Essential Question What are the laws and principles of thermodynamics that allow
us to describe the flows and interchanges of heat, energy, andmatter in biochemical systems?
BSIC CONCEPT OF Temperature
Energy System
3.1 What Are the Basic Concepts of Thermodynamics? The system : the portion of the universe with which we are
concerned The surroundings : everything else Isolated system cannot exchange matter or energy Closed system can exchange energy Open system can exchange either or both
Figure 3.1 The characteristics of isolated, closed, and open systems. Isolated systemsexchange neither matter nor energy with their surroundings. Closed systems mayexchange energy, but not matter, with their surroundings. Open systems mayexchange either matter or energy with the surroundings.

The First Law The Total Energy of an IsolatedSystem is Conserved
E (or U) is the internal energy - a function that keeps track of heattransfer and work expenditure in the system
E is heat exchanged at constant volume E is independent of path E2 - E 1 = E = q + w q is heat absorbed BY the system w is work done ON the system Thus both q and w are positive when energy flows into a system
State Function- The E is dependant on the systemw = -PV
Enthalpy
Enthalpy a better function for constant pressure
H = E + PV If P is constant, H = q H is the heat absorbed at constant P Volume is approximately constant for biochemical reactions (in
solution) So H is approximately the same as E for biochemical reactions

Positive values of H would be expected for the breaking of hydrogen bondsas well as for the exposure of hydrophobic groups from the interior of anative, folded protein during the unfolding process. Such events raise theenergy of the solution.

The Second Law Systems Tend Toward Disorder and Randomness
Systems tend to proceed from ordered to disordered states
The entropy change for (system + surroundings) is unchanged inreversible processes and positive for irreversible processes
All processes proceed toward equilibrium - i.e., minimum potentialenergy
S= k ln W; S = k ln W final -k ln W initial ( W= microstate)
k is Boltzmanns constant (1.38x10 -23J/K)
A measure of disorder An ordered state is low entropy A disordered state is high entropy dSreversible = dq/T , dq= heat transferred, T = Temperature

Energy dispersion Entropy can be defined as S = k ln W And S = k ln W final k ln W initial Where W final and W initial are the final and initial number of
microstates of a system, and k is Boltzmann
s constant. Viewed in this way, entropy represents energy dispersion
the dispersion of energy among a large number of molecularmotions relatable to quantized states (microstates).
The definition of entropy above is engraved on the tombstoneof Ludwig Boltzmann in Vienna, Austria
If microstate is one ( i.e. no degree of freedoms, S= 0) dSreversible = dq/T
The Third Law Why Is
Absolute Zero
So Important?
The entropy of any crystalline, perfectly ordered substance mustapproach zero as the temperature approaches 0 K
At T = 0 K, entropy is exactly zero
For a constant pressure process (heat capacity Cp) :
C p = dH/dT

Free Energy
Hypothetical quantity - allows chemists to asses whether reactions will occur
G = H TS (H, enthalpy or total energy, S= entropy)
For any process at constant P and T : G = H - T S
If G = 0, reaction is at equilibrium
If G < 0, reaction proceeds as written (spontaneous backward
reaction) (Endergonic)
G > 0 , spontaneous reaction (Exergonic)
G and Go
- The Effect of Concentration on G
How can we calculate the free energy change for reactions not atstandard state? Consider a reaction: A + B C + D Then:
At equilibrium G = 0 and [C][D]/[A][B]= Keq G =-RT ln Keq G =--2.3 RT log 10 Keq
Keq = 10 -
G/2.3RT
Thus concentrations at other than 1 M will change the value of G This is Equation 3.13. It is used frequently throughout this text.
G = Go + RT ln

3.3 What is the Effect of pH on Standard State FreeEnergies?
A standard state of 1 M for H+ is not typical for biochemical reactions. It makes more sense to adopt a modified standard state i.e., 1 M for
all constituents except protons, for which the standard state is pH 7. This standard state is denoted with a superscript
For reactions in which H + is produced: G
= G
+ RT ln [H+] And for reactions in which H + is consumed:
G
= G
- RT ln [H+]
3.4 What Can Thermodynamic Parameters Tell Us AboutBiochemical Events?
A single thermodynamic parameter is not very useful Comparison of several thermodynamic parameters can
provide meaningful insights about a process Heat capacity values can be useful A positive heat capacity change for a process indicates that
molecules have acquired new ways to move (and thus to storeheat energy)
A negative heat capacity change means that the process hasresulted in less freedom of motion for the molecules involved

