2. Overview: The Energy of Life The living cell is a miniature chemical factory where thousands of reactions occur The cell extracts energy and applies energy to perform work Some organisms even convert energy to light, as in bioluminescence Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

4. Concept 8.1: An organism’s metabolism transforms matter and energy, subject to the laws of thermodynamics Metabolism is the totality of an organism’s chemical reactions Metabolism is an emergent property of life that arises from interactions between molecules within the cell Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5. Organization of the Chemistry of Life into Metabolic Pathways A metabolic pathway begins with a specific molecule and ends with a product Each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

7. Catabolic pathways release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds Cellular respiration, the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, is an example of a pathway of catabolism Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Organization of the Chemistry of Life into Metabolic Pathways

8. Anabolic pathways consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones The synthesis of protein from amino acids is an example of anabolism Bioenergetics is the study of how organisms manage their energy resources Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Organization of the Chemistry of Life into Metabolic Pathways

9. Forms of Energy Energy is the capacity to cause change Energy exists in various forms, some of which can perform work Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

10. Kinetic energy is energy associated with motion Heat (thermal energy) is kinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules Potential energy is energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure Chemical energy is potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction Energy can be converted from one form to another Animation: Energy Concepts Animation: Energy Concepts Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Forms of Energy

11. Fig. 8-2 Climbing up converts the kinetic energy of muscle movement to potential energy. A diver has less potential energy in the water than on the platform. Diving converts potential energy to kinetic energy. A diver has more potential energy on the platform than in the water.

12. The Laws of Energy Transformation Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations A closed system, such as that approximated by liquid in a thermos, is isolated from its surroundings In an open system, energy and matter can be transferred between the system and its surroundings Organisms are open systems Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

13. The First Law of Thermodynamics According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy of the universe is constant: – Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed The first law is also called the principle of conservation of energy Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

14. The Second Law of Thermodynamics During every energy transfer or transformation, some energy is unusable, and is often lost as heat – This loss of heat tends to make the Universe more disordered According to the second law of thermodynamics : – Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

15. Fig. 8-3 (a) First law of thermodynamics (b) Second law of thermodynamics Chemical energy Heat CO 2 H2OH2O + The cheetah creates disorder by releasing heat as well as CO 2 and H 2 O

16. Living cells unavoidably convert organized forms of energy to heat Spontaneous processes occur without energy input; they can happen quickly or slowly – Water flowing downhill – Buildings slowly decay For a process to occur without energy input, it must increase the entropy of the universe Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings The Second Law of Thermodynamics

17. Biological Order and Disorder Cells create ordered structures from less ordered materials – Seems to contradict the second law Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

18. Biological Order and Disorder Organisms also replace ordered forms of matter and energy with less ordered forms – Break down complex molecules into simpler ones Energy flows into an ecosystem in the form of light and exits in the form of heat – This increases entropy of the universe Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

19. The evolution of more complex organisms does not violate the second law of thermodynamics Entropy (disorder) may decrease in an organism, but the universe’s total entropy increases Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Biological Order and Disorder

20. Concept 8.2: The free-energy change of a reaction tells us whether or not the reaction occurs spontaneously Biologists want to know which reactions occur spontaneously and which require input of energy To do so, they need to determine energy changes that occur in chemical reactions Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

21. Free-Energy Change,  G A living system’s free energy is energy that can do work when temperature and pressure are uniform, as in a living cell Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

22. The change in free energy (∆G) during a process is related to the change in enthalpy, or change in total energy (∆H), change in entropy (∆S), and temperature in Kelvin (T): ∆G = ∆H – T∆S Only processes with a negative ∆G are spontaneous Spontaneous processes can be harnessed to perform work Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Free-Energy Change,  G

23. Free Energy, Stability, and Equilibrium Free energy is a measure of a system’s instability, its tendency to change to a more stable state During a spontaneous change, free energy decreases and the stability of a system increases Equilibrium is a state of maximum stability A process is spontaneous and can perform work only when it is moving toward equilibrium Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

24. Fig. 8-5 (a) Gravitational motion (b) Diffusion(c) Chemical reaction More free energy (higher G) Less stable Greater work capacity In a spontaneous change The free energy of the system decreases (∆G < 0) The system becomes more stable The released free energy can be harnessed to do work Less free energy (lower G) More stable Less work capacity Why does a negative  G predict a spontaneous process?

