Q

Electrons in chemical energy

A

electron further from nucleus: Greater PE
movement to lower orbital: NRG release, kinetic NRG
High PE to low PE: more distant shell to closer shell

Q

Covalent bonds

A

result of shared electrons
when electrons far from both nuclie, lots of PE in bond
closer= lower PE in bond
Longer polymer with lots of bonds means MORE PE
(More when electronegitivity)

22
Q

Phosphates in ATP

A

negatively charged
repelling eachother
so HIGH PE
when released, KE, does work

23
Q

First Law Thermodynamics

A

NRG neither created nor destroyed

24
Q

Second Law

A

Entropy increases, so only part of the energy originally WILL BE LOST to entropy, given off as heat

25
Q

Free Energy: Delta G: GIbbs free energy

A

amount of energy avaliable to do work (NOT THE PART LOST TO ENTROPY)

26
Q

Endergonic

A

Requires NRG, non spontaneous

products higher than reactants

27
Q

Exergonic

A

does not require NRG, spontaneous

products lower than reactants

28
Q

Gibbs free energy equation

A

DELTA G= DELTA H- T DELTA S

29
Q

H

A

Enthalpy, total energy avaliable

30
Q

S

A

entropy, degrees of disorder

31
Q

T

A

temp in kelvin. Higher temperature means higher S (entropy)

increase increases disorder, makes S bigger

32
Q

decrease disorder

A

(-DS) increase chemical energy in bonds (+DH)

33
Q

increase disorder

A

decrease chemical energy in bonds (-DH)

34
Q

Breaking bonds (low energy state

A

Negative Delta G

35
Q

High energy state (making bonds):

A

Postiive Delta G

36
Q

ATP Hydrolysis

A

ATP and Water
break water, add hydroxyl, release phospate. ATP–> ADP +Pi
Lots of energy release with phosophate bond breaking
NEGATIVE Delta G!!!!
Entropy INCREASED

37
Q

Reaction Coupling

A

Overall total is used to determine exergonic or endergonic
Overall negative–> exergonic rxn
product of first reaction is a reactant in the next
See notes/lecture!

38
Q

ATP has intermediate Delta G

A

-7
Because intermediate, can use Pi as input to drive second reaction.
can be used to go to ATP or ADP
Reactions with more neative delta G donate phospate group
Reactions with more psotive delta G recieve phosphate group
ATP NRG provider
ADP NRG acceptor

39
Q

Enzymes

A

Peak is unstable transition state
uncatalyzed has higher Ea
catalysts lower Ea
DELTA G IS ALWAYS THE SAME (from reactants to products)

40
Q

Ea

A

activation enrgy

reactants to transition state

41
Q

Enzyme catalyzed RXN

A
Substrate+ enzyme(E) → ES→ EP→ E+P
enzyme not consumed
ES: complex of substrate and enxyme
reactions catalyzed
EP: complex of enzyme and product
STABALIZE TRANSITION STATE (this is what lowers Ea)
42
Q

Enzymes

A

highly specific. Only a specific molecule, or a small family

can only catalyze one or a very few reactions

43
Q

Competitive Inhibition (reversible)

A

bind to active site of the enzyme and prevent the substrate from binding. Compete with substrate for active site
2 similar molecs compete for active site. Depending on amount of inhibitor or substrate, either
Inhibiting because competeing for binding site
Many drugs work this way

44
Q

Non competitive Inhibition (reversible)

A

Inhibitors bind to site different from active site
a couple of sites on enzyme that can bind molecules (not just the main active site)
The noncompetitive slow down rxn that would be catalyzed by enzyme
Slows it so that very little product is made (if any)
NOT COMPETEING FOR SAME ACTIVE SITE
Can cause conf. change in enzyme, like pocket where substrate would normally bind

45
Q

Enzymes do not

A

HAVE ENERGY!

they just get the molecules right so that its easier

46
Q

Beta galactosidase

A

Attacking molecs (more than one type)
• Semipermeable membrane, put substrate on one side and let it diffuse across membrane
o Substrate radioactively labled
• Found radioactive activity equal on both halves membrabe
• Put enzyme on one side (enzyme can’t pass through, s still can)
o Found more substrate on one side (the one with enzyme) because enzyme and substrate interacting. Substrate gets stuck there

47
Q

Active site

A

Binds to substrate, causes rxn to occur

weak, just stabalizing Tstate, lowering Ea

48
Q

Irreversible Inhibitors

A

usually come from covalent bonds with enzymes and irreversibly inactivate them. enzyme can’t work

49
Q

Reversible Inhibitors

A

Form weak bonds with enzyme and easily dissociate from them

50
Q

H2O2 experiment

A

shine light where rxn occuring. Enzyme and H2O2 have different spectra. BUT at some point in the middle, the spectra become one. Then progresses back

51
Q

Do all enzymes form an enzyme-substrate complex? Beta galactosidase

A

Semi permeable membrane. Substrate on 1 side, can pass through membrane until equilibrium.
THEN added enzyme to one side, it cant pass through membrane, but sub still can. More on the side without the enzyme because substrate stuck with enzyme.

52
Q

Allosteric Regulation (inhibition and activation)

A

Non competitive inhibition
used to control enzymatic pathways
shape change to enzyme
End products often used as indicators of whether pathway should be running
Good to shut down at begining if shut down needs to happen.

53
Q

Cofactors

A

small inorganic molec in cell (vitamins)

to gen substrates to bind well to enzyme tht will act on them

54
Q

Coenzymes

A

small ORGANIC molec in cell

to gen substrates to bind well to enzyme tht will act on them
