Study Notes
Metabolic Pathways
- Metabolic pathways are a series of linked enzymatic reactions
- Pathways are irreversible to ensure proper directionality
- Catabolic and anabolic pathways must differ to allow independent control
Committed Steps
- Every pathway has a committed step (often a rate-limiting step)
- This step is a key regulation point for the entire pathway
Regulation
- Regulation ensures metabolic pathways don't run uselessly or wastefully
- Pathways are tightly controlled, dictated by physiological status of a cell
ATP
- ATP is the energy currency for the cell
- ATP is a nucleotide with 3 phosphate groups
- Phosphate groups are connected via phosphoanhydride bonds
- ATP hydrolysis releases large amounts of energy for endergonic reactions
In Vitro vs. In Vivo Free Energy
- Free energy in experiments (in vitro) often differs than free energy in living systems (in vivo)
- In vivo free energy is affected by concentration of substances, pH and ionic strength
Phosphorylation
- A type of covalent modification of proteins
- Phosphorylation involves adding a phosphate group to a protein
- This modification affects the proteins ability.
Homoallostery
- Subunit interactions affect each other, this determines a cooperative binding of a substrate to subunits
- This affects proteins with multiple subunits, such as hemoglobin
Heteroallostery
- The subunits do not affect one another
- Cooperative, sigmoidal curve
- Non-cooperative, hyperbolic curve
###Zymogens
- Inactive form of enzymes
- Synthesized in inactive form in the pancreas
- Activation is irreversible to avoid uncontrolled enzyme action.
###Oxidative Phosphorylation
- The third stage of metabolic oxidation of substrates
- NADH and FADH2 are reoxidized by electron transport proteins in inner mitochondrial membrane
- ATP is synthesized (energy is produced for the cell)
Protein Complexes
- Complexes I-IV shuttle electrons
- Complex V is responsible for ATP synthesis
- Protein complexes are crucial in the cellular respiration process, shuttling electrons and generating electrochemical gradient
- Complexes are bound by the inner mitochondrial membrane to maintain the electrochemical gradient.
