A

If Change G prime not is known, the actualy free energy change for a reaction can be calculated….

Change in G is used as a predictor of the spontaneity of the reaction

exergonic reaction - exothermic

endergonic reaction - endothermic

Also… Change in G = G(products) - G(reactants)

In an endergonic reaction, some energy stays in that molecule and the net energy change is negative (the ending Energy on the graph of a reaction is higher than the initial state).

  1. What is the role of myoglobin? Of hemoglobin? What are their locations in the body?

>>>More info about T & R forms…

A
  1. What is the role of myoglobin? Of hemoglobin? What are their locations in the body?

Myoglobin is an intracellular oxygen storage protein., while hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to tissue. Together, these hemo-proteins diffuse oxygen into the cellular environment.

Hemoglobin: Must be able to bind oxygen at relatively high PO2 in the lungs and release oxygen at the relatively low PO2 in the tissues. Oxygen binding curve for hemoglobin is sigmoidal because oxygen binding is cooperative.

Hemoglobin alternates between high oxygen affinity (R) form and a low oxygen affinity (T) form as the RBCs move through circulation.

Mygolobin: binds oxygen well as low oxygen tension. The oxygen binding curve for myoglobin is a rectangular hyperbola.

>>>>

The hemoglobin oxygen binding dissociation curve is sigmoidal since it it must be able to bind oxygen at relatively high Po2 (inhalation) in the lungs and release oxygen at relatively low Po2 in the tissues (exhalation?).

Meanwhile, the myoglobin oxygen binding dissociation curve is rectangular since it binds oxygen as a low Po2 (low oxygen tension). This makes sense since myoglobin is found in muscle cells where it stores oxygen for use in mitochondria.

45
Q
  1. Describe the global structure of myoglobin. How does hemoglobin differ in structure from myoglobin?
A
  1. Describe the global structure of myoglobin. How does hemoglobin differ in structure from myoglobin?

Myoglobin is compactly folded, single polypeptide chain of 153 Amino acids residues. 75% of the structure consists of 8 helical segments. The polar residues tend to be located on the outside of the molecules, while non-polar residues are on the inside of the molecule. Heme functions as the prothetic group that enables the binding of oxygen to myoglobin and hemoglobin. Heme fits in the hydrophobic pocket of the protein.

Meanwhile, hemoglobin is a tetramer of four non covalently linked subunits that are similar to myoglobin. It has a quarternary (not tertiary structure like myoglobin) structure. Each subunit has a hydrophobic pocket that contains heme. Several different forms of hemoglobin exist because of variation in the primary structure of subunits.

46
Q
  1. What is heme? What is the oxidation state of the heme iron in hemoglobin? Why is the oxidation state important? Define methemyoglobin and carbaminohemoglobin.
A
  1. What is heme? What is the oxidation state of the heme iron in hemoglobin? Why is the oxidation state important? Define methemyoglobin and carbaminohemoglobin.

Heme is a prothetic group that enables the binding of oxygen to myoglobin and hemoglobin. Heme is made of ferrous iron and a porphyrin group, composed of four linked pyrrole units. Iron is bound to the center of porphyrin by four nitrogens. Heme iron in hemoglobin is Fe2+ (ferrous iron) since oxygen only binds to Fe2+.

Methemoglobin- is the oxidized form of hemoglobin that does not carry oxygen (since Fe is in the Fe3+ form).

Carbaminohemoglobin - is a compound of haemoglobin and carbon dioxide, and is one of the forms in which carbon dioxide exists in the blood. 10% of carbon dioxide is carried in bloodthis way (85% carried in blood as bicarbonate [hydrogen carbonate], 5% carried as free CO2, in solution).

47
Q
  1. Where does oxygen bind in hemoglobin and myoglobin? How many oxygen molecules can associate with each heme unit in hemoglobin?
A
  1. Where does oxygen bind in hemoglobin and myoglobin? How many oxygen molecules can associate with each heme unit in hemoglobin?

Oxygen binds to the heme in both hemoglobin and myoglobin. Each heme unit in hemoglobin carries one oxygen molecule, and it occupies the sixth bond. So, hemoglobin inserts a heme into one of its four units, meaning hemoglobin carries 4 oxygen molecules.

48
Q
  1. How does fetal hemoglobin differ from adult hemoglobin? Describe the developmental production pattern for human hemoglobins.
A
  1. How does fetal hemoglobin differ from adult hemoglobin? Describe the developmental production pattern for human hemoglobins.

Fetal hemoglobin is the first hemoglobin formed during embryogenesis. (5?) are replaced by alpha subunits in the first six months. Also, during these first six months of development, the epsilon subunits are replaced by the gamma subunits. The gamma subunits are replaced by beta subunits in later embryonic development and just after birth!

49
Q
  1. What is the Bohr Effect? What is meant by the “R” and “T” forms of Hb? Relate these forms to the oxygen dissociation curves.
A
  1. What is the Bohr Effect? What is meant by the “R” and “T” forms of Hb? Relate these forms to the oxygen dissociation curves.

The Bohr effect is a physiological phenomenon first described in 1904 by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr, stating that hemoglobin’s oxygen binding affinity is inversely related both to acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide.

Picture: R form at top - High oxygen affinity (in lungs)

T form - bottom - Low oxygen affinity (in muscles)

A
  1. What are the key features and parameters of the Michaelis-Menten kinetic theory of enzyme action (as shown in the curve)?

If Km = [S], then v = 1/2Vmax

Km is a measure of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate: smaller the value of Km, greater the affinity of the enzyme for substrate.
