Cards

Term
Organic Chemistry
Definition
Organic molecules, CHNOPS
Term
Thermodynamics
Definition
heat, energy and their interconversion, the study of E transfer
Term
entropy
Definition
degree of disorder (S)
Term
enthalpy
Definition
amount of E in a mole (H)
Term
2nd law of thermodynamics
Definition
entropy of any system increases, tendancy towards entropy
Term
1st law of Thermodynamics
Definition
conversion of E, E is neither created nor destroyed
Term
anabolism
Definition
E used to construct complex moles (anabolic steroids)
Term
Will a rx occur (think thermodynamics)
Definition
depends of ^H and ^S
Term
^S = (equation)
Definition
^S = S(B) - S (A), B has more entropy so (more broken car) will have +S
Term
^H = H(B) - H(A)
Definition
A has more E, so -^H (takes more E to fix car...)
Term
Measuring H in real life
Definition
Bomb calorimetry; burn compound, measure heat released
Term
Hess's Law
Definition
E released from a compound is constant and independant of path; In other words, all that matters is the reaction and the products, and not how you got there, so bomb calorimetry has same E transfer as glycolysis
Term
Measuring ^S?
Definition
Impractical- so measure ^G,
Term
^G
Definition
Gibbs Free E- measures useful work obtainable from closed system
Term
^G= (equation)
Definition
=^H - T^S
Term
If ^G = +
Definition
rx will not occur spontaniously
Term
If ^G = -
Definition
Rx will proceed spontaniously
Term
^G knot primed = (equation)
Definition
= -RTlnKeq (R= gas constant, 8.318 J/mol/K, T = K, Keq uses [A] and [B], and pH)
Term
How does unfavorable rx proceed?
Definition
add E, couple them to favorable reactions (to get to Santa Margarita, couple getting there with combustion rx, by putting gas in car)
Term
draw ATP
Definition
Term
High E phosphate bonds
Definition
ATP- first 2 phosphates release 30.5 kJ/mol
Term
-^G rx occurs how?
Definition
Spontaneously, but maybe not at fast rate (sugar will eventually burn/combust)
Term
To keep skittles from combusting or gasoline from singing eyebrows as pump out of pump, what do we have???
Definition
Activation E, a barrier!!!
Term
Life occurs b/c of what?
Definition
Weak bonds and transient reactions that happen, then unhappen, so we can take our clothes off and meet new H's- weak bonds = ionic, H bonds, Van Der Waals, Hydrophobic interactions
Term
Strong bonds
Definition
covalent bonds; share e-'s
Term
H bonds
Definition
inta b/w dipole momets
Term
Van Der Waals forces
Definition
weak, transient inta based on induced dipole moments
Term
hydrophobic inta
Definition
weak, rather be together than with polar moles
Term
order of decreasing strength bonds
Definition
covalent, ionic, H bonds, Van Der Walls, Hydrohobic intera
Term
Fx of proteins (6)
Definition
enzymes, structural, signaling, transporters, DNA binding proteins, carriers
Term
1' p structure
Definition
order which aas are linked together in polypeptide chain
Term
aa structure
Definition
Term
peptide bond forming
Definition
hrough condesnsation rx (aa example)
Term
DNA into p
Definition
DNA -- mRNA -- protein
Term
2' structure
Definition
3D protein structure, weak bonding (h-bonding, vanderwaals, etc) *a-helix, b-sheet, random coil
Term
3' structure of p
Definition
interaction of 2' structures to form overall 3-D structure, whole polypetptide chain (ionic, hydrophobic bonds)
Term
disulfide bridge
Definition
part of 3' structure, covalent bonds form, as found in curly hair
Term
4' structure
Definition
multiple 3' structures
Term
enzymes
Definition
speed rx, decrease activation E
Term
isoenzymes
Definition
2 or more ezs that catalyze same rx, , found diff places, allow for compartmentalization
Term
Ez cofactors
Definition
chemical teeth (of abomnible showman), stabalize ez structure
Term
transition state
Definition
physical structure of substrate that it needs to be so it can turn into the product
Term
ez binds to substrate
Definition
makes changes, coverts it to transition state
Term
how to increase Vmax
Definition
add E
Term
Km
Definition
affinity constant, [S] that corresponds to 1/2 Vmax
Term
Michaelis-Menton eq
Definition
V = Vmax[S]/Km + [S]... km = concentration where velocity is 1/2 the max
Term
lineweaver-burke plot
Definition
Term
Factors affecting ez kinetics
Definition
amt of ez, post translational modification of ez, (covalent modification w. phosphorylation, proteolitic cleavage), environmental conditions, amount of S, inhibitors, allosteric regulators
