Metabolism
     Chemical reactions of life
            forming bonds between molecules
              dehydration synthesis

              anabolic reactions
            breaking bonds between molecules
              hydrolysis
              digestion
              catabolic reactions
                    That’s why
                   they’re called
AP Biology       anabolic steroids!

    Some chemical reactions release energy
         exergonic                     digesting molecules=
                                         LESS organization=
         digesting polymers             lower energy state

         hydrolysis = catabolism

     Some chemical reactions require
       input of energy
                                         building molecules=
         endergonic                 MORE organization=
         building polymers          higher energy state

         dehydration synthesis = anabolism


AP Biology
Endergonic vs. exergonic reactions
        exergonic                         endergonic
        - energy released                 - energy invested
        - digestion                       - synthesis

AP Biology   ∆G = change in free energy = ability to do work
Energy & life
      Organisms require energy to live
               where does that energy come from?
                 coupling exergonic reactions (releasing energy)
                 with endergonic reactions (needing energy)

 AP Biology
What drives reactions?
     If reactions are “downhill”, why don’t they
        just happen spontaneously?
            because covalent bonds are stable bonds
                                            Why don’t
                                         stable polymers
                  starch                  spontaneously
                                         digest into their
                                            monomers?




AP Biology

AP Biology
Too much activation energy for life
     Activation energy
          amount of energy needed to destabilize
           the bonds of a molecule
          moves the reaction over an “energy hill”


                        glucose           Not a match!
                                        That’s too much
                                        energy to expose

            digestion
              active site binds substrate & puts stress on
               bonds that must be broken, making it easier
               to separate molecules

Notas do Editor

  1. Need a spark to start a fire
  2. 2nd Law of thermodynamics Universe tends to disorder so why don’t proteins, carbohydrates & other biomolecules breakdown? at temperatures typical of the cell, molecules don’t make it over the hump of activation energy but, a cell must be metabolically active heat would speed reactions, but… would denature proteins & kill cells
  3. Living with oxygen is dangerous. We rely on oxygen to power our cells, but oxygen is a reactive molecule that can cause serious problems if not carefully controlled. One of the dangers of oxygen is that it is easily converted into other reactive compounds. Inside our cells, electrons are continually shuttled from site to site by carrier molecules, such as carriers derived from riboflavin and niacin. If oxygen runs into one of these carrier molecules, the electron may be accidentally transferred to it. This converts oxygen into dangerous compounds such as superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, which can attack the delicate sulfur atoms and metal ions in proteins. To make things even worse, free iron ions in the cell occasionally convert hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals. These deadly molecules attack and mutate DNA. Fortunately, cells make a variety of antioxidant enzymes to fight the dangerous side-effects of life with oxygen. Two important players are superoxide dismutase, which converts superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide, and catalase, which converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The importance of these enzymes is demonstrated by their prevalence, ranging from about 0.1% of the protein in an E. coli cell to upwards of a quarter of the protein in susceptible cell types. These many catalase molecules patrol the cell, counteracting the steady production of hydrogen peroxide and keeping it at a safe level. Catalases are some of the most efficient enzymes found in cells. Each catalase molecule can decompose millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules every second. The cow catalase shown here and our own catalases use an iron ion to assist in this speedy reaction. The enzyme is composed of four identical subunits, each with its own active site buried deep inside. The iron ion, shown in green, is gripped at the center of a disk-shaped heme group. Catalases, since they must fight against reactive molecules, are also unusually stable enzymes. Notice how the four chains interweave, locking the entire complex into the proper shape.
  4. Why is it a good adaptation to organize the cell in organelles? Sequester enzymes with their substrates!
  5. Why is it a good adaptation to organize the cell in organelles? Sequester enzymes with their substrates!
  6. Enzymes work within narrow temperature ranges. Ectotherms, like snakes, do not use their metabolism extensively to regulate body temperature. Their body temperature is significantly influenced by environmental temperature. Desert reptiles can experience body temperature fluctuations of ~40°C (that’s a ~100°F span!). What mechanism has evolved to allow their metabolic pathways to continue to function across that wide temperature span?

  8. Ethanol is metabolized in the body by oxidation to acetaldehyde, which is in turn further oxidized to acetic acid by aldehyde oxidase enzymes. Normally, the second reaction is rapid so that acetaldehyde does not accumulate in the body. A drug, disulfiram (Antabuse) inhibits the aldehyde oxidase which causes the accumulation of acetaldehyde with subsequent unpleasant side-effects of nausea and vomiting. This drug is sometimes used to help people overcome the drinking habit. Methanol (wood alcohol) poisoning occurs because methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid which attack the optic nerve causing blindness. Ethanol is given as an antidote for methanol poisoning because ethanol competitively inhibits the oxidation of methanol. Ethanol is oxidized in preference to methanol and consequently, the oxidation of methanol is slowed down so that the toxic by-products do not have a chance to accumulate.
  9. Basis of most chemotherapytreatments is enzyme inhibition. Many health disorders can be controlled, in principle, by inhibiting selected enzymes. Two examples include methotrexate and FdUMP, common anticancer drugs which inhibit enzymes involved in the synthesis of thymidine and hence DNA. Since many enzymes contain sulfhydral (-SH), alcohol, or acid groups as part of their active sites, any chemical which can react with them acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor. Heavy metals such as silver (Ag+), mercury (Hg2+), lead ( Pb2+) have strong affinities for -SH groups. Cyanide combines with the copper prosthetic groups of the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase, thus inhibiting respiration which causes an organism to run out of ATP (energy) Oxalic and citric acid inhibit blood clotting by forming complexes with calcium ions necessary for the enzyme metal ion activator.
  10. Another example of irreversible inhibition is provided by the nerve gas diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) designed for use in warfare. It combines with the amino acid serine (contains the –SH group) at the active site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme deactivates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Neurotransmitters are needed to continue the passage of nerve impulses from one neurone to another across the synapse. Once the impulse has been transmitted, acetylcholinesterase functions to deactivate the acetycholine almost immediately by breaking it down. If the enzyme is inhibited, acetylcholine accumulates and nerve impulses cannot be stopped, causing prolonged muscle contration. Paralysis occurs and death may result since the respiratory muscles are affected. Some insecticides currently in use, including those known as organophosphates (e.g. parathion), have a similar effect on insects, and can also cause harm to nervous and muscular system of humans who are overexposed to them.
