Figure 13 shows a common way to illustrate the effect of an enzyme on a given biochemical reaction. [11] Figure 12: An energy profile, showing the products (Y), reactants (X), activation energy (E a) for the endothermic and exothermic reaction, and the enthalpy (ΔH). The profile for same reaction but with a catalyst is also shown.
The origin is often labeled O, and the two coordinates are often denoted by the letters X and Y, or x and y. The axes may then be referred to as the X-axis and Y-axis. The choices of letters come from the original convention, which is to use the latter part of the alphabet to indicate unknown values.
The plot is occasionally attributed to Augustinsson [5] and referred to the Woolf–Augustinsson–Hofstee plot [6] [7] [8] or simply the Augustinsson plot. [9] However, although Haldane, Woolf or Eadie were not explicitly cited when Augustinsson introduced the versus / equation, both the work of Haldane [10] and of Eadie [3] are cited at other places of his work and are listed in his ...
Carboxypeptidase A and the target enzyme of Captopril, angiotensin-converting enzyme, have very similar structures, as they both contain a zinc ion within the active site. This allowed for a potent carboxypeptidase A inhibitor to be used to inhibit the enzyme and, thus, lower blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. [1]
The enzyme is localized to the matrix-facing side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Ferrochelatase is the best known member of a family of enzymes that add divalent metal cations to tetrapyrrole structures. [2] For example, magnesium chelatase adds magnesium to protoporphyrin IX in the first step of bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis. [3]
In the pulsed state, both the heme a 3 and the Cu B nuclear centers are oxidized; this is the conformation of the enzyme that has the highest activity. A two-electron reduction initiates a conformational change that allows oxygen to bind at the active site to the partially-reduced enzyme. Four electrons bind to COX to fully reduce the enzyme.

The Lineweaver–Burk plot derives from a transformation of the Michaelis–Menten equation, = + in which the rate is a function of the substrate concentration and two parameters , the limiting rate, and , the Michaelis constant.