25. Free Energy and Metabolism The concept of free energy can be applied to the chemistry of life’s processes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

26. Exergonic and Endergonic Reactions in Metabolism An exergonic reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy and is spontaneous An endergonic reaction absorbs free energy from its surroundings and is nonspontaneous Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

27. Fig. 8-6 Reactants Energy Free energy Products Amount of energy released (∆G < 0) Progress of the reaction (a) Exergonic reaction: energy released Products Reactants Energy Free energy Amount of energy required (∆G > 0) (b) Endergonic reaction: energy required Progress of the reaction 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 →6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0  G = - 686 kcal/mol  G = + 686 kcal/mol Which is spontaneous? Where does the energy for the second reaction come from

28. Equilibrium and Metabolism Reactions in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium and then do no work Cells are not in equilibrium; they are open systems experiencing a constant flow of materials A defining feature of life is that metabolism is never at equilibrium – Constant flow of materials in and out of cells keeps metabolic pathways from ever reaching equilibrium – Pathways keep going and doing work Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

29. Equilibrium and Metabolism Some of the reversible reactions of respiration are constantly “pulled” in one direction – Kept out of equilibrium – Keeps pathway moving forward Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

30. Concept 8.3: ATP powers cellular work by coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions A cell does three main kinds of work: – Chemical – Transport – Mechanical To do work, cells manage energy resources by energy coupling, the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one Most energy coupling in cells is mediated by ATP Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

31. The Structure and Hydrolysis of ATP ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the cell’s energy shuttle ATP is composed of ribose (a sugar), adenine (a nitrogenous base), and three phosphate groups Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

32. Fig. 8-8 Phosphate groups Ribose Adenine

33. The bonds between the phosphate groups of ATP’s tail can be broken by hydrolysis Energy is released from ATP when the terminal phosphate bond is broken This release of energy comes from the chemical change to a state of lower free energy, not from the phosphate bonds themselves Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings The Structure and Hydrolysis of ATP

34. Fig. 8-9 Inorganic phosphate Energy Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P P P PP P + + H2OH2O i

35. How ATP Performs Work The three types of cellular work (mechanical, transport, and chemical) are powered by the hydrolysis of ATP In the cell, the energy from the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis can be used to drive an endergonic reaction Overall, the coupled reactions are exergonic Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

36. Fig. 8-10 (b) Coupled with ATP hydrolysis, an exergonic reaction Ammonia displaces the phosphate group, forming glutamine. (a) Endergonic reaction (c) Overall free-energy change P P Glu NH 3 NH 2 Glu i ADP + P ATP + + Glu ATP phosphorylates glutamic acid, making the amino acid less stable. Glu NH 3 NH 2 Glu + Glutamic acid Glutamine Ammonia ∆G = +3.4 kcal/mol + 2 1

37. ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation, transferring a phosphate group to some other molecule, such as a reactant The recipient molecule is now phosphorylated The key to coupling exergonic and endergonic reactions is the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate which is less stable and thus more reactive Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings How ATP Performs Work

38. Transport and mechanical work also powered by ATP hydrolysis – Leads to a change in the proteins shape and often its ability to bind another molecule Transport proteins often have a phosphorylated intermediate Motor proteins bind then hydrolyze ATP Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings How ATP Performs Work

39. Fig. 8-11 (b) Mechanical work: ATP binds noncovalently to motor proteins, then is hydrolyzed Membrane protein P i ADP + P Solute Solute transported P i VesicleCytoskeletal track Motor protein Protein moved (a) Transport work: ATP phosphorylates transport proteins ATP

40. The Regeneration of ATP ATP is a renewable resource that is regenerated by addition of a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) The energy to phosphorylate ADP comes from catabolic reactions in the cell The chemical potential energy temporarily stored in ATP drives most cellular work Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

41. Fig. 8-12 P i ADP + Energy from catabolism (exergonic, energy-releasing processes) Energy for cellular work (endergonic, energy-consuming processes) ATP + H2OH2O The energy to produce ATP comes from cellular respiration Plants also make a bit of ATP during photosynthesis

42. Concept 8.4: Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction An enzyme is a catalytic protein Hydrolysis of sucrose by the enzyme sucrase is an example of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

43. Fig. 8-13 Sucrose (C 12 H 22 O 11 ) Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Fructose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Sucrase  G = -7 kcal/mol Spontaneous but Very Very Slow In absence of Enzyme!

44. The Activation Energy Barrier Every chemical reaction between molecules involves bond breaking and bond forming The initial energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called the free energy of activation, or activation energy (E A ) Activation energy is often supplied in the form of heat from the surroundings Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

45. Fig. 8-14 Progress of the reaction Products Reactants ∆G < O Transition state Free energy EAEA DC BA D D C C B B A A

46. How Enzymes Lower the E A Barrier Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the E A barrier – We will see how in a few slides Enzymes do not affect the change in free energy (∆G); instead, they hasten reactions that would occur eventually Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

47. Fig. 8-15 Progress of the reaction Products Reactants ∆G is unaffected by enzyme Course of reaction without enzyme Free energy E A without enzyme E A with enzyme is lower Course of reaction with enzyme

48. Substrate Specificity of Enzymes The reactant that an enzyme acts on is called the enzyme’s substrate The enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate complex The active site is the region on the enzyme where the substrate binds Induced fit (handshake) of the substrate into the active site brings chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the reaction Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

