what is a cofactor
chemical compound that binds to enzyme (inorganic)
-
what is a coenzyme
- "prothetic group":when bound tightly to enzyme
- organic compound
-
what is a holo enzyme
- "whole enzyme"
- apoenzyme + coenzyme
-
what are the factors that affect enzyme activity
- substrate
- enzyme

-
Forward reaction of creatinine kinase
- creatinine + ATP --> C-P + ADP
- ADP + p-phenolpyruvate --> PK--> ATP + Pyr
- Pyr + NADH --> LDH--> lactate NAD+
-
reverse reaction of creatinine kinase
- is faster than forward
- C-P + ADP --> CK --> C+ ATP
- ATP + Glu --> HK--> G6P + ADP
- G6P + NADPH --> G6PDH -->gluconate + NADPH+

-
how is the first order graphically depicted in the michaelis menten curve
-

- diagnostic: myocardial infarction (MI)
-
CK-MM tissue source, diagnostic
- tissue source: muscle
- diagnostic: skeletal muscle disorder, muscular dystrophy

- diagnostic: CNS damage, tumors
-
LD function, sample requirement, tissue source
- f(x): catalyzes conversion of pyruvate and lactate
- tissue source: heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, RBC
- sample requirement: serum preferred, no plasma with oxalate as anticoagulant. NO HEMOLYZED SAMPLES. Must be stored at 25C and analyzed w/in 48 hours
-
LD assay mechanism
- lactatee + NAD+ --> LD--> pyruvate +NADH + H+
- rate of reverse reaction is 3 times faster
-
LD 1 (HHHH)
LD 2 (HHHM)
tissue source and diagnostic
- tissue source: heart, RBC

-
LD4 (HMMM)
LD5 (MMMM)
tissue, diagnostic
- tissue source: liver, skeletal muscle
- diagnostic: hepatic injury, skeletal muscle injury
-
-
abnormal LD pattern
- Suggestive AMI
- hemolytic anemia

-
AST sample collection
