Q

Activation Energy

Ea

A

Amount of energy required to bring all molecules in a mole of reactant at a given temperature to a reactive state.

Increasing T decreases Ea by increasing kinetic energy of all molecules.

Adding enzyme reduces Ea and increasses reaction rates by 103 to 107 times.

Affects and Consequences

A

Increasing Temperature

  • weakens Hydrogen, Van der Waals, and Ionic bonds
  • strengthens Hydrophobic bonds

Consequence: denaturing of 3D structures (DNA, proteins, membranes)

Can lead to clumping/strengthening of hydrophobic elements.

Q

pH importance

A

Low pH means [H+] is high, amino and carboxyl protonated (valence electron is positive).

High pH means [H+] is low, amino and carboxyl groups ionized(valence electron is negative).

Q

Buffers

1) What are they?
2) Adding Acid
3) Limits
4) Ideal conditions?

A

1) Usually weak acids
2) Liberated protons can bind with buffer and effect is reduced
3) Will only work over limited pH range
4) When pH=pK because half of buffer works against each direction of pH

Q

Events of Enzyme Lowering Ea

3 Steps

A

1) Non-covalent bonding leads to formation of Enzyme-Substrate Complex
2) Non-covalent bonding leads to formation of Enzyme-Product Complex
3) Dissociation yields free Enzyme & Product

22
Q

How Do Enzymes Work?

A

Substrate binds to active site and induces a change in the substrate of the structure:

Shifit in electron distributions, change in shape, pairs of destabilized reactants can be brought into proper conformity and proximity.

These changes reduce Ea

23
Q

What Influenes rates of Enzymatic Reactions?

A

Increase in concentration of products creates competition.

Initial concentration of substrate since addition of substrate leads to max velocity at which nothing else happens.

Physiochemical environment such as temperature, pH and hydrostatic pressure.

24
Q

1) Michaelis-Menten Kinetics

Hint : Involves V, S, and Km

2) Exception

A

1) V = Vmax x [S] / ([S] + Km)

where Vmax is the velocity at which enzyme saturation occurs.

2) Km = [S] required to reach 1/2 Vmax
3) enzymes with multiple binding sites cooperate because binded enzyme experiences change from substrate too, which promotes more binding.

25
1) Factors Determining Vmax 2) kcat
1) Number and catalytic effectiveness of enzyme molecules 2) Turnover number - Substrate molecules to product molecules per second, per saturated enzyme molecule
26
Biomolecules
Energy Carriers Proteins Carbohydrates Lipids Nucleic Acids
27
Biomolecule : Energy Carriers
Adenotriphosphate (ATP) to ADP yields 🔺G0' = -30.5 kJ/mol Acetyl CoA produced within mitochondria can ber used to produced ATP, GTP and Heat
28
Acetyl CoA and Ketone Transport
When blood-glucose levels are low, insulin production inhibited. When Insulin levels are low, increase in fat metabolism produces Acetyl CoA. Liver cells convert Acetyl CoA ---\> ketones (ketogenesis) In the CNS, neural cells convert ketones to Acetyl CoA
29
Biomolecules : Proteins
Amino Acids bonded together with peptide bonds. Can have 4 structural levels, each shape related to function.
30
Biomolecules : Carbohydrates
Monosaccharide: Glucose, Fructose and Galactose modify macromolecules Disaccharides: Obtained by diet but need to be broken down to use Polysaccharides: Glycogen and Startch serve in energy storage
31
Biomolecules : Lipids
Diverse group that includes : Fatty Acids (saturated or unsaturated) Triglycerides (glycerol backbone with three fatty acids) Phospholipids which are amphipathic Steroids (lipid soluble so can diffuse through cell membrane)
32

34
Pros and Cons of CP hydrolysis
Pros : Max muscle power, no harmful by-products, no effect on pH, reaction is reversible. Cons: Short duration (muscle stores rapidly exhausted), no beneficial by-product.
35
Anaerobic Glycolysis
Glucose + ATP Glucose 6-phosphate + Glycogen Fructose bisphosphate splits Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate AND Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (which forms a second G3p Both G3ps combine with one NaD+ each to yield 2 NADH (2) 1, 3 Biphosphogylcerates combine with one ADP each to yield 2 ATP (2) 3-Phosphoglycerates -----\>2-Phosphoglycerates yield H20 (2) Phosphoenolpyruvates combine with one ADP each to yield 2 ATP ENDING IN 2 PYRUVATES

39
Pros and Cons of Anaerobic Glycolysis
Pros : Maximum muscle power possible, no Oxygen needed, 2 moles of water per glucose. Cons : Short duration, low yield, Lactic acid, lowers pH, not reversible.
40
Oxidative phosphorylation Four steps
1) Glycolysis but then the resulting 2 Pyruvate to Lactate 2) TCA cycle x two 3) Electron Transport System 4) Proton Motive Force
41
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
Acetyl CoA --\> Citrate --\> Isocitrate --\> 2-Oxoglutarate (yielding NADH and CO2) --\> Succinyl CoA (yielding NADH and CO2) --\> Succinate (yielding GTP) ---\> Fumarate (yielding FADH2) --\> Malate --\> Oxalaoacetate (yielding NADH) --\> Citrate
42
Electron Transport System
Complex 1 collects electrons from NADH Complex 2 transfers electrons from succinate to FAD (ubiqunone) yielding Fumarate Complex 3 transfers H+ out as electron passes through then onto cytochrome c Complex 4 transfers H+ out and also creates H2O from O2 Complex 5 transfers a H+ in and creates an ATP from ADP
43
Proton Motive Force
Electrochemical gradient created by ETS allows H+ to return via Complex V (energy transformed into heat) and ATP created from ADP.
44
Oxidative phosphorylation theoretical yield Glycolysis: 2 ATP + 2H2O + 2 NADH/H+ Pyruvate -\> Acetyl CoA: 2 NADH/H+ TCA: 2 GTP + 2 FADH2 + 6 NADH/H+ 10 NADH/H+ -\> NAD+: 30 ATP + 10 H2O 2 FADH2 -\> FAD: 4ATP + 2 H2O Total: 36 ATP + 2 GTP & total Gibbs: -2854kJ/mol & 14 moles of H2O per glucose
45
Pros and Cons of Aerobic Glycolysis
Pros: High yield (2854 kJ/mol glucose), long duration, beneficial by-products. Cons: Max muscle power not possible, requires O2, harmful by-products, lowers pH, overall not reversible.
46
Lipid Profile

47
Cholesterol
Strengthens interactions between polar heads and disrupts interactions between polar tails. Reduces permeability, alters membrane fluidity
48
Membrane Heterogenity
Inner and outer layers different - outer PC and glycolipids, inner PE and PS Lipid raftes - increased concentration of Cholesterol and glycolipids. Increases rigidity and thickness, reduce fluidity.
49
Passive Diffusion

J= D(C1-C2)/X useful when interest in the effect of variation with respect to thickness
51
Facilitated Diffusion
