5
G, Free Energy, recall:
6
For biochemical reactions, we define a different standard state for the concentration of H+ standard state for [H+] = 10-7 M, pH = 7.0 this modified standard state is given the symbol G°’
7
ATP the experimental value of K’ eq = 2.23 x 10 5
8
ATP-Why? resonance repulsion BUT,it’s kinetically stable
9
Other “high energy compounds
10
"High energy" substance: a thermodynamically unstable substance whose hydrolysis or decomposition can be easily coupled to an unfavorable reaction. The arbitrary cut-off is ~-10kJ/mol. There is no such thing as a "high energy bond" per se.
11
Coupled Reactions Free energies are additive; favorable rxns can drive unfavorable;e.g.sequential coupling
12
Sequential coupling
13
Simultaneous coupling Example:Glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
14
Example: calculate G°’ for this reaction involving phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and decide whether or not it is spontaneous use the following information from Table 14.1
15
Under aerobic conditions, glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water the efficiency of the energy conservation under aerobic conditions is approximately 34% Metabolism concerns how you get from here to there!!
16
Metabolic strategies-Oxidation(burning of carbon containing compounds)
17
Substrate level phosphorylations
18
Ion gradients
19
Overall Process
20
Recurring Motifs in Metabolism “Activated” electron and functional group carriers
21
Electron Carriers: NAD+ H: -
22
Electron Carriers: FAD
23
Typical Oxidation Reactions
24
“ Carbon ” carriers
25
Chemical Reaction “ themes ” in metabolism
26
Chemical Reaction “ themes ” in metabolism: Patterns
27
Factors Affecting Metabolic Rate Metabolism operates at a steady state. Metabolites flow through the steady state
28
Factors Affecting Metabolic Rate
29
Metabolites flow through the steady state ATP
30
Factors Affecting Metabolic Rate
32
Factors Affecting Metabolic Flow or flux through pathways Amounts of enzymes Catalytic activity of enzymes Availability of substrates
33
ATP Balance affects many metabolic pathways
35
CONTROL OF METABOLIC FLUX, J SAB JJ P rate determining step e.g. glucose pyruvate
36
CONTROL OF METABOLIC FLUX, J e.g. Substrate Cycling: See glycolysis (F-6- P to F1,6-BP)
