Chapter 6 Flashcards
Negative allosteric effector
2,3-BPG
H+
CO2
Positive allosteric effector
O2
Lower Kd
Higher affinity
Thick filaments
(myosin)
Bind ATP
Connected to Z disks via titin protein
Composed of myosin filaments
Thin filaments
(Actin) Bind calcium Composed of actin monomers Contain tropomyosin Composed of troponin complex
TnC
Binds to Ca 2+ and controls muscle contraction
TnI
Inhibits myosin binding to actin
TnT
Binds to tropomyosin
Ca2+ initially binds to
Troponin
Calciums role in muscle contraction
Ca2+ binds to troponin which induces a conformational chance on the actin filaments that exposes myosin binding sites on actin sub units
muscle contraction shortens the distance between:
Z-disk proteins
Z-disks contain the following proteins:
Vimentin
α-actinin
Desmin
Ѳ =
[PL] / [PL] + [P]
OR
Occupied binding sites / total binding sites
OR
[L] / Kd + [L]
Kd =
[P] [L] / [PL]
To find Kd by looking at a graph
Find fractional saturation 0.5 on Y-axis and locate Kd on X-axis
Oxygen Binding Curves for Myoglobin
and Hemoglobin
Myoglobin = Hyperbolic
Hemoglobin= Sigmoidal
Ligand binding is a ______ process
involving ______ interactions
reversible
noncovalent
P 50 =
Kd
______ is more effective at transporting Oxygen than ______
Hemoglobin
Myoglobin
As pH incresaes
Affinity for binding oxygen increase
Explains why pH is higher in lungs where O2 must bind
Equation for dissolving of CO2
CO2 + H2O HCO3- + H+
With help of enzyme carbonic anhydrase
As [CO2] increases
[H+] also increases, and affininty for binding O2 goes down
in tissue —–> pH is ________ because of ________
—–> ________
Low in blood
Accumulation of CO2
O2 is released by hemoglobin
In lungs ——> pH is ______ because _______ is being _____ ——> ___________
Higher
CO2, Exhaled
O2 is bound to HG
2,3-BPG
Traps HG is the T state
Aids in the binding of HG
2,3-BPG bindig to HG
2,3-BPG has a -5 charge which binds tot he +8 charger in the central canal
In lungs 2,3-BPG is
mostly unbound
In tissue 2,3-BPG is mostly
Bound, stabilizing T- state
