AMPHIPATHIC MOLECULES IN WATER

MOLECULS THAT HAVE BOTH HYDROPHILIC AND HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES

Signal transduction pathway

there is a signal sent from somewhere else in the body

the signal is recieved by the GPCR on the exterior of the cell membrane
the GPCR experiences a conformational change because of the binding of the ligand

the shape change causes the g protein to move away from the GPCR and ATP binds to the separated subunit and activates it

the activated subunit signals for the target protein to come bind to it, in this case is Adenylyl cyclase

the AC turns ATP to cAMP which kicks off the phosphorylation cascade

kinases add phosphates to kinases, thereby activating and deactivating kinases

this phosphorylation cascade amplifies the Original signal that was sent

once the cascade reaches a certain point it will do what the signal sent for

in this case of the epinephrine transduction pathway, the kinase will reach a certain molecule that when activated will begin to cleave off glucose from glycogen

the glucose will either stay in the cell and serve as fuel for that cell or be exported to the cytoplasm to be taken

VAN DER WAALS INTERACTIONS

Even a molecule with nonpolar covalent bonds may have positively and negatively charged regions. Electrons are not always evenly distributed at an instant, they may accumulate by chance in one part of a molecule or another

are atoms weak and occur only when atoms and molecules are very close together

HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTIONS tendency of nonpolar molecules in a polar solvent (usually water) to interact with one another is called the hydrophobic effect. The interactions between the nonpolar molecules are called hydrophobic interactions.

WHERE TO FIND

IN THE CELLULAR MEMBRANE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS MADE UP OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS THAT HAVE HYDROPHOBIC TAILS

IT HELPS PROTEINS FOLD

forces are generated between polar water molecules and a sodium cation or a Cl anion

IONDIPOLE INTERACTIONS

Hydrogen bond: These are strong dipole-dipole type of interactions that occur among polar covalent molecules containing H: connected to one of the three small electronegative elements: O, N, or F

DIPOLE DIPOLE INTERACTIONS These are strong interactions that occur between polar covalent molecules. They are due to the attraction of the + atoms of one molecule to the - atoms of another molecule

ELECTRONEGATIVITY Measurement of the ability of an atom to attract electrons in the context of a chemical bond

The closer the two atoms in their ENs, the more equal their sharing of electrons

Atoms with higher electronegativity values - greater attraction for electrons

Pauling scale and Mulliken scale

3 TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDING

IONIC

ATOMS HAVE FULL CHARGE
IONS

ANION IS NEGATIVELY

CATION IS POSITIVELY

EXAMPLE

Na and Cl

Na+ and Cl-

IONIC COMPOUNDS ARE OFTEN SALTS/CRYSTALS
The rule is that when the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0, the bond is considered ionic

METALLIC

Metallic bonds often have very low electronegativity differences or none at all.
Instead of a bond between just two atoms, a metallic bond is a sharing of electrons between many atoms of a metal element

COVALENT

INTRAMOLECULAR BOND
ATOMS HAVE NO CHARGE
NONPOLAR
Two atoms with SIMILAR electronegativity values share electrons equally -NONPOLAR COVALENT
POLAR
Two atoms with DIFFERENT electronegativity values share electrons unequally -POLAR COVALENT

Regulation of Gene expression

Operons- controlled with multiple start/ stop codons

Examples

Lac

is active in the presence of lactose

Lac absent, repressor bound to active site

Lac present, repressor bound to lac and genes are expressed

CAP and cAMP must be present for operon to function

if glucose is present the lac I repressor will bind to CAP thereby inhibiting gene Y,Z,A production

Trp

is active in absence or tryptophan

repressor is made inactive

trp is synthesized when there is none available

trp present- binds to inactive repressor, making it active and inhibiting production of trp

Negative regulation

the repression binds to the operator to keep the enhancers from binding and activating the sequence

no repressor- translation occurs

Positive regulation

Activator binds to the operator and is turned on

no activator- no translation

Not all genes expressed in every cell, compacted

b) 2 Pyruvate releases 2 CO2 which is converted to 2 two-carbon compound acetaldehyde

Metabolism

Enzymes
Regulation of enzyme activity helping to control metabolism

Enzymes known to be allosterically regulated are constructed from two or more subunits, each composed of a polypeptide chain with its own active site. Oscillates between two different shapes, one active and inactive

Allosteric regulation: any case in which a protein's function at one site is affected by the binding of a regulatory molecule to a separate site.

