    Study Notes

    Enzyme Reactions and Classes

    • Enzymes facilitate various biochemical reactions categorized into classes based on their mechanisms.
    • Substrates can undergo various transformations, often involving additions or removals of specific molecules.

    Types of Reactions

    • Dehydratase lyases remove water molecules from substrates.
    • Decarboxylase lyases remove carboxyl groups from substrates.
    • Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between molecules, leading to oxidation or reduction.

    Enzyme Classes

    • Oxidoreductases catalyze redox reactions involving electron transfer.
    • Transferases are involved in group transfer reactions between molecules.
    • Hydrolases are responsible for hydrolysis reactions, breaking bonds with water.
    • Lyases catalyze elimination or addition reactions without using ATP for bond formation.
    • Isomerases facilitate the rearrangement of molecular structures.

    Krebs Cycle Insights

    • In the Krebs cycle, oxaloacetate is formed through the oxidation of certain substrates.
    • NADH is produced when specific substrates undergo reduction within the cycle.

    Molecule Dynamics

    • Nucleophilic substitutions involve the attack of a nucleophile at an electrophilic site.
    • Disaccharide and DNA formations involve specific nucleophiles, electrophiles, and leaving groups that facilitate bond creation.
    • Triglycerides form through reactions involving transferase enzymes that handle specific group transfers.

    Functional Groups and Biomolecules

    • UDP (uridine diphosphate) is a type of nucleotide involved in various metabolic reactions relevant to carbohydrate metabolism.
    • Understanding functional roles of atoms in biomolecules is crucial for grasping biochemical processes.
