- Explain the differences between reaction rates, initial velocity and rate constant (10%)
In Michaelis–Menten kinetics, reaction rate refers to the change in concentration per unit time. The standard unit time used is one second. On the other hand, rate constant refers to the rate of reaction when the molar concentration of each reaction is unity. The initial velocity is the reaction rate in the first second of reaction. The concentration keeps changing as reaction continues.
- Explain the concept “activation energy” (Eact, -G≠ ) and the meaning of the Eyring-Polanyi equation (10%)
Eyring-Polanyi equation is mainly used in chemical reactions to show the variance between the rate of reaction and the change in temperature. The equation combines two main theories in chemical reaction- Kinetic theory of gases and statistical thermal dynamics. Two constants are used in this equation; Boltzmann's constant, and Planck's constant. The equation derives a straight-line slope, which helps to come up with entropy of activation.
- Explain the interplay between enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) changes taking place during ligand binding to an enzyme (10%)
Both enthalpy activation and entropy activation are derived from the same slope in Eyring-Polanyi equation. The relationship between these two activations is referred to as the Enthalpy-entropy compensation. The relationship, which is linear free energy relationship, has entropy being derived from enthalpy activation. Ligand binding to an enzyme is one of the chemical reactions used in case study of enthalpy, entropy relationship.
