002 Enzymes and Isozymes Flashcards
mass action (Le Chatelier’s principle)
increase the concentration of the reactants
decrease the concentration of the products
coupling reactions is possible if they share a
common intermediate
thermodynamics (delta G) is whether the reaction will proceed without
the input of energy (not indicative of velocity)
reaction velocity (v) is increased by
a catalyst (an enzyme)
what you can release in urine to change the pH and start metabolic acidosis
bicarbonate (will lower pH)
diabetic acidosis
when you breakdown ketone bodies, they release a proton that will put the body into a acidotic condition, they cannot absorb glucose from the blood
two types of biochemical rxns
oxidation reduction rxns
acid/base rxns
all types of biochemical reactions are this type of rxn
transfer rxn
normal blood pH
7.37-7.43
bicarbonate dissociation equation
H+ and HCO3- H2CO3 (carbonic anhydrase) CO2 + H20)
Respiratory acidosis (blood pH < 7.37)
hypoventilation leads to increased CO2 in blood so reaction is shifted to left and more protons produced which lowers pH
metabolic acidosis (blood pH < 7.37) caused by either
addition of strong acid (lactate, ketone bodies)
loss of HC03- (diarrhea or weak kidneys)
respiratory alkalosis (blood pH > 7.43)
hyperventilation leads to a decrease of CO2 in blood so reaction shifts to the right which lowers proton concentration and raises pH
metabolic acidosis (blood pH > 7.43) caused by either
addition of a strong base (ingestion of acid)
loss of acid (vomiting)
the conjugate acid of the bicarbonate base (HCO3-) is
carbonic acid (H2CO3)
the conjugate acid of the ammonia base (NH3)
ammonium ion (NH4+)
