Energy diagram models

Some energy diagram models of simple enzymic reactions are shown in Figure 8.1. A schematic model for an advantageous binding of the substrate on the enzyme active center is illustrated in Figure 8.2. 

The electron-spm echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) phenomenon [37, 38] is of primary interest in pulsed EPR of solids, where anisotropic hyperfme and nuclear quadnipole interactions persist. The effect can be observed as modulations of the echo intensity in two-pulse and three-pulse experiments in which x or J is varied. In liquids the modulations are averaged to zero by rapid molecular tumbling. The physical origin of ESEEM can be understood in tenns of the four-level spin energy diagram for the S = I = model system...

This section began with a class discussion about the importance of water softening and the different factors that influence water hardness. As an example of everyday situation, the efficiency of dishwasher Finish salt was presented. A set of short chemical experiments entitled Testing the dishwasher Finish salt was carried out as a wet laboratory task in groups of students (macro). Later on teachers explained one of those chemical experiments by the use of an animation and also by its 2D presentation with models then students in groups tried to write 2D representations for other chemical experiments (submicro). Students also tried to write down word and symbolic equations and to select the appropriate energy diagrams (symbolic). The results of students work were discussed and corrected when necessary.

The detailed potential energy diagram for the first elementary reaction, (E-SeH) + H2O2 - (E-SeOH) + H2O, calculated using both the active-site (dashed line) and ONIOM model (grey line) is shown to the right (Adapted from Prabhakar et al.

Figure A.9 A potential energy diagram of an atom chemisorbed on the model metal jellium shows the broadening of the adsorbate orbitals in the resonant level model.

Figure 5. Free energy diagrams showing the salient differences between the Monod and Koshland models. The MWC model is a two-state model with equivalent ligand binding interactions (indicated here by the equal spacing between Rq and Rb states and between RLi and RL2 states). In the KNF model, the amount of energy released determines whether binding will be independent or show negative or positive cooperativity.
