Study Notes
Bioenergetics and Phosphoryl Group Transfers
- Williard Gibbs developed the concept of ∆G as the measure of spontaneity in chemical reactions
- Amino acids are building blocks of proteins, and their synthesis from amino acids to proteins is an endergonic process
- ATP hydrolysis is highly exergonic, releasing energy
- The actual free energy of hydrolysis of ATP in human erythrocytes can be calculated using the concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi
- Phosphoryl group transfers involving ATP are highly exergonic reactions
- Large, negative free energy changes in hydrolysis reactions occur due to bond strain relief, ionization, isomerization, and resonance stabilization in the products
- Phosphoryl group transfers play a crucial role in muscle contraction and movement of enzymes along DNA
- "High-Energy" compounds like ATP and "Low-Energy" compounds like ADP are involved in coupling highly exergonic reactions
- The ∆G’° values of sequential reactions are additive, allowing for the calculation of the overall energy change in a series of reactions