Feedback Inhibition

A metabolic pathway is halted by the inhibitory binding of its end product to an enzyme that acts early in the pathway

Cooperativity

Considered allosteric regulation due to the substrates binding affecting the catalysis in another active site

Amplifies the response of enzyme to substrates: the substrate primes an enzyme to act on additional substrates more readily

Another type of allosteric activation, substrate binds to one active site in a multisubunit enzyme and triggers a shape change in all the subunits, increasing catalytic activity at other active sites

Inhibitor

Stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme

ATP binds to several catabolic enzymes allosterically, lowering their affinity for substrate and inhibiting their activity. IF ATP exceeds demand, then catabolism slows down as ATP molecules accumulate and bind to the same enzymes to inhibit activity.

Acivator

Stabilizes the shape that has functional active sites

ADP functions as an activator. If ATP production lags behind its use, ADP accumulates and activates the enzymes that speed up catabolism, producing more ATP

Enzyme inhibitors

Non-competitive inhibitors: do not directly compete with the substrate to bind to the enzyme at the active site. They impede enzymatic reactions by binding to another part of the enzyme, causing enzyme to change shape and the active site to become less effective at catalyzing the reaction

Competitive inhibitor: reduce productivity of enzymes by blocking substrates from entering active sites.

Can be overcome by oversaturation of substrates

Cofactors: Enzymes require non protein helpers for catalytic activity. These are bound tightly to the enzyme as permanent residents, or bind loosely and reversibly along with the substrate
Temperature and pH are important in enzyme activity

Humans and bacteria have enzymes that each have a specific optimal temperature and pH.

Rate of reactions increase with temperature because substrates collide more with active sites.

However, after a certain point, a super high temp will drop the speed sharply of the reaction. It disrupts the bonding and other weak interactions tht stabilize the active shpe of the enzyme

Substrate: the reactant and enzyme acts on

The enzyme has a region called the active sit and will bind to its substrate here, forming the enzyme-substrate complex

The more substrate molecules, the more frequently they access the active sites of an enzyme molecule

Substrate is held in active site by weak interactions like hydrogen and ionic bonds

The active site lowers activation energy and R groups of a few of the amino acids that make up the active site catalyze the reaction

Amino acids in active sites directly participate in chemical reactions like brief covalent bonding between substrate and the side chain of said amino acids in the enzyme.

If there are two or more reactants, the active site provides a template on which substrates can come together in the proper orientation for a reaction to happen

Enzyme can provide a microenvironment. An enzyme with amino acids with acidic R groups will provide an environment of low. acidic pH. In this case, an amino acid may facilitate the amount of H+ transfer to substrate as key step in catalyzing reaction

enzyme can stretch substrates toward transitional state forms, doing this breaks critical chemical bonds and reduces the amount of free energy to be absorbed

Substrate is converted to the product or products of the reaction due to the catalytic action of the enzyme

Lock and Key

Induced Fit: tightening of the binding after initial contact. Brings chemical groups of the active site into positions that enhance their ability to catalyze the chemical reaction

Activation energy is the initial investment of energy for starting a reaction- the energy required to contort the reactant molecules so the bonds can break.

