Oxidation and Reduction as it pertains to biochemistry
please read Read The Slow Burn
reduction potential can be measured ref. cell test cell fig 13-23
Redox reactions as pairs of half-reactions Fe3+ + Cu+ Fe2+ + Cu2+ The half-reactions: Cu2+ + e- Cu+ E'o = -.18 Fe3+ + e- Fe2+ E'o = .77 always reductions! rh
Energetics calculated from half-reactions Fe3+ + Cu+ Fe2+ + Cu2+ what is E'o for this reaction ? Cu2+ + e- Cu+ E'o =.18 Fe3+ + e- Fe2+ E'o = .77 Fe3+ + Cu+ Fe2++ Cu2+ E'o = (.18 +.77) rh
relationship between free energy and reduction potential DG'o = -nFE'o one confusing thing: by the convention, positive E means spontaneous reaction… or negative DG. rh
Energetics calculated from half-reactions Fe3+ + Cu+ Fe2+ + Cu2+ what is E'o for this reaction ? Cu2+ + e- Cu+ E'o = .18 Fe3+ + e- Fe2+ E'o = .77 Fe3+ + Cu+ Fe2++ Cu2+ E'o = 0.95 rh
nFE'o DG'o = -nFE'o rh
Fe2+ + Cu2+ Fe3+ + Cu+ familiar from earlier chemistry classes… BUT WHAT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?: glucose rh
Oxidation of a "model" sugar molecule:CH2O glucose general: let's make n=1, to aid understanding rh
Oxidation of a "model" sugar molecule:CH2O 1) removal of electrons from sugar rh
Oxidation of a "model" sugar molecule:CH2O 2) reduction of oxygen rh
Oxidation of a "model" sugar molecule:CH2O 3) production of CO2 rh
