delta g and ‘delta g are related how
delt G = ‘delt g + ln (cd/ab)
for two sequential chemical rxns, what does each rxn have unique to them
equilibrium constant and free energy change
chemical link between catabolism and anabolism
ATP
what energy is used to make Atp from ADP +Pi
energy from catabolism of nutrient molecules
what in the cytosol binds to ATP and ADp
MG2+
true substrate of most enzymatic rxns involving ATP
MgATP2-
does hydrolysis have a high or low free energy
high
have a sulfur atom that has replaced the oxygen in the ester bond
thioesters
first step of ATP providing energy
transfer of part of the ATP molecule to a substrate molecule or amino acid residue, activating it
second step of ATP providing energy
displacement of phosphate containing moiety , generating a leaving group
what Is considered a high energy compound
delt g’ of greater than 25 KJ/mol
loss of electrons
oxidation
gain of electrons
reduction
conjugate redox pair means what
something is oxidized, something is reduced
reducing agent or reductant
electron donating molecule
is reducing agent being oxidized or reduced
oxidized
oxidizing agent
electron receiving molcule
is oxidizing agent being oxidized or reduced
reduced
reactions where a compound loses 2 electrons and 2 hydrogen atoms
dehydrogenation
what catalyzes dehydrogenation rxns
dehydrogenase
ways electrons are transferred from donor to acceptor
directly as electrons, as hydrogen atoms, hydride ions, direct combo with oxygen
both NAD+ and NADP+ accept what
two electrons and one hydride ion

flavin nucleotides
enzymes that contain flavin nucleotides
flavoproteins