Catalysts will lower the activation energy of a process and delta G will be unaffected by catalyst

A macromolecule then acts as a catalyst, a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
Work

Energy coupling is the way the cells manage their energy resources to do these kinds of work

How ATP drives chemical work: Energy coupling using ATP Hydrolysis

c) delta G for glutamic acid conversion to glutamine is +delta G plus - delta G for ATP hydrolysis gives a - free change for the overall reaction. An exergonic process coupled with an endergonic reaction made the overall process spontaneous and exergonic

b) ATP phosphorylates glutamic acid, makes it less stable, more free energy and ammonia later displaces the phosphate group from glutamine

a) Glutamine synthesis from glutamic acid by itself is endergonic, non spontaneous

Energy coupling using ATP hydrolysis

Coupled reactions: Overall delta G is negative together, reactions are spontaeous

Step 2: Exergonic Reaction delta G is negative, reaction is spontaneous

Step 1: Endergonic reaction delta G is positive, reaction is not spontaneous

Mechanical Work: the beating of the cilia, contraction of muscles, and movement of chromosomes during cellular reproduction

ATP binds non-covalently to motor proteins and then is hydrolyzed, causing a shape change that walks the motor protein forward

Transport Work: pumping of substances across membranes against direction of spontaneous movement

ATP phosphorylates transport proteins, causing a shape change that allows transport of solutes

Chemical: pushing of endergonic reactions that don't occur spontaneously

Synthesis of polymers from monomers

Anabolic Pathway

Endergonic reaction is one that absorbs free energy from its surroundings

This reaction stores free energy in molecules, G increases, so delta G is positive

Photosynthesis

Heterotrophs

feed off of other livings things for nutrition (animals and decomposers)

Autotrophs

sustainable without eating other livings, use sunlight and minerals in soil for nutrition, (plants)

Chloroplasts capture light energy and converts it to chemical energy, stored in sugar and other molecules

C4 plants

C4 plants have no photosystem 2

Calvin cycle of C4 plants

Step 3: CO2 is released into the bundle-sheath cell, and enters the Calvin cycle

ATP is used to convert pyruvate to PEP, which allows intake of additional CO2

Step 2: Four carbon compound moves to bundle-sheath cell via plasmodesmata

Step 1: in mesophyll cells, enzyme PEP carboxylase adds CO2 to PEP, generating 4 carbon compound

Mesophyll cells

more loosely packed than bundle-sheath cells

Bundle-sheath cells

tightly packed sheaths around veins of leaves

Photorespiration

peroxisomes and mitochondria within plant cell rearrange and split, releasing CO2

product splits and two carbon compound leaves chloroplast

Rubisco has ability to bind O2 in place of CO2 in the Calvin cycle

when stomata is closed, 3 carbon compound C3 plants produce produce less sugar, because of lack of CO2

Stage 2: Calvin cycle

carbon is reduced using NADPH and ATP from light reactions to make carbohydrates

Step 3: Regeneration of CO2 accepter

G3P that exited cell cycle becomes starting material for other metabolic pathways

9 ATP and 6 NADPH used to synthesize 1 G3P

5 G3P molecules rearranged into 3 molecules of RuBP using 3 ATP

Step 2: Reduction

One molecule of G3P exits cycle to be used by plant cell, other 5 are recycled to regenerate 3 molecules of RuBP

Note: 3 CO2=6G3P formed

a pair of electrons from NADPH and a phosphate group is lost, generating glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. (G3P)

Each 3-phosphoglycerate receives an additional phosphate group

Step 1: Carbon fixation

Each carbon dioxide molecule is added to a 5 carbon sugar using rubisco

6 carbon product splits in half, forming 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate

Stage 1: Light reactions

light absorbed by chlorophyll

ATP generated by chemiosmosis through addition of phosphate to ADP (phosphorylation)

ATP provides energy to cells used in Calvin cycle

electrons from water transferred to NADP+

light reaction makes NADP+ become NADPH with added electron along with hydrogen from water

NADPH acts as reducing power

water absorbed by roots

chloroplast splits hydrogen dioxide (water) into hydrogen and oxygen

Oxygen gas is released into the biosphere

hydrogen becomes a source of protons and electrons

Carbon dioxide enters stomata

Chloroplasts found in cells of mesophyll inside leaves

made up of double membrane called stroma and sacs called thylakoids, which may be stacked as grana

Photosystems

Photosystems are areas of the plant cell populated in the thykaloid membrane that cooperate in light reactions, consisting of light-harvesting complex, reaction center complex, primary electron accepter, and pigment molecules

