Question
Answer
Bond dissociation Energy   The energy required to break or make a chemical bond.  
🗑
Activation Energy   The minimum energy required by reacting molecules.  
🗑
Spontaneous reactions   Exothermic, ∆H is greater than the Ea  
🗑
Non-spontaneous reactions   Endothermic, ∆H is less than the Ea  
🗑
If Ea is increased what happens to the number of particles?   The number decrease  
🗑
If Ea is increased what happens to the reaction rate?   The rate decreases  
🗑
If the Ea is decreased, what happens to the reaction rate?   The rate is increased!  
🗑
Is the effect of a change in Ea on the reaction rate a linear or exponential change?   Exponential!  
🗑
Catalysts   Lower the Ea, speeds up reaction, can be used to regulate kinetics.  
🗑
Vmax   The maximum concentration of a substrate where it will have an effect on the velocity.  
🗑
Steady State Approximation   The ES Complex tends to decay as fast as it forms.  
🗑
Michaelis- Menten Constant   Utilized as a measure of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate. Predicts how velocity is related to [S] if [enzyme] is held constant.  
🗑
If you have a smaller Km, what can you tell abou the enzyme, and reaction rate?   More effective enzyme, faster reaction rate.  
🗑
Enzyme   Biological catalysts.  
🗑
Lineweaver-Burke Equation   A linear presentation of the kinetic response for an enzyme catalyzed process.  
🗑
Competitive inhibition   A molecule (inhibitor) chemically resembles the substrate, so the enzyme gets “confused.” This slows down the rate of reaction because less enzyme is reacting with the substrate.  
🗑
Why is it called competitive inhibition?   The inhibitor is occupying the catalytic sites, therefore there is competition for the catalytic sites.  
🗑
What do you do to reverse competitive inhibition   Increase [S], causing a shift to the right towards the ES complex.  
🗑
Non-Competitive Inhibition   A molecule (inhibitor) reacts with an area remote from the catalytic site. This permanently reduces Vmax.  
🗑
What is a characteristic of a NC inhibitor?   Heavy metal ions.  
🗑
Where does the NC inhibitor bind to?   Non-catalytic sites.  
🗑
How can you reverse NC inhibition?   Add Chelating Agents  
🗑
If there is a change in Vmax, what sort of inhibition is the process?   Non Competitive  
🗑
Irreversible Inhibition   A rapid process that is deleterious to the gross organism.  
🗑
Adenisine Tri Phosphate (ATP)   A nucleotide, that contains an N - base, a pentose and phosphate groups.  
🗑
ATP + Water = ?   ADP and Inorganic phosphate  
🗑
What is the ∆G of hydrolysis of ATP?   -31 KJ  
🗑
What is Gibbs Free Energy (∆G)   A measure of the maximum magnitude of the net useful work that can be obtained from a reaction.  
🗑
What does it mean of ∆G is negative?   Spontaneous reaction/ product favored  
🗑
What does it mean if ∆G is positive?   Non-spontaneous reaction/ reactant favored.  
🗑
1st law of thermodynamics   The energy change of a process is equated to the heat evolved and the work done by that process. ∆E = Q + W  
🗑
2nd law of thermodynamics   To order a random system, work must be done. The universe tends towards disorder.  
🗑
Entropy (∆S)   The measure of randomness or disorder in a system.  
🗑
What is the relationship between entropy and probability of a system?   the more random = the more probable (and the more spontaneous)  
🗑
Free energy change of a process   ∆G = ∆H - T∆S  
🗑
Cellular Energy Conversions   The conversion of reducing power to phosphate power (ATP)  
🗑
Outer Membrane of mitochondria   Mostly permeable  
🗑
Inner Membrane of mitochondria   Difficult to permeate, defines matrix, uses pumps and gates.  
🗑
Pyridine- Linked Dehydrogenase   An enzyme (therefore, a protein), NADH or NADPH (dinucleotide active forms of Niacin)  
🗑
Flavin-Linked Dehydrogenase   An enzyme (protein), FAD or FMN – co factors, Manifestations of Riboflavin  
🗑
Cytochromes   Organo-metallic containing polypeptides. Chelating Agents.  
🗑
What is the typical structure of a cytochrome?   Heme structure - a ring with coordinate covalent bonding.  
🗑
Non- Heme Iron Proteins   • A polypeptide with iron, but no organic substructure (heme) • The iron is locked in by coordinate covalent bonds  
🗑
Co-Enzyme Q   • Not a polypeptide • Can be a redox • Found in all aerobic organisms  
🗑
NADH + H+ + ½ O2 → NAD+ + H2O   Electron Transport  
🗑
What is the gibbs free energy of electron transport?   -220 kJ  
🗑
What is the ultimate electron acceptor?   OXYGEN!!!  
🗑
Chemiosmotic Hypothesis   For oxidative phosphorylation to occur, the mitochondrial membrane must be continuous and it must have a matrix or it cannot create a gradient!  
🗑
What is the effect of uncouplers?   make the mitochondrial membrane porous to protons → continue to burn fuel, but produce no ATP (increased inefficiency)  
🗑
If you run out of ATP and O2 consumption stops, what can you add to restart O2 consumption?   ADP  
🗑
What happens if you add rotenone to the system?   O2 is no longer being consumed.  
🗑
What can you add to reverse the effects of rotenone?   Succinate  
🗑
What does oligomycin do to the system?   Stops consumption of O2  
🗑
What can be done to reverse the effects of oligomycin?   2,4 DNP  
🗑
What is the most permanent way to stop consumption of oxygen?   add Cyanide.  
🗑
