[RECALLS] Heme, Porphyrins And Nucleotides Flashcards
5th coordinating carbon of myoglobin is linked to:
His F8
6th coordinating carbon of myoglobin is linked to:
His F7
Fetal hemoglobin
Alpha 2
Gamma 2
All are true of myoglobin except
Releases O2 when PO2 of muscles decrease to 20 mmHg during strenous exercise
*It should be 5 mmHg
Hemoglobinopathy where in His F8 is replaced by tyrosine
Hemoglobin M
Oxygen dissociation curve of myoglobin
Hyperbolic
Oxygen dissociation curve of hemoglobin
Sigmoidal
Condition wherein alpha or beta globin chains are absent or decreased in number
Thalassemia
O2 binds to hemoglobin tetramer more readily if other O2 molecules are already bound
Cooperative binding
Largest repository of heme
RBC
Heme iron is ferric
Methemoglobinemia
In cooperative binding
Iron is slightly out of place secondary to sterric repulsion between proximal His and N atoms or porphyrin
Reciprocal coupling of proton and O2 binding
Bohr effect
Iron oxidized to ferric form
Hemin
Iron lie outside the plane of heme
Deoxygenated hemoglobin
Which of the following is true
Unoxygenated myoglobin iron lies outside the heme ring
Low PO2
Synthesis of 2,3 BPG
Direct measure of the activity of heme oxygenase
CO of expired air
Heme coordination process except
Carboxylation and decarboxylation
Which are colorless compounds
Porphyrinogens (Urobilinogens)
Porphyrin ring
Hyrophobic
Bilirubin in bile
Conjugated bilirubin
Blue-green color
Biliverdin
Albumin
Left in plasma
Location of heme oxygenase
Endoplasmic reticulum
Conjugation of bile catalyzed by
UDP glucoronyl transferase
Has large capacity that even under the pathologic conditions, transport does not appear to be rate-limiting for metabolism of bilirubin
Facilitated transport system
Derivatives of purine and the pyrimidine that has a sugar inked to a ring N
Nucleosides
Sugar is linked to the heterocyclic base via:
B, N-glycosidic bond
Which is true of sugar that is linked to a heterocyclic base:
N-1 pyrimidine
N-9 purine
Nucleoside with a phosphoryl group esterified to a hydroxyl group of the sugar
Mononucleosides
Utilized in transfer of formy-group 1
N10-formyl-tetrahydrofolic acid
