Outline

  1. History
    1. MWC model
    2. emergence of KNF model by Koshland et al.
  2. Rules guiding the KNF model
    1. induced-fit model: change in conformation of enzyme to improve binding affinity to transition state, catalyzing reaction
    2. KNF model is conducive to this, where each ligand binding site changes affinity to the ligand, or the transition state of the ligand in the case of catalysis
  3. Comparison to the MWC model
    1. KNF predicts negative and mixed cooperativity, not possible with the MWC model
    2. T and R state vs. induced fit
  4. Adherence to Biochemical Data
    1. Hemoglobin by the MWC model
    2. hemoglobin by the KNF model
