Term
Finding Ionization ratio at a specific pH
Definition
Ka/[H+] = [OH-]/[H+] =# 1:# is ratio
For basic
Ka/[H+] = [NH2]/[NH3+] = # => 1/# 1:1/# is ratio
Term
Calculating Charge at pH
Definition
When acids give up a H add a -1 when base gains an H add a +1

NH2 pka = 9.69 and pH below that it will be NH3+ = +1

COOH pka 2.34 and pH above it will give off its H COO- add -1
Term
Bohr Effect
Definition

The pH of blood to promote/discourage oxygen holding ability of hemoglobin.

 

Muscles produce CO2 which increases acidity. The Increased Acidity caused the release of O2

Term
Chirality of Amino Acids
Definition

COOH

H2N+H         

R     

 

N and H switch sides

Term

Polypeptide Bonding

 

How to write

Definition

O- of COOH and the NH3+ bind to form

 

C-OH part and NH2-C part disapear to make

 

H

C-N-C

 

Write

 

NH3->COOH

Term
Aldose & Ketose
Definition

Aldose: Monosaccharides with an aldehyde group

 

Ketose: Monosaccharides with a Ketone group

Term
D+L Saccharides Fischer Projection
Definition
The Bottom most (closest to CH2OH) switches places
Term
Alpha and Beta Glycosidic Bonds
Definition

Alpha = opposite side C1

Beta = Same Side C4

Term
Alpha Helix
Definition

- One ploypeptide per turn

- Peptide bond is planar and rigid

- C=O is hydrogen Bonded to N-H for AA away

- The bonds are PARALLEL to the axis

-ProLine prevents Alpha helix becuase N isnt free for H bond

Term
Beta Pleated Sheet
Definition

-Polypeptide chains run next to each other parallel or anti parallel C-N   or C-N

                        C-N       N-C  

 

-Can be diff parts of 1 chain or 2 chains

 

-R group alternate above and below the plane

 

-C=O and N-H hydrogen bonds and perpendicular to sheet

Term
Collagen Triple Helix
Definition

-Called Tropocollagen

 

- 3 polypeptide chaines wrapped around each other

 

-every 3rd AA is GLY

 

-Alternate X-Pro-Gly and X-Hyp-Gly

Term

Fibrous Proteins

Vs

Globular Proteins

Definition

Fib: Long Rod, very strong, no folding

 

Glob: Sphereical, lots of folding

Term
Myoglobin
Definition

-takes O2 from Hb

 

- two polar histidines that coordinate the Heme group

 

-Fe(II) of heme has 6 coordination sites, 4 interact with N atoms, 1 N of His, and 1 O2

 

-1 hist is a covalent tether for heme group

 

- 1 hist acts as a lid to prevent CO2 from bind straight on, weak angle allows removal, straight would be permanent

 

-CO2 binds to Heme better that O2

Term
Hemoglobin
Definition

-2 alpha and 2 beta chains

 

-each chain has 1 heme group so it can carry 4 O2

 

-O2 Binds cooperatively, 1st is hardest but it makes it easier for the next O2 to bind and so on

 

-goes through conformational change to bind O2

 

-Uses BPG to bind and transport Oxygen

-BPG lowers affinity so it can get rid of it

Term
Fetal Hemoglobin
Definition

Higher affinity for O2 the adult Hemoglobin

 

-Binds less strongly to BPG which means tighter O2 binding

 

-Sereine replaces Histadine

Term

Allosteric Change

 

Denaturization

Definition

Allo: Temporary Protein shape change

 

Denature: Permanent shape change

Term
endergonic vs exergonic
Definition

ender: gives of less energy than it consumes

 

Exer: gives of more energy than it consumes

Term
Enzyme rate equation
Definition

A+B-> C+D

 

Rate=k[A]1 * [B]1

Term
Chymotrypsin
Definition

Cut polypeptides into smaller pieces

Active form of chymotrypsinogen

seperate pepetides with Cysteine S-S bonds

 

Term

Km

 

equation

Definition

how tightly an enzyme binds to a substrate

Lower number = tighter bond

0 = permanent

 

Km = k-1 + K2 / K1

Term

Lineweaver-Burk Plot

eq

y intercept

x intercept

x and y axis

Definition

1/v = Km/Vmax * 1/[S] + 1/Vmax

 

y intercept = 1/Vmax

x intercept = -1/Kmax

 

x axis = 1/[S]

y = 1/V

Term

Competitive Inhibition

Burk graph

Definition

- inhibitor binds to active site preventing substrate and enzyme from binding

 

LOWERS Km but Vmax stays the same so slope gets steeper X intercept moves closer to 0

 

 

slope = Km/Vmax * (1 + [I]/Ki)

 

new Km = -1/Km * (1 + [I]/Ki)

 

Term
Noncompetitive inhibition
Definition

inhibitors bind elsewhere on the enzyme

 

Vmax decreases (y intercept gets higher) Km stays the same

 

New Vmax = 1/Vmax * (1 + [I]/Ki)

 

Slope = slope = Km/Vmax * (1 + [I]/Ki)

Term

Allosteric inhibitor

2 types

Definition

Changes shape to the protein

 

does not change Km or Vmax

 

Homotropic: Allosteric interaction occur when several identical molecules bind to a protein (O2 and Hb)

 

Heterotropic: Allosteric interaction occur when several different molecules bind to a protein

Term

R and T

Concerted Model

Sequential Model

Definition

R= active

T= deactive

 

Concerted: Allosteric activation binds to R and stabilizes it, more R or Allosteric Inhibitor binds to T and Stabilizes it, less R.

 

Sequential: Inhibitor or activator induces a conformational change make the active site more active or less

Term

ΔG>0

ΔG<0

Definition

ΔG<0 exergonic, spontaneous, warm

ΔG>0 endergonic, nonspontaneous, cold
