ATP Triphosphate Adenosine Ribose
Roles of ATP(Coupled Reactions) ∆Go’ (kJ/mol) ---------- Fructose-6-P + Pi ——> Fructose-1,6-bisP + H2O +13.3 ATP + H2O ——> ADP + Pi -30.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fructose-6-P + ATP ——> Fructose-1,6-bisP + ADP -17.2
Roles of ATP • Early stages of nutrient breakdown Glucose + ATP ——> Glucose-6-P + ADP • Interconverson of nucleoside triphosphtes NDP + ATP ——> NTP + ADP Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase • Physiological processes • Muscle contraction • Active transport
Roles of ATP • Additional phosphoanhydride cleavages in highly endergonic reactons (NMP)n + NTP ——> (NMP)n+1 + PPi PPi + H2O ——> 2 Pi Pyrophosphatase
Sources of ATP Phototrophs: photosynthesis Chemotrophs: oxidation of organic compounds (e.g. carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins)
Formation of ATP • Adenylate Kinase reaction2 ADP ——> AMP + ATP • Substrate-level phosphorylationX–P + ADP ——> X–H + ATP • Oxidative phosphorylation • Photophosphorylation

Properties of Metabolic Pathways • Separate Anabolic and Catabolic Pathways • Steady-State • Irreversible (overall): reversibility of individual steps • First Committed (Exergonic) Step: others close to equilibrium • Compartmentation (organelles & tissues): isoenzymes and transport • Regulation (usually first committed step): often rate-limiting
Thermodynamics of individual steps A B Go’ = -RTlnKeq Not standard conditions or at equilibrium: G = Go’+RTln([B]/[A]) Three Physiological Conditions: Go’<<<<<<0 : G always negative Example: ATP hydrolysis Go’>0 : near equilibrium, reversible, direction depends on actual [B]/[A] Example: Most reactions Go’>>>>>>0 : G always positive, must be coupled Example: Phosphorylation of Glucose

Regulation of Metabolic Pathways Specific Controls General Controls
Specific Controls • Control of Enzyme Amount • Constitutive Enzymes • Inducible Enzymes • Repressible Enzymes • Control of Enzyme Activity • Regulatory Enzymes • Effectors (Ligands)
General Controls(Integration of Cellular or Organism Functions) • Internal Effectors • Catabolite Repression • Energy Charge • Reduction Potential • External Effectors (e.g. hormones) Significance: Efficiency and Flexibility!
