Cell Cycle G1 S G2 M
Prophase: • Chromosomes condense into visible structures. • Nuclear envelope breaks down. • Interphase microtubules disassemble. • Spindle forms. • Prometaphase: • Chromosomes make attachments to each pole and align on the spindle equator (metaphase plate).
Metaphase: • Chromosomes are aligned on equator. • Within a chromosome, sister chromatids are attached to opposite poles via attachment of kinetochores to microtubules.
Anaphase: • A- Sister chromatids separate. • Sister chromatids (now independent chromosomes) move along kinetochore microtubules to the pole to which they are attached. • B- The poles move apart.
Microtubules Forces at anaphase are exerted at kinetochores and overlap zone Minus end directed motors + - Plus end directed motor
Telophase: • Spindle disassembles. • Chromosomes decondense. • Nucleus reforms (nuclear envelope reassembles). • Interphase microtubule array reforms.

Thermodynamics determines whether a reaction CAN go • The change in free NRG (DG) for a reaction determines whether or not it is spontaneous. • The units for DG are cal/mol. • If DG is negative - the reaction is spontaneous and considered thermodynamically favorable. • If DG is positive - the reaction is NOT spontaneous and considered thermodynamically UNfavorable. • The sign AND magnitude of DG matters! • The standard free energy change (DG’) is the free energy change figured under a set of specified conditions, called standard conditions. • Standard conditions: 25C, 1 atm, 1 M concentration for all reactants (except H20 which is at 55.6 M), pH 7 (‘).

Control of Enzyme Activity • Alter enzyme synthesis (expression) • Alter transcription • Alter translation • Regulate degradation rate • Zymogens • Chymotrypsinogen to chymotrypsin • Cofactors (calmodulin, Mg2+, Ca2+) • Phosphorylation • Inhibitors & Activators • Allosteric - not at active site • Competitive inhibition bind at active site Conformational changes

Enzyme inhibitors • Important for cellular regulation of enzyme activity (turn off enzyme), useful for scientists (study transition state), important for pharmaceutical/biotech companies (drugs, antibiotics, pesticides). • Enzyme inhibitors fall into two broad classes: • Irreversible inhibitors - bind tightly, often covalently. • Reversible inhibitors - bind loosely and can be displaced. • Competitive - bind to enzyme’s active site. Can be overcome by high [S]. Raises Km; Vmax same. • Noncompetitive - bind to site on enzyme other than active site.Cannot be overcome by high [S]. Km same; lowers Vmax. • Uncompetitive - binds to and stabilizes ES complex. Lowers Km; lowers Vmax.

Viruses come in many flavors • All contain nucleic acid and some protein • DNA or RNA • single-stranded or double-stranded • RNA viruses are positive sense strand, negative sense strand, or retroviruses • reverse transcriptase • Protein Coat protects nucleic acid and mediates binding to host cell. • Viroids have no protein coat
Virus life histories • Typically host-cell specific, only replicating in a host • Lytic viruses escape by lysing and killing host • Lysogenic viruses live in host for long periods of time, continually releasing more virus • Typically, take over host transcription & translation machinery. • Capsids assembled in cytoplasm or PM
Prokaryotes • No nucleus or organelles • Circular DNA • complex biochemistry • Rods, cocci, spirochete.
More prokaryotes • Typically reproduce by simple fission. • Quite rapid
Fungi • Multicellular forms make mycelia and hyphae • Cell walls of chitin • Generally haploid throughout most of life cycle
Fungal diversity • Ascomycota: yeasts and mildews • meiosis produces spores held in asci or sacs • Basidiomycota: Club fungi, mushrooms. • haploid hyphae conjugate to form dikaryons • Diploids form in basidia to produce haploid spores • Zygomycota: Molds • hyphae lack septa = multinucleate
