Redox reactions 1: hydrogenase/dehydrogenase intro
2) oxygenase/reductase intro
Remember from Gen Chem? Cu+2(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn+2(aq) 16.1
reduced: more bonds to H oxidized: more bonds to O (or N, S, Cl, etc.) 16.1
Redox and metabolism – the big picture Cu+2(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + Zn+2(aq) Cu has higher reduction potential than Zn oxidation of fuel molecules: transfer electrons from organic molecule to O2 16.2
‘uphill’ redox reactions: recharging the battery Zn+2(aq) + Cu(s) + energy Zn(s) + Cu+2(aq) 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 16.2
fat has more energy per carbon than sugar (carbons are more reduced) 16.2
Methanogenesis: CO2 is electron acceptor! CO2 + 4H2 CH4 + 2H2O + energy 16.3
Hydrogenation (reduction) of aldehyds, ketones, imines: 16.4
hydrogenation (reduction) of acid derivatives: the reverse: dehydrogenation 16.4
But where does :H- come from? Where does it go?
NAD(P)H acts as hydride donor NAD(P)H IS NOT AN ACID!!!!!!! (everyone repeat five times!) 16.4B
abbreviations: 16.4B
A few actual examples 16.4D
a double hydrogenation: thioester to aldehyde to alcohol 16.4D
carboxylates need to be activated before hydrogenation 16.4D
Hydrogenation (reduction) of alkene: conjugate addition of hydride 16.5A
dehydrogenation (oxidation) of alkane: (fatty acid degradation) requires flavin as oxidizing agent 16.5A
the second biological redox molecule: flavin (without the phosphate: riboflavin) 16.5B
fatty acid degradation: dehydrogenation (oxidation) of alkane carbons 16.5C
FAD/NAD+ as electron shuttles in catabolism they take electrons (hydride) from organic molecules that we eat 16.7A
. . .and eventually these electrons are shuttled to oxygen 16.7A
NADPH for anabolism (biosynthesis) is generated from pentose phosphate pathway 16.7B
FADH2 can also be reducing agent, but it gets hydrides from NADPH 16.7B
Hydrogenase/dehydrogenase reactions are easy to follow by UV NADH absorbs at 340nm NAD+ does not 16.8
Hydrogen and renewable energy (wind turbine?) 2H20 + energy 2H2 + O2 some hydrogenases make H2 (biohydrogen) NADP-H + H+ H-H + NADP+ other ways to store energy from H2: 1) N2 + 6H2 2NH3 2) CO2 + 3H2 CH3OH + H2O 16.9
Oxygenases and reductases – adding/eliminating oxygen (cortisol pathway) 16.10
