Q

G > 0

A

NOT PROCEED

20
Q

G < 0

A

SPONTANEOUS

21
Q

G &laquo_space;0

A

IRREVERSIBLE

22
Q

G ~ 0

A

REVERSIBLE, EQUILIBRIUM

23
Q

if reversible reaction, what can change direction

A

changes in concentration

24
Q

even for a pathway to proceed

A

G < 0

25
Q

what kind of steps are regulated

A

irreversible

26
Q

rate limiting step

A

irreversible, determines overal rate

27
Q

product inhibition

A

enzyme inhibited by product of reaction

28
Q

feedback inhibiton

A

enzyme inhibited by metabolite further down pathway

29
Q

Feedback inhibition is usually

A

negative heteroallostery

30
Q

feed forward activation

A

enzyme activated by metabolite upstream

31
Q

reciprocal regulation

A

opposing pathways catalyze reverse (bad for net consumption of ATP), regulation occurs so both do not happen at the same time

32
Q

high energy intermediates

A

compounds that contain usable chemical energy

33
Q

3 major types of high energy molecules

A

electron carriers (NADH, FADH), nucleotide triphosphate, (ATP,GTP), thioesters

34
Q

Catabolism

A

metabolites oxidized, cofactors reduced, NAD+ or FAD

35
Q

Anabolism

A

metabolites reduced, cofactors oxidized, NAPDH

36
Q

how can nucleotides be electron carriers

A

nitrogen base enables a reversibel reduction reaction

37
Q

NAD+ and NADP are

A

co substrates

38
Q

FAD is

A

prosthetic group

39
Q

what must happen to FAD

A

Ubiquinone is reduced to ubiquinol which reoxidizes FADH back to FAD to be used

40
Q

ATP is high energy cuz

A

phosphoanhydride bonds

41
Q

approximately how much energy does hydrolysis of ATP molecule release

A

-32 kJ/mol

42
Q

ADP vs ATP

A

decreased electrostatic repulsion, energetically favourable, resonance stabilization, solvation effects

43
Q

which one is more electrostatic-ally favourable? ADP or phosphate alone

A

phosphate alone

44
Q

thioesters

A

high energy, similar to esters but no e- delocalization

45
Q

ATP

A

energy currency (phosphoanhydride bonds, catabolism (substrate level phosphorylation

46
Q

ATP uses

A

coupling unfavourable reactions, muscle or flagella movement, primary active transport

47
Q

how much energy does hydrolysis of phosphocreatine make

A

-43 kJ/mol
