I. BioenergeticsTerminology: Bioenergetics Energy trransduction Biochemical thermodynamics Central theme: Understanding the mechanism of ATP synthesis through the oxidation of substrates (Nicholls) Specificity: Describes the transfer and utilization of energy in biologic systems (Lippincott)
-
G = H - TS
T = absolute temperatureH = enthalpy, heatS = degree of organization of atoms involved in reaction G = available useful energy Gibbs free energy (G) and Gibbs change of free energy (G)
-
In the human body, T is constantThus: H (enthalpy) changes are negligible and principally associated withchemical bonds known as Internal Energy (Chemical Energy).Meaning: H = G Hence: G = E - TS (Lange, Exam. & Board Review)
Note: Nonbiologic systems utilize heat energy to perform work. Biologic systems are isothermic and utilize chemical energy for living processes.
-
Sign of G predicts the direction of a reactionG = negative: Reaction is exergonic Proceeds with net loss of free energy Reaction goes spontaneously G = positive: Reaction is endergonic Proceeds only with net gain of energy
G = zero: Sistem is at equilibrium No net change takes place
Exothermic and endothermic reactions involve H as variable.

High-energy phosphates are involved in coupling processes

-
ATP = energy currency of the cell
Other nucleoside triphosphates: UTP, GTP, CTPMay take part in phosphorylations in the cell transferring free energy.

II. Biologic Oxidation
Oxidation processes in living systems - Catalyzed by class I enzymes: Oxidoreductases
-
Definition: Oxidation = Loss of electrons
Reduction = Gain of electrons Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions are reversible

Oxidoreductases (Harper 26th)
1. Oxidases: A Containing Cu B As flavoproteins
2. Dehydrogenases: A. NAD+ or NADP+ as coenzyme B Flavin as coenzyme C Cytochromes (Fe-porphyrin as coenzyme)
3. Hydroperoxidases: A Peroxidase B Catalase 4. Oxygenases: A Dioxigenase B Monooxigenase
-
1. Oxidases: - Remove 2 protons (H+) from substrate and pass to oksigen - Generate H2O or H2O2 Two groups of oxidases: A Containing Cu Example: Cytochrome a3 (cyt a3) also known as cyt aa3 Is a cytochrome oxidase Terminal compound of the respiratory chain in mitochondria B. Flavoproteins, contain FMN or FAD Ex. : L-aminoacid oxidase Xanthine oxidase Aldehyde dehydrogenase
-
Dehydrogenases cannot use O2 as H or e- acceptor
A. NAD+ or NADP+ as coenzyme Generally: NAD+-linked dehydrogenase in energy transduction reaction
NADP+-linked (as NADPH) dehydrogenase in reductive synthesis
-
B. Flavin as coenzyme Tightly bound to apoenzyme (prosthetic group) Linked to e- transport of the respiratory chain
C. Cytochromes Fe-containing hemoproteins In the resp. chain: cyt b, c1, c, a (and cyt a3 which is an oxidase) Cyt also in endoplasmic reticulum (P450 and P5), in plant cells, bacteria and yeast.
-
Hydroperoxidases use H2O2 as substrate
A. Peroxidase reduces peroxides using various e- acceptors H2O2 + AH2 2 H2O + A
In erythrocytes and other tissues:
H2O2 + 2 GSH GSSG + H2O GSH = Reduced gluthatione Glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine (a tripeptide) -SH = Reducing group of cysteine residue
PeroxidaseGluthatione peroxidase
-
CatalaseHemoprotein with 4 heme groups
2 H2O2 2 H2O + O2
Found in: Blood, bone marrow, mucous membranes Kidney, liver Catalase destroys peroxides formed by oxidases
Catalase
-
OxygenasesCatalyze direct transfer & incorporation of oxygen into asubstrate molecule. A. Dioxygenases Incorporate both atoms of molecular oxygen into the substrate.
A + O2 AO2
Example: Homogentisate dioxygenase (oxidase)
-
Monooxygenases (Mixed-Function Oxidases, Hydroxylases) Incorporate only one O atom into substrate. The other O atom is reduced to water.
AH + O2 ZH2 AOH + H2O + Z
Examples: Detoxication of many drugs Hydroxylation of steroids
-
Free radicals
Transfer of a single e to O O (superoxide anion)Can damage membranes, DNA, etc.
Destructive effects Amplified by: Free radical chain reaction Removed by: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the reactions

-
Cardiac muscle has high ATP demand.
Higher content of mitochondria than mosttissues.
High content of Electron Transport Chainsproteins: ATP synthase, ATP-ADP translocase, TCA cycle.
-
Also:
High content of creatine kinase as energybuffer and energy shuttle (as well as brain) Heart (and brain) sensitive to ischemia andanoxia decreased ATP production
-
Consequence of decreased ATP:
- Ion influx (Na+, Ca2+)- Swelling of tissue
Cardiac mitochondria can sequester Ca2+Effect:Low amt stimulates TCAHigh amt activates phopholipase degrades membrane lipids
