for a chemical reaction to occur (i.e. colliding molecules possess a minimal amount of energy). Or the free energy of activation (delta G double dagger)--energy barrier at the transition state.
    • Coenzyme- small organic molecule associated with the enzyme and necessary for this enzyme to function.

    • (a) The shape and charge of the active site forces the substrate to adopt a conformation more like the transition state. As a result, the enzyme substrate complex converts to product and free enzyme without the high energy requirement needed to achieve the transition state in the absence of the enzyme.
    • (b) enzyme functioning at its diffusion controlled limit or as fast a substrate can diffuse and interact with the enzyme (getting the most bang for the buck!)
