Chemistry Test 2 Flashcards
Acid/Base reaction
Transfer of protons from one species to another
Substitution reaction
Switching one group for another.
(Transferase)
Elimination reaction
Removing a group completely from the molecule.
(Lyase)
Addition reaction
Adding a group to the molecule.
(Ligases)
REDOX reaction
Changing the oxidation state of a group on a molecule.
(Oxidoreducatse)
Isomerization
Rearrangement of groups within the same molecule
(Isomerase)
Nucleophile
Election rich species (Anions, heteroatoms with one loan pair electrons, alkenes, alkynes)
Electrophile
Electors poor species (Carbocations, carbonyl groups, Alkenes, alkynes)
Catalyst
If used, these help to increase the rate at which the reaction occurs (All bio chemicals reactions utilize enzymes and cofactors as catalysts)
Reactions favor order or disorder?
Disorder
Nucleophilic substitution
Addition of an electron rich species (nucleophile) to an electron poor species (electrophile).
Aromatic substitution
Substitution of a hydrogen on an aromatic ring with another group (not oxygen or nitrogen)
Acyl substitution
Addition of an electron rich species (nucleophile) to a carbonyl containing group (esters, amides, and carboxylic acids), sulfonate group, or phosphate group
Going from a positive charge to neutral makes you an Electrophile or Nucleophile?
Electrophile
Going from a negative charge to neutral makes you an Electrophile or Nucleophile?
Nucleophile
Oxidation reaction
Increases in the number of bonds to O or N
Decreased in the number of bonds to H
Reduction reaction
Decrease in the number of bonds to O or N
Increase in the number of bonds to H
Delta G (Gibs free energy)
A measure if a chemical process will or will not work.
Change of an enzyme confirmation =?
More disorder, which makes the process much more favorable.
Spontaneous reactions are ?
Favored
Non spontaneous reaction are?
Not favored
Equilibrium will always favor?
The weaker acid
PKa scale: -20 to 25 is ?
Acidic
PKa: 30 to 60 are?
Not acidic
H2O pKa is?
15.6
What is the formula to calculate the pH of a strong acid?
pH= -log [(quantity of mol)]
What are the equations to calculate the pH of a strong base?
pOH= -log [( quantity of mol )]
Then
pH+pOH=14
When dealing with diprotic acids what do you have to take into account when calculating pH?
That the equation is balanced! You will remove a hydrogen twice so you will produce twice the amount of base!
H2SO4 + 2H2O -> 2H3O+ + SO42-
You also have to divide the moles by the coefficient of the acid.
So 2 moles of diprotic acids would really be one mole.
Triprotic acids you would divide moles by 3!
When calculating the pH of weak acids/bases what table should you use?
The I.C.E. Table
Kb means you have to solve for?
pOH
If you have Ka you have to solve for?
pH
Does 1g = 1 mL?
Yes
Transferase
Transfer functional groups from one substrate to another:
Hydrolase
Break bonds using water (hydrolysis)
Oxidoreductases
-Catalyze REDOX reactions.
-Catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one substrate (reductant) to another substrate (oxidant)
Lyase
Catalyze elimination reactions (Breaks chemical bonds (not hydrolysis or REDOX)
)
Ligases
Joining of two molecules together (Forms chemical bonds between two substrates)
Isomerases
Catalyze structural shifts (intramolecular group transfer)
Saponification
-Conversion of a triglyceride (fats and oils) into fatty acids (lipids)
-Ester to a carboxylic acid
What are the three drug properties?
Affinity – how well the drug binds to the receptor
Efficacy – how well the drug produces its desired effect
Potency – term used to compare the relative affinity of competing drugs
What are the two classes of antagonists?
- Competitive – bind reversibly
- Non-competitive – either binds irreversibly or binds to create allosteric effects that diminish and agonist’s ability to bind to a different receptor.
Factors affecting bioavailability include:
Molecular weight of the drug
Drug formulation
Drug stability (especially pH sensitivity)
First pass metabolism: typically in the liver
Blood flow
Gastric emptying: food slows this process
Intestinal motility
Drug interactions
