Study Notes
Overview of Bioenergetics
- Focuses on energy transfer and utilization in biological systems.
- Considers only initial and final energy states in reactions, predicting process feasibility.
Free Energy Change (ΔG)
- Two varieties: ΔG for predicting reaction direction and ΔG° for standard state energy change.
- Negative ΔG indicates spontaneous reaction (exergonic); positive ΔG implies non-spontaneous reaction.
Relation of ΔG in Reactions
- ΔG of forward and reverse reactions are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
- Concentration of reactants/products affects ΔG, with equilibrium achieved at ΔG = 0.
- Standard Free Energy Change (ΔG°) equals ΔG under specific conditions (1 mol/L concentration).
ATP as an Energy Carrier
- ATP hydrolysis couples with endergonic reactions to make them feasible.
- High-energy phosphate bonds in ATP yield ΔG° of -7300 cal/mol.
- Other high-energy compounds possess even greater transfer potential than ATP.
Electron Transport Chain
- Utilizes molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor.
- Involves oxidation of fuels and transfers electrons through multiple protein complexes.
Impact of Ischemia on Myocardial Metabolism
- Cessation of blood flow leads to anaerobic glycolysis, producing limited ATP (1/10 of aerobic).
- Increased metabolic products and osmotic pressure result in cell swelling and impaired membranes.
- Clinical indicators include elevation of CK-MB and lactic acid, reflecting ATP depletion and acidosis.
Treatment and Management
- Timely intervention (within 4 hours) is crucial; irreversible damage noted by 6 hours.
- Treatment options include streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) for clot management.
- Recommendations post-treatment: cholesterol management and cessation of smoking.
