Lecture 3 • August 5, 2005 • Lehninger (4th Edition), Chapter 13
Types of Organic Reactions • 1) Group transfer • Glucose + ATP Glu-6-P + ADP • H2O + ATP Pi + ADP • 2) Oxidation-reduction reactions • Ethanol + NAD+ acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ • 3) Eliminations, isomerizations, rearrangements • aldose ketose • 4) reactions involving making or breaking of C-C bonds • Fru-1,6, bisphosphate dihydroxyacetone-phosphate • + glyceraldehyde-3phosphate
Biochemical reactions are subject to the laws of thermodynamics
A + B C + D DG = 0 at equilibrium
Gas constant • R = 8.313 J/mol.K • = 1.987 cal/mol.K • 1 cal = 4.184 J • at 25oC RT = 2.497 kJ/mol • = 0.592 kcal/mol
Many reactions in biological systems are by themselves not energetically favored (DG > 0) they have to be “pushed” 1. By changing concentrations of reactants 2. By coupling them to energy releasing reactions 3. enzymatic mechanisms are designed to accomplish this