Linear electron flow

ATP and NADPH and synthesized by energizing both photosystems

Step 8: enzyme NADP+ reductase catalyzes transfer of electrons from ferredoxin to NADP+, two electrons are required for reduction to NADPH, NADPH is released

Step 7: photo-excited electrons passed in redox reactions from primary electron acceptor of photosystem 1 to a second electron transport chain through protein ferredoxin (no ATP produced)

Step 6: Light energy excites electron of P700 pair of chlorophyll a molecules in photosystem 1, electron transfers to primary electron acceptor in photosystem 1, making P700+

Step 5: Potential energy in proton gradient is used to make ATP through chemiosmosis

Step 4: photo-excited electrons are passed from the primary electron acceptor of photosystem 2 to photosystem 1 via the electron transport chain with protein plastocyanin (cytochrome complex), each carrying out redox reactions, releasing ATP

ATP used to pump protons into thylakoid space, contributing to a proton gradient across thylakoid membrane

Step 3: enzyme catalyzes splitting of water, electrons are supplied to P680+, H+ is released to thylakoid space, oxygen atoms combine and generate oxygen gas

Step 2: Electron transferred from P680 to primary electron acceptor, resulting in P680+

Step 1: Photon of light strikes pigment molecule in light harvesting complex in photosystem 2

light is absorbed by light harvesting complex in photosystems, consisting of chlorophyll a, the main photosynthetic pigment in plants, and chlorophyll b in algae

primary electron acceptor can accept electrons and become reduced

Photosystem 1

has a reaction center chlorophyll a called P700 because light is best absorbed by a wavelength of 700 nm (far red zone)

Cyclic electron flow

usually occurs in plants containing a single photosystem

Unlike linear electron flow, electrons cycle back from ferredoxin to the cytochrome complex, then to a P700 chlorophyll in the photosystem complex via plastocyanin molecule

As cycle repeats, ATP is generated

no NADPH formed or oxygen released

Photosystem 2

comes before photosystem 1

has a reaction center chlorophyll a called P680 because light is best absorbed by a wavelength of 680 nm (red zone)

Exergonic reaction proceeds with the net release of free energy

Chemical mixture looses free energy, G decreases, so delta G is negative

Cellular respiration

REDOX reactions

Reduction: Gaining electrons

Reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent which accepts the electron

Oxidation: Loose electrons

Oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent by removing its electron

Anaerobic respiration

Anaerobes

Obligate: Carry out only fermentation. These organisms can't survive in the presence of oxygen

Faculative: can make enough ATP to survive using either fermentation or respiration

Fermentation

Partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuels that occurs without the use of oxygen

Alcohol

c) Acetylaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol, regenerating the the supply of NAD+ needed to continue glycolysis

Lactic Acid

Human muscle cells make ATP by Lactic Acid fermentation when oxygen is scarce, occurs in strenuous excercise, when sugar catabolism for ATP production outpaces the muscles supply of oxygen from the blood

b) 2 pyruvate is reduced directly by 2 NADH to form 2 lactate as an end product, regenerating 2 NAD+

a) Glycolysis resulting in 2 Pyruvate

Aerobic respiration

Step 4: Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis (Both make up oxidative phophorylation)

g) the protons that were pumped out flow back down their gradient via ATP synthase which harnesses the proton motive force to phosphorylate, ADP, forming ATP

the process of H+ through ATP synthase uses the exergonic flow of H+ to drive the phosphoryation of ADP. Thus energy stored in an H+ gradient across a membrane couples the redox reactions of the ETC to ATP synthesis

f) electrons are shuttles from mobile carrier C to complex 4, the electrons are given to O2 which reacts with hydrogen ions, from the aqueous solution, forming water

e) electrons are shuttles to complex 3, then shuttle 3 shuttles them to mobile carrier c, pumping protons out of the matrix

d) FADH2 deposits its electrons via complex 2, which is the only one not along the membrane, so fewer protons are pumped

c) as complex 1 is about to shuttle the electrons to a mobile carrier Q, it pumps out protons from the matrix to the inner membrane space.

b) NADH carries and drops the electrons off at protein complex 1.

