2 What does a cell need to do? propagate itself (and its genetic program) reproduction transform energy communicate with other cells and with the environment maintain an ordered, stable system: growth and development evolve 2

3 The Arabidopsis thaliana (weedy plant) genome project was recently completed. Here is a breakdown of the functional analysis of the genes discovered in the genome of this organism. Note that a large proportion of the genes are unclassifed -- meaning no one knows yet what they do for the organism. Nature 408: 796 Dec. 14,

4 The Cell s impressive metabolic feat: An chemist carrying out an organic synthesis rarely runs more than one reaction in a single reaction vessel This procedure is essential to prevent side reactions and to optimize the yield of the desired product A living cell carries out thousands of reactions simultaneously Each reaction sequence is precisely controlled by the cell so that intermediates and products accumulate to the desired levels (see also pg 83 of text)** Reactions of great mechanistic complexity and stereochemical selectivity proceed smoothly under mild conditions These mild conditions: 1 atm pressure, moderate temperature and a ph near neutrality ** The cell controls its metabolism by controlling the level of activity of enzymes that participate in each reaction or reaction sequence 4

5 A QUICK REVIEW OF FREE ENERGY The molecules of a living cell possess kinetic energy in their vibrations, rotations, and movement through space chemical energy stored in the bonds between individual atoms Free energy (G) measures the energy of a molecule that could in principle be used to do useful work at constant temperature (as in a living cell) The first law of thermodynamics says? 5

6 The first law of thermodynamics says that the energy of the universe is constant: energy can be transferred or transformed, but it can neither be created or destroyed We will spend the next two weeks discussing how cells interconvert chemical, electromagnetic, mechanical and osmotic (electropotential gradient) forms of energy 6

7 The second law of thermodynamics says? 7

8 OLDer VERSION The second law of thermodynamics says that the disorder of the universe can only increase: every energy transfer or transformation increase the entropy of the universe NEWer VERSION The second law of thermodynamics says that The total entropy of a system and its surroundings always increases for a spontaneous (energetically favorable) process TEXT VERSION The second law of thermodynamics says that in the universe, or in any isolated system*, the degree of disorder (entropy) can only increase [*a collection of matter thatt is completely isolated from the rest of the universe] TEXT RESTATEMENT Systems will change spontaneously towards those arrangements that have the greatest probability (disorder more probably than order) (see coin example on pg 85 of text) 8

9 What Is Entropy, REALLY? Entropy measures the spontaneous dispersal of energy: how much energy is spread out in a process, or how widely spread out it becomes at a specific temperature. In chemistry the energy that entropy measures as dispersing is motional energy, the translational and vibrational and rotational energy of molecules [Figure 1 of ] 9

10 Consider the reaction A B ΔG = the free energy of the product B minus the free energy of the reactant A If ΔG is negative, the product B has less free energy than the reactant A the reaction is exergonic and therefore will occur without input of energy in other words, a negative ΔG means that the reaction is energetically favorable (or spontaneous) 10

11 ΔG depends on the intrinsic character of the reacting molecules ΔG of a chemical reaction is determined by two forces: 1. the tendancy to achieve the most stable bonding state (number and kinds of covalent and noncovalent bonds broken and formed) 2. the tendancy to achieve the highest degree of randomness aka energy distribution (entropy) A chemical reaction occurring in an isolated cell at constant temperature and volume can produce disorder in two ways: 1. Changes of bond energy of the reacting molecules can cause heat to be released (heat disorders the environment) 2. The reaction can decrease the amount of order in the reacting molecules such as: breaking a polymer into monomer units disrupting an interaction that prevents bond rotations 11

12 Consider the reaction D F If ΔG is positive, the product (F) has more free energy than the reactant D the reaction is endergonic or energetically unfavorable (and will not occur spontaneously) because the second law of thermodynamics states that a chemical reaction will only proceed if it results in a net increase in the disorder of the universe, the cell uses exergonic reactions to drive endergonic reactions by coupling the two types of reactions 12

13 What example of a coupled reaction have we seen already? 13

14 KNOW THIS WELL AND FOREVER SPONTANEOUS MEANS ENERGETICALLY FAVORABLE SPONTANEOUS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE REACTION WILL OCCUR WITHOUT A CATALYST ΒΟΤΗ ΤYPES OF REACTIONS REQUIRE CATALYSTS 14

15 KINETICS How fast a reaction occurs is independent of the ΔG: note the activation energy required for both reaction ((previous page) In the cell catalysts are required for both exergonic and endergonic reactions to proceed The free energy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway by which the reaction occurs 15

16 Metabolism sum total of all chemical reactions in the cell from the Greek word for change (meta) Metabolism serves two fundamentally different purposes: 1. the transformation of energy to drive vital functions 2. synthesis of biological molecules 16

17 Catabolism oxidative degradation of complex nutrient molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins characteristically exergonic or energy yielding energy is often captured in the form of ATP Anabolism the synthetic processes in which the varied and complex biomolecules (including the macromolecules) are assembled from simpler precursors involves energy requiring or endergonic reactions the precursors needed for anabolic reactions are found among the products of catabolism 17

18 18

19 Cells use enzymes to catalyze the controlled oxidation of organic molecules in small steps through a sequence of reactions that allows useful energy to be harvested HUH? What does this mean? 19

20 Cells harvest energy from organic compounds via a series of redox reactions REDOX REACTIONS OXIDATION/REDUCTION: any reaction in which electrons are transferred from one substance to another OXIDATION: removal of electrons REDUCTION: addition of electrons ELECTON DONOR [REDUCING AGENT]: a substance that can donate electrons to other substance, becoming oxidized in the process ELECTON ACCEPTOR [OXIDIZING AGENT]: a substance that can accept electrons from other substance, becoming reduced in the process When a molecule picks up an electron (e - ), it often picks up a proton (H + ) at the same time (protons are freely available in water) A + e - + H + = AH This reduction is a hydrogenation reaction Dehydrogenation reactions are oxidation reactions 20

