Exam 1- BICH 410

QuestionAnswer
What is the letter symbol for Enthalpy? H
Endothermic H > 0
Exothermic H < 0
What is the letter symbol for Entropy? S
Final state is more ordered than initial state in entropy? S < 0
Final state is less ordered than initial state in entropy? S > 0
What is the letter symbol for Free Energy? G
Equation for Free Energy G = H - TS
Exergonic (delta)G < 0, High energy to low energy, spontaneous
Endergonic (delta)G > 0, Low energy to high energy, non spontaneous
Free Energy Change Equation (delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S
(delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S < 0 Spontaneous
(delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S > 0 Non spontaneous
Free Energy Change depends on Characteristic, Concentration, Stoichiometry, Temp
Standard Free Energy Change Symbol (delta)G°
Standard Free Energy Change Equation (delta)G° = -RT ln Keq
Biochemists Standard State Equation (delta)G = (delta)G°’ + RT ln ([P]/[R])
Keq >> 1 (delta)G is large and negative, highly favorable
Keq << 1 (delta)G is large and positive, highly unfavorable
Hydrophilic LOVE water! Polar and Ionic Compounds
Hydrophobic Hate water. Non polar Compounds
What is Enthalpy-Entropy Compensation? Loss of bonds ((delta)H > 0) but increase in disorder ((delta)S > 0)
Amphipathic Molecules Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic
What is neutral pH? 7.0
Equation to find pH pH = -log (H+)
Relation between H+ and pH Lower the H+, higher the pH
Relation between OH- and pH Lower the OH-, lower the pH
Relation between H+ and OH- Lower the H+, higher the OH-
Equation to find pOH pOH = -log (OH-)
pH + pOH should always equal what? 14
Which is the proton donor? Acid or Base? Acid
Which is the proton acceptor? Acid or Base? Base
Equation to find pKa pKa = -log(Ka)
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation pH = pKa + log ((A-)/(HA))
Titration Curve Axis’s pH vs amount of strong base added
What is the Inflection Point? Point which enough base has been added to neutralize 50% of acid
What is the Equivalence Point? Point which enough base has been added to exactly neutralize the acid
Monoprotic Acid is what? One dissociable proton with 2 possible ionic forms
Diprotic Acid is what? Two dissociable protons with 3 possible ionic forms
Triprotic Acid is what? Three dissociable protons with 4 possible ionic forms
The buffer is at what point on titration curve? Where the titration curve becomes flat
Alanine Ala, A
Arginine Arg, R
Asparagine Asn, N
Aspartic Acid Asp, D
Cysteine Cys, C
Glutamic Acid Glu, E
Glutamine Gln, Q
Glycine Gly, G
Histidine His, H
Isoleucine Ile, I
Leucine Leu, L
Lysine Lys, K
Methionine Met, M
Phenylalanine Phe, F
Proline Pro, P
Serine Ser, S
Threonine Thr, T
Tryptophan Trp, W
Tyrosine Tyr, Y
Valine Val, V
Which AA have 3 acid-base groups (due to their ionizable side chains)? Lys, Arg, His, Glu, Asp, Cys, Tyr, Ser, Thr
Polar Side Chains Hydrophilic
Non polar Side Chains Hydrophobic
Cationic Low pH, ALL ionizable groups protonated
Anionic High pH, ALL ionizable groups deprotonated
Charge range for AA with no charge on R group? +1 -> -1
Charge range for AA with positive charge on R-group? +2 -> -1
Charge range for AA with negative charge on R-group? +1 -> -2
Equation to find Isoelectric Point (pI) pI = 1/2 (pKi + pKj)
How are AA Residues named? Drop the “ine” and add “yl”
Charge characteristics of Peptides pKa free carboxyl = 3.5, pKa free amino = 8.5
Charge characteristics of Free AA pKa alpha carboxyl = 2, pKa alpha amino = 9
Homomultimeric Protein Composed of multiple polypeptides that are identical
Heteromultimeric Protein Composed of multiple polypeptides that are unique
What is the protein purification strategy? Isolate, Detect (UV or Bradford Assay), Assay Protein Activity, Separation Techniques (Salting Out, Ion Exchange, Hydrophobic Interactions, Gel Filtration, Affinity Chromatography), Quantitation
Salting Out Use low salt concentration -> Unwanted proteins, Use high salt concentration -> Target protein
Ion Exchange Separate by charge. action/Anion Exchange
Hydrophobic Interactions Purifies Non-polar molecules
Gel Filtration Separate by size or MW, High MW (1st off) -> Middle MW -> Smallest MW (last off)
Endopeptidases Enzymes that hydrolyze an internal peptide bond
Exopeptidases Enzymes that hydrolyze N-term/C-term residues (external peptide bond)
Protein Sequencing Determines order of AA in chain; 2 Methods: Edman Degradation and Mass Spec
Protein Structure Levels 1 -> 2 -> motifs -> domains -> 3 -> 4
Secondary Structure 3 Main alpha helix, beta sheet, beta turn
Tertiary Structure Morphology Globular and Fibrous
Oligomers (Proteins with >1 subunit) Dimer (2 subunits), Trimer (3 subunits), Tetramer (4 subunits), Homodimer (Same), Heterodimer (Different)
Domains Tertiary Structure that results from a combination of secondary structres
What interactions stabilize tertiary structures? Hydrophobic and Electrostatic Interactions, Hydrogen Bonds, Chemical Crosslinking
What does denaturation mean? Unfold
What disruptions cause proteins to unfold? Heat, pH, detergents, chaotropic agents
When will proteins unfold? When (delta)G = 0
Below denaturation temp -> Protein folded
Above denaturation temp -> Protein unfolded
Protein folding types Hierarchical and Hydrophobic Collapse
Molecular Chaperons 2 classes: Hsp70 Family and Chaperonins
Protein Folding Diseases Sickle Cell Anemia, Alzheimer’s, Creutzfeldt-Jacob, Hereditary Emphasema, Cystic Fibrosis
Sickle Cell Anemia Hemoglobin - Deformation of erythrocytes
Alzheimer’s Beta amyloid peptide - Plaques form in neural tissue
Creutzfeldt-Jacob Prion - Plaques for in neural tissue
Hereditary Emphasema Alpha 1-antitrypsin - Slow folding allows elastase to destroy lung tissue
Cystic Fibrosis CFTR - Folding intermediates are not stable and are degraded