a) the NADH and FADH2 formed in glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle are electron carriers and shuttle these high electrons into an electron transport chain built into the inner mitochondrial membrane

Step 3: Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle); (occurs once fore each of the two Acetyl CoA so everything that is yielded in one cycle is doubled

h) substrate is oxidized, reducing NAD+ to NADH and regenerating the molecule that began the process by interacting with Acetyl CoA

So in total we gained 6 NADH, 2 ATP, and 2 FADH2 after citric acid cycle

g)addition of water molecule rearranges bonds in the substrate

f) Two hydrogens are transferred to FAD, forming FADH2 and oxidizing succinate, molecule formed after previous step

Total of 2 FADH2 formed after each acetyl CoA undergoes cycle

e) CoA displaced by a phosphate group, which is transferred to GDP, forming GTP, which can be used to generate ATP

Total of 2 ATP formed after each acetyl CoA undergoes cycle

d) another CO2 lost and he resulting compound is oxidized reducing NAD+ to NADH. The remaining molecule is then attatched to CoA

Total of 2 NADH formed after each acetyl CoA underges cycle

c) Isocitrate oxidized reducing NAD+ to NADH. Then the resulting compound looses a CO2 molecule

Total of 2 NADH formed after each acetyl CoA undergoes cycle

b) citrate is converted to its isomer, isocitrate, by the removal of one water molecule and the addition of another

a) Acetyl COA adds its two-carbon acetyl group to oxaloacetase, producing citrate

Step 2: Pyruvate Oxidation (In between the cytoplasm and the outer mitochondrial membrane)

c) Coenzyme A (CoA) a sulfur containing compound, is attached via its sulfur atom to the two carbon intermediate, forming Acetyl CoA. Since we start with 2 two carbon intermediates, 2 CoA's attach and we yield 2 Acetyl CoA's

So in total, 2 NADH were formed after pyruvate oxidation

2 Acetyl CoA's formed

b) Each molecule has two carbon fragments remaining. Each are oxidized and the electrons are transferred to 2 NAD+, storing energy to form 2 NADH

2 NADH released

a) 2 Pyruvates carboxyl groups are already somewhat oxidized, carrying a little chemical energy, and now fully oxidized giving off 2 CO2 molecules

2 CO2 released

Step 1: Glycolysis (in the cytoplasm)

Energy Payoff Phase

h) after two more steps occur, The phosphate group is transferred from 2 PEP to 2 ADP, yielding 2 ATP and 2 PYRUVATE with the help of PYRUVATE KINASE

So in total we gained a net of 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 Pyruvate

g) The phosphate group in 1,3 BISPHOSPHOGLYCERATE is transferred to ADP in an exergonic reaction. The products yielded are 2 ATP and 2 3-PHOSPHOGLYCERATE. The carbonyl group of G3P has been oxidized.

2 ATP formed

f) two things happen. Each of the 2 G3P's are oxidized by the transfer of electron to 1 NAD+ with the help of the enzyme TRIOSEPHOPHATEDEHYGROGENASE, forming 2 NADH's. The energy from this exergonic reaction allows a phosphate group to be attached to the oxidized substrate, making two high energy products called 1,3-BISPHOSPHOGLYCERATE

2 NADH's formed

Energy investment phase

e) G3P and DHAP convert into each other and now, 2 G3P are used in the next step as fast as it forms

d) ALDOASE cleaves the sugar FRUCTOSE 1,6- Bisphosphate into two different three carbon sugars G3P and DHAP

c) PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE transfers a phosphate group from another ATP to the opposite end of FRUCTOSE 6- PHOSPHATE yielding FRUCTOSE 1,6- Bisphosphate

b) GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE is converted to FRUCTOSE 6-PHOSPHATE by the enzyme PHOSPHOGLUCOISOMERASE

a) Enzyme HEXOKINASE transfers a phosphate group from ATP to GLUCOSE making it more chemically reactive. We yield GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE

1 ATP used

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Powered by the redox reactions of the electron transport chain

Subtopic

Some ATP is made by direct transfer of a phosphate group from an organic substrate to ADP by an enzyme