3.5 What are the Characteristics of High-EnergyBiomolecules?
Energy Transfer - A Biological Necessity
Energy acquired from sunlight or food must be used to driveendergonic (energy-requiring) processes in the organism
Two classes of biomolecules do this: Reduced coenzymes (NADH, FADH 2) High-energy phosphate compounds with free energy of
hydrolysis more negative than -25 kJ/mol
High-Energy Biomolecules
Table 3.3 is important
Note what's high - PEP and 1,3-BPG Note what's low - sugar phosphates, etc. Note what's in between - ATP Note difference (Figure 3.6) between overall free energy
change - noted in Table 3.3 - and the energy of activationfor phosphoryl-group transfer

Group Transfer Potentials Quantify the Reactivity of Functional Groups
Group transfer is analogous to ionization potential and reductionpotential. All are specific instances of free energy changes.
ATP
An Intermediate Energy Shuttle Device
PEP and 1,3-BPG are created in the course of glucose breakdown Their energy (and phosphates) are transferred to ADP to form ATP But ATP is only a transient energy carrier - it quickly passes its energy
to a host of energy-requiring processes

ATP Contains Two Pyrophosphate Linkages
Figure 3.7 ATP contains two pyrophosphatelinkages. The hydrolysis of phosphoric acidanhydrides is highly favorable.
Phosphoric Acid Anhydrides
How ATP does what it does
ADP and ATP are examples of phosphoric acid anhydrides Note the similarity to acyl anhydrides Large negative free energy change on hydrolysis is due to:
electrostatic repulsion stabilization of products by ionization and resonance entropy factors

Enol Phosphates
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) has the largest free energy of hydrolysis of any biomolecule
Formed by dehydration of 2-phospho-glycerate Hydrolysis of PEP yields the enol form of pyruvate - and
tautomerization to the keto form is very favorable
PEP Hydrolysis Yields -62.2 kJ /mol
Figure 3.11 PEP is produced by the enolase reaction and in turn drivesthe phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP in the pyruvate kinase reaction.

Enol Phosphates are Potent Phosphorylating Agents
Figure 3.12 Hydrolysis and subsequent tautomerizationaccount for the very large G of PEP.
Ionization States of ATP
ATP has four dissociable protons pK a values range from 0-1 to 6.95 Free energy of hydrolysis of ATP is relatively constant from pH 1 to
6, but rises steeply at high pH Since most biological reactions occur near pH 7, this variation is
usually of little consequence

Concentration Affects the Free Energy of Hydrolysis of ATP
Figure 3.17 The free energy of hydrolysis of ATP as a function of concentration at 38C, pH 7.0.
The Effect of Concentration
Recall that free energy changes are concentration- dependent So the free energy available from ATP hydrolysis depends on
concentration
We will use the value of 30.5 kJ/mol for the standard free energyof hydrolysis of ATP
At non-standard-state conditions (in a cell, for example), the G isdifferent
Equation 3.13 allows the calculation of G - be sure you can use itproperly
In typical cells, the free energy change for ATP hydrolysis is typically50 kJ/mol

3.7 Why Are Coupled Processes Important to LivingThings?
Many reactions of cells and organisms run against theirthermodynamic potential that is, in the direction of positive G
Examples synthesis of ATP, creation of ion gradients These processes are driven in the thermodynamically unfavorable
direction via coupling with highly favorable processes
3.7 Why Are Coupled Processes Important to LivingThings?

3.8 What is the Daily Human Requirement for ATP?
The average adult human consumes approximately 11,700 kJof food energy per day
Assuming thermodynamic efficiency of 50%, about 5860 kJ of this energy ends up in form of ATP
Assuming 50 kJ of energy required to synthesize one mole of ATP, the body must cycle through 5860/50 or 117 moles of ATP per day
This is equivalent to 65 kg of ATP per day
The typical adult human body contains 50 g of ATP/ADP Thus each ATP molecule must be recycled nearly 1300 times
per day
ATP Changes K eq by 10 8
Consider a process: A B Compare this to A + ATP B + ADP + Pi Assuming typical cellular concentrations of ATP, ADP and P i,
and using the cellular free energy change for ATP hydrolysis, itcan be shown that coupling ATP hydrolysis to the reaction of A B changes the equilibrium ratio of B/A by more than 200million-fold

3.9 What Are Reduction Potentials?
How Are Reduction Potentials Used to Calculate Free Energy Changesfor Oxidation-Reduction Reactions?
High o' indicates a strong tendency to be reduced Crucial equation: Go' = n o' o' = o'(acceptor) - o'(donor)
Electrons are donated by the half reaction with the more negativereduction potential and are accepted by the reaction with the morepositive reduction potential: o ' positive, Go' negative
If a given reaction is written so the reverse is true, then the o' willbe a negative number and Go' will be positive