21 COMPARISON OF THE STATE OF REDUCTION IN CARBON ATOMS WHAT IS THE MOST OXIDIZED FORM OF CARBON THE MOST REDUCED FORM? 21

22 The carbon atom of methane can be converted to that of carbon dioxide by successive removal of its hydrogen atoms. With each step, electrons are shifted away from the carbon and the carbon becomes progressively more oxidized. Each of these steps is energetically favorable inside a cell. 22

23 REDOX REACTIONS ARE EXERGONIC (RELEASE ENERGY) WHEN ELECTRONS MOVE CLOSER TO ELECTRONEGATIVE ATOMS ELECTRONS LOSE POTENTIAL ENERGY WHEN THEY MOVE CLOSE TO ELECTRONEGATIVE ATOMS A reduction is occurring if the number of C-H bonds increases An oxidation is occurring if the number of C-H bonds decreases In the presence of O 2, the most energetically stable form of carbon is CO 2 In the presence of O 2, the most energetically stable form of hydrogen is H 2 O 23

24 Cells use enzymes to catalyze the controlled oxidation of organic molecules in small steps through a sequence of reactions that allows useful energy to be harvested The controlled, stepwise oxidation of sugar in a cell, compared with ordinary burning (re: toasting marshmellows). In the cell, enzymes catalyze oxidation via a series of small steps in which free energy is transferred to carrier molecules -- most often ATP and NADH. At each step, an enzyme controls the reaction by reducing the activation energy barrier. 24

25 ATP = ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE The removal of one phosphate requires the breaking of one bond (purple) and results in a large release of energy The phosphate bonds in ATP are said to be high energy because they have a large negative ΔG of hydrolysis The formation of ATP from ADP and P i is an endergonic process that is coupled to the exergonic oxidation of glucose 25

26 ATP is an example of a metastable compound: thermodynamically favored to break down (hydrolysis of phosphates is exergonic) but does so only very slowly unless the reaction is catalyzed this is important because the cell needs to be able to control the release of energy from ATP biological polymers are also metastable compounds there is nothing chemically unusual about the bonds between the phosphates in ATP: they are considered high energy because the large negative delta G of hydrolysis we will discuss why hydrolysis of ATP releases lots of energy in a later lecture 26

27 NADH (reduced form) is a carrier molecular The part of the molecular that participates in redox reaction is shown in purple This is one of a number of electron couriers that you will meet: these molecules pick up and carry electrons around -- always want to unload them on somebody else NAD = nicotine adenine dinucleotide 27

28 The reduced NADH is at a higher potential energy state than NAD+ because the pyrimidine ring is less stable when it is reduced The reduction of NAD + to NADH is an endergonic process that is coupled to the exergonic oxidation of glucose 28

29 This flowchart shows the major steps involved in breaking down glucose and converting its chemical energy into the chemical energy in the phosphate bonds of ATP in aerobic organisms red= source of carbon atoms (originally from glucose) blue= redox agents green = energy-currency molecules 29

30 GLYCOLYSIS : a series if chemical reactions that oxidize glucose to produce pyruvate and ATP: used by all organisms (eukaryotic and prokaryotic) as part of fermentation or cellular respiration It is probably the most ancient of metabolic processes, having evolved prior to the appearance of abundant O 2 in the atmosphere (more about that later) All organisms are capable of glucose degradation and ATP synthesis via glycolysis 30

31 AT EACH EXERGONIC STEP, ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO EITHER ATP OR NADH OR FADH 2 Basic steps in glycolysis adding phosphates to energize the sugar oxidation to make the high energy molecules NADH and ATP note: pyruvate end-product is more oxidized than glucose, but not fully oxidized: glycolysis does not efficiently harvest the energy in glucose GLYCOLYSIS ANIMATOIN 31

32 ENERGY RELEASED BY OXIDATIVE, EXERGONIC (EXERGONIC) STEPS IN GLYCOLYSIS IS CAPTURED IN THE FORM OF THE HIGH ENERGY MOLECULES NADH AND ATP The formation of ATP from ADP and P i is an endergonic process that is coupled to the exergonic oxidation of glucose The reduction of NAD + to NADH is an endergonic process that is coupled to the exergonic oxidation of glucose 32

35 AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC ORGANISMS One basic metabolic distinction among organisms is whether or not they can use O 2 as an electron acceptor in energy producing pathways AEROBES: CAN USE O 2 Obligate Aerobe: O 2 is obligatory for life ANAEROBES: CAN SUBSIST WITHOUT O 2 Facultative Anaerobe: can adapt to anaerobic conditions by substituting other electron acceptors for O 2 (E. coli) Obligate Anaerobe: cannot use O 2 and are poisoned by it 35

36 FERMENTATION: an anaerobic biological reaction process FERMENTATION: THE ANAEROBIC FATE OF PYRUVATE The three common metabolic fates of pyruvate generated by glycolysis: 1. Under aerobic conditions, the pyruvate is completely oxidized via the citric acid cycle to CO 2 and H 2 O [NADH acts as a high energy compound] 2. Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate must be converted to a reduced end product in order to reoxidize the NADH produced by the GAPDH reaction alcoholic fermentation: in yeast, pyruvate is converted to ethanol + CO 2 [free energy of NADH oxidation is dissipated as heat] in muscle cells, under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is reduced to lactate [free energy of NADH oxidation is dissipated as heat] 36
