MCM- Cellular Transport Flashcards
The goal of this is to sustain life and capture/harness energy
Metabolism
(+) Delta G is what type of reaction
Endergonic Reaction
(-) Delta G is what type of reaction
Exergonic Reaction
K(eq) = 1
Equilibrium
K(eq) > 1
Spontaneous; Exergonic
K(eq) < 1
Not Spontaneous, Endergonic
What is the most important reaction to sustain life
Acid/Base
Bi-Carbonate Ion
Increases pH
Acetic Acid Buffer
Decreases pH
Kidney Regulation of Blood pH; High
Decreases removal of H+; Decrease absorption of HCO3-
Kidney Regulation of Blood pH; Low
Increase removal of H+; Increase absorption of HCO3-
Normal Blood pH
7.00 +/- 0.03 (7.37-7.43)
Respiratory Acidosis
Not breathing enough, retain CO2; increasing H+ in the blood
Hypoventilation effect on blood pH
Respiratory Acidosis
Metabolic Acidosis
Addition of strong Acid; loss of HCO3-
Respiratory Alkalosis
Breathing too much, lose too much CO2, decrease H+ in the blood
Hyperventilation effect on blood pH
Respiratory Alkalosis
Metabolic Alkalosis
Too many Tums or strong bases added
Enzymes effect on a Rxn
Lower Ea (Activation Energy)
3 Parts that determine a reaction
Delta G, Ea (Activation Energy), Transition State
6 Classes of Reaction
Oxidoreductase, Transferase, Isomerase, Lyases, Ligases, and Hydrolases
Oxidoreductase
Transfer e- from donor to acceptor
Transferase
Transfer functional group between molecules
Isomerase
Transfer functional group internally
Lyases (Synthase)
Add or remove atoms to/or from double bonds
Ligases (Synthetase)
Form bonds w/ hydrolysis of ATP
Hydrolase
Cleave bonds w/ addition of H20
Fit Perfectly into the Active Site
Lock and Key
Binds and produces a confirmation change on the active site
Induced Fit
Co-Factors
Metal ions, non-covalent interactions, stabilize
Co-Enzymes
Small Organic Molecules
Copper Co-Factor
Cytochrome C Oxidase
Cytochrome C Oxidase
Accepts e- form cytochrome-c in the e- transport chain
Iron Co-Factor
Heme Proteins (Hemo- and myo- globin)
Magnesium Co-Factor
ATPases
ATPases
Hydrolyze ATP to ADP and use released energy for mechanical work
Selenium Co-Factor
Glutathione Peroxidase
Glutathione Peroxidase
anti-oxidant, detoxifies hydrogen peroxide
Zinc Co-Factor
Superoxide Dismutase
Superoxide Dismutase
anti-oxidant, Binds free radical of molecular oxygen
Co-Enzyme Types
Prosthetic group or Co-Substrate
Prosthetic Group
Permanent Association; Ex. FAD, FMN, Heme
Co-Suubstrate
Temporary Association (Bind and Release); Ex. NAD+
Covalent Modifactions of Enzymess (2)
Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation
Enzyme Kinetic Dependents
Substrate Concentration, Km-> Affinity to bind substrate, and Vmax-> max speed at which reaction can occur
Enzyme Inhibitors (3)
Non-Competitive
Competitive
Uncompetitive
Competitive Inhibition
Can be overcome with increase in [S]
No effect on Vmax
Affinity to bind substrate decrease, so Km Increases
Non-Competitive Inhibition
Lowers Vmax because increasing [S] doesnt help
Binds both E and E+S
Km unchanged because it does not bind at active site
Uncompetitive
Km and Vmax go down at same factor
Binds E+S only
Inactivation
Irreversible loss of function of the enzyme; destruction of key functional groups
Decrease Vmax, Km is unchanged
Vmax goes down because adding [S] does not help
Only overcome by making new enzymes
Chelating co-factors
Inhibits the enzyme
What is EDTA used for
Chelating out Lead in lead poisoning. EDTA-Ca is introduced and Lead (Pb) binds the EDTA which then is excreted harmlessly through the urine
Allosteric Modification
Non-covalent modification; not on the active site
Induces confirmational change in the enzyme
can be positive or negative
Isozymes
Same function; different properties depending on the location of the enzyme (i.e. heart, brain, etc.)
What marker is released for an MI
Troponin, cTn-1, the specific troponin for cardiac myocytes
Max sensitivity of Troponin after MI
10-24 Hours after onset
