A

Addition of an electron rich species (nucleophile) to an electron poor species (electrophile)

29

What is an aromatic substitution?

A

Substitution of a hydrogen on an aromatic ring with another group excluding oxygen or nitrogen.

30

What is an acyl substitution?

A

Addition of an electron rich species (nucleophile) to an amide, esters, or carboxylic acids

31
Q

Two hallmarks to an elimination rxn?

A
  1. Removal of a group
  2. Double or triple bond formation
32
Q

Addition reactions usually involve _______ and _______.

Acyl substitution reactions involve ______, _________, and ________.

A

Aldehyde and Ketones (Addition Reactions)

Amides, Esters, and Carboxylic Acids (Substitution Reactions)

33
Q

Adding an OH to an aromatic ring is considered a ___________ reaction.

A

REDOX

34
Q

What kind of reaction is the very first step of glycolysis?

A

Isomerization

35
Q

In order for a process to be favored to work, Delta G needs to be _________.

A

Negative (aka spontaneous reaction)

36
Q

What does a catalyst do?

A

Increase reaction rate by lowering energy of activation.

A catalyst will allow the reaction to go through alternate pathway.

Catalyst do not appear in the product and are not consumed during the process.

37
Q

What are the main type of catalyst in biological systems?

A

Enzymes

38
Q

What are the differences between fibrous and globular proteins?

A

Fibrous Proteins - structural, found in cell membranes and transport groups.

Globular Proteins- more spherical in nature, less rigid in their structure and can undergo confirmation changes.

39
Q

What are the characteristics of enzymes?

A
  1. Efficiency - work better than typical chemical catalyst.
  2. Specificity- specific for individual chemical processes.
  3. Well Regulated- adaptive to different metabolic, environmental conditions. Knows when to turn off.
40
Q

What is Delta S? How does this relate to enzymes?

A

Entropy, a measure of disorder. The most important factor for enzymes, enzymes work by creating more disorder in their enzymatic structure.

41
Q

What are co-factors?

A

They are non-protein components that are required to allow an enzyme to perform its role.

They bind within enzyme to promote enzymatic processes.

42
Q

What are two types of cofactors and give examples?

A

Inorganic Ions (Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Mb)

Organic (Coenzymes)- derived from vitamins, NADH, Niacin, Thiamin, Folic Acids, Vitamin D, Riboflavin, Vitamin C.

43
Q

A favored reaction = __________
A disfavored reaction = _________

A

spontaneous
non-spontaneous

44
Q

What enzyme is involved with nucleophilic substitution reactions?

A

Transferases

45
Q

What enzyme is involved with acyl substitution?

A

Hydrolases

Ex: Ester to carboxylic acid

46
Q

What enzyme is involved with redox reactions?

A

Oxidoreductase

47
Q

What enzyme is involved with elimination reactions?

What enzyme is involved with addition reaction?

What enzyme is involved with isomerization?

A

Lyase
