Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers • Enzyme • Catalyst • Activation energy • Transition state • Substrate • Enzyme- substrate complex • Active site • Induced fit • Cofactors • Coenzyme • Competitive inhibitors • Noncompetitive inhibitors • Allosteric regulation • Cooperativity • Feedback inhibition
Metabolism • the totality of an organism’s chemical reactions • We want increase our metabolism to lose more weight
Metabolic Pathways a series of chemical reactions that eitherbuildsa complex molecule (anabolic pathway) or breaks down a complex molecule into simpler compounds (catabolic pathway)
Anabolic Pathway (biosynthetic pathways) - metabolic pathway that consumes energy to buildcomplicated molecules from simpler ones
Bioenergetics the study of how energy flows through living organisms
Catabolic Pathway (breakdown pathways)- metabolic pathway that releases energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds.
Energy the capacity to cause change
Kinetic Energy • energy that can be associated with the relative motion of objects • Diver gains kinetic energy when he gains velocity
Heat Energy • kinetic energy associated with the random movement of atoms or molecules
Potential Energy • energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure • As height increases, potential energy increases. • When diving off a diving board, all of the initial energy is potential.
Chemical Energy • potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction.
Thermodynamics • the study of the energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter
First Law of Thermodynamics • (principle of conservation of energy)- energy is transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
Second Law of Thermodynamics • every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe
Spontaneous • a process that can occur without an input of energy
Free Energy • the portion of a system’s energy than can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system, as in a living cell • ∆G=∆H-T∆S • ∆G=Gfinal state-Ginitialstate
Equilibrium • a state of maximum stability
Reactions Exergonic endergonic • a spontaneous chemical reaction, in which there is a net release of free energy • a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, in which free energy is absorbed from the surroundings
Energy Coupling • the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonicone
Types of work Chemical transport • pushing of endergonicreactions which would not occur spontaneously • pumping of substances across membranes against the direction of spontaneous movement
ATP • (adenosine triphosphate)- an adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed; used to driveendergonic reactions in cells
Phosphorylated • referring to a molecule that is covalently bound to a phosphate group
Enzyme (the cry) • a macromolecule that acts as a catalyst • http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/GLO1_Homo_sapiens_small_fast.gif
Catalyst (your crying) • a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
Activation Energy (free energy of activation)- the energy required to contort the reactant molecules so the bonds can break
Transition State • when the reactants are in an unstable condition
Substrate (hugged) • the reactant an enzyme acts on
Enzyme-Substrate Complex (the hug) • – a temporary complex formed when an enzyme binds to its substrate molecule (s).
Active Site (hugger) • a restricted region of the enzyme molecule that binds to the substrate; I’m the hugger (active site) and you’re being hugged (substrate)
Induced Fit (hug you real tight) • induced by entry of the substrate, the change in shape of the active site of an enzyme so that it binds more snugly to the substrate
Cofactors (arms) • any nonprotein molecule or ion that is required for the proper functioning of an enzyme. Can be permanently bound to the active site or may bind loosely with the substrate during catalysis.
Coenzyme • an organic molecule serving as a cofactor. Most vitamins function as coenzymes in metabolic reactions. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYgdGqk8buQ
Competitive Inhibitor • a substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site in place of the substrate whose structure it mimics.
Noncompetitive Inhibitor • a substance that reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a location remote from the active site, changing the enzyme’s shape so that the active site no longer functions effectively.
Allosteric Regulation • the binding of a regulatory molecule to a protein at one site that affects the function of the protein at a different site.
Cooperativity • a kind of allosteric regulation whereby a shape change in one subunit of a protein caused by substrate binding is transmitted to all the others, facilitating binding of subsequent substrate molecules.
Feedback Inhibition • a method of metabolic control in which the end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme within that pathway.