49. Substrate Specificity of Enzymes Induced fit (handshake) of the substrate into the active site brings chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the reaction This is sort of like a lock closing around a key Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

50. Fig. 8-16 Substrate Active site Enzyme Enzyme-substrate complex (b)(a)

51. Catalysis in the Enzyme’s Active Site In an enzymatic reaction, the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme The active site can lower an E A barrier by – Orienting substrates correctly – Straining substrate bonds – Providing a favorable microenvironment – Covalently bonding to the substrate Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

52. Fig. 8-17 Substrates Enzyme Products are released. Products Substrates are converted to products. Active site can lower E A and speed up a reaction. Substrates held in active site by weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds. Substrates enter active site; enzyme changes shape such that its active site enfolds the substrates (induced fit). Active site is available for two new substrate molecules. Enzyme-substrate complex 5 3 2 1 6 4

53. Catalysis in the Enzyme’s Active Site After every cycle more substrate binds More substrate present more product made – True up to a point – Once enzyme is saturated with substrate can’t go any faster – Only way to make product faster at that point is to add more enzyme Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

54. Effects of Temperature and pH on Enzyme Activity Each enzyme has an optimal temperature in which it can function – Increasing T increases activity but only up to a point. Why? Each enzyme has an optimal pH in which it can function Some enzymes work at very hi/lo pH – What would they be? Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

55. Fig. 8-18 Rate of reaction Optimal temperature for enzyme of thermophilic (heat-tolerant) bacteria Optimal temperature for typical human enzyme (a) Optimal temperature for two enzymes (b) Optimal pH for two enzymes Rate of reaction Optimal pH for pepsin (stomach enzyme) Optimal pH for trypsin (intestinal enzyme) Temperature (ºC) pH 54 3210 678910 0 20 40 80 60100

56. Cofactors Cofactors are nonprotein enzyme helpers Cofactors may be inorganic (such as a metal in ionic form) or organic An organic cofactor is called a coenzyme Coenzymes include vitamins Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

57. Enzyme Inhibitors Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of an enzyme, competing with the substrate Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to another part of an enzyme, causing the enzyme to change shape and making the active site less effective Examples of inhibitors include toxins, poisons, pesticides, and antibiotics Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

58. Fig. 8-19 (a) Normal binding (c) Noncompetitive inhibition (b) Competitive inhibition Noncompetitive inhibitor Active site Competitive inhibitor Substrate Enzyme

59. Concept 8.5: Regulation of enzyme activity helps control metabolism Chemical chaos would result if a cell’s metabolic pathways were not tightly regulated A cell does this by switching on or off the genes that encode specific enzymes or by regulating the activity of enzymes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

60. Allosteric Regulation of Enzymes Allosteric regulation may either inhibit or stimulate an enzyme’s activity – Allosteric means “other site” Allosteric regulation occurs when a regulatory molecule binds to a protein at one site and affects the protein’s function at another site Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

61. Allosteric Activation and Inhibition Most allosterically regulated enzymes are made from polypeptide subunits Each enzyme has active and inactive forms The binding of an activator stabilizes the active form of the enzyme The binding of an inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

62. Fig. 8-20a (a) Allosteric activators and inhibitors Inhibitor Non- functional active site Stabilized inactive form Inactive form Oscillation Activator Active formStabilized active form Regulatory site (one of four) Allosteric enzyme with four subunits Active site (one of four) Enzyme oscillates between active and inactive form Activator stabilizes the active form Inhibitor stabilized the inactive form

63. Cooperativity is a form of allosteric regulation that can amplify enzyme activity In cooperativity, binding by a substrate to one active site stabilizes favorable conformational changes at all other subunits Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Allosteric Activation and Inhibition

64. Fig. 8-20b (b) Cooperativity: another type of allosteric activation Stabilized active form Substrate Inactive form

65. Identification of Allosteric Regulators Allosteric regulators are attractive drug candidates for enzyme regulation Inhibition of proteolytic enzymes called caspases may help management of inappropriate inflammatory responses Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

66. Feedback Inhibition In feedback inhibition, the end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway Feedback inhibition prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than is needed Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

67. Fig. 8-22 Intermediate C Feedback inhibition Isoleucine used up by cell Enzyme 1 (threonine deaminase) End product (isoleucine) Enzyme 5 Intermediate D Intermediate B Intermediate A Enzyme 4 Enzyme 2 Enzyme 3 Initial substrate (threonine) Threonine in active site Active site available Active site of enzyme 1 no longer binds threonine; pathway is switched off. Isoleucine binds to allosteric site

68. Specific Localization of Enzymes Within the Cell Structures within the cell help bring order to metabolic pathways Some enzymes act as structural components of membranes In eukaryotic cells, some enzymes reside in specific organelles; for example, enzymes for cellular respiration are located in mitochondria Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
