CELLULAR METABOLISM BIO 137 Anatomy & Physiology I Metabolism • The total of all chemical reactions in an organism that are necessary to maintain life • Includes synthesis and breakdown of molecules • These reactions are usually stepwise and are called metabolic pathways • 2 Processes in Metabolism • Catabolism • Anabolism Metabolic Pathways • Catabolism • Breakdown of larger molecules through Hydrolysis • Exergonic (energy can be used to drive anabolic pathways) • Example: oxidation (breakdown) of glucose in cellular respiration Metabolic Pathways • Anabolism • Construction of larger molecules (polymers) from monomers through Dehydration • Endergonic – requires energy • Example: building a polypeptide chain and protein from amino acids Metabolic Pathways • Reactant(s) → Product(s) • Stepwise • Each step in a pathway is catalyzed by a specific enzyme • Enzymes are protein catalysts • A substrate is what an enzyme acts on • Each enzyme is specific for a substrate Enzyme 1 A Enzyme 3 D C B Reaction 1 Starting molecule Enzyme 2 Reaction 2 Reaction 3 Product Activation Energy, EA • In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken in reactants, requiring an initial energy investment • EA – amount of energy needed to break bonds in reactants • EA is usually heat from surroundings Enzymes • Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up the rate of a reaction without being consumed • Enzymes are necessary because most reactions proceed very slowly and metabolism would be hindered • A single enzyme can catalyze thousands of reactions a second Enzyme-Substrate Binding • Enzymes are PROTEINS with specific 3-dimensional conformations (shape) • Shape of enzyme determines function (what substrate it will bind) • Active site – region of an enzyme that binds a substrate • Substrate ‘fits’ active site, forming enzyme-substrate complex • Lock and key model • In this form, enzyme converts substrate to product** Catalytic Cycle of an Enzyme 1 Substrates enter active site; enzyme changes shape so its active site embraces the substrates (induced fit). Substrates Enzyme-substrate complex 6 Active site is available for two new substrate molecules. Enzyme 5 Products are Released. Products 2 Substrates held in active site by weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds. 3 Active site (and R groups o its amino acids) can lower EA and speed up a reaction by • acting as a template for substrate orientation, • stressing the substrates and stabilizing the transition state, • providing a favorable microenvironment, • participating directly in the catalytic reaction. 4 Substrates are Converted into Products. Enzyme Activity is affected by Environment • Enzymes have optimal conditions under which they work • Optimal conditions favor correct conformation • Any physical or chemical condition that affects an enzyme’s 3-dimensional shape can affect enzyme activity • Temperature, pH, chemicals • These conditions can change protein conformation = Denaturation • Makes an enzyme inactive WHY DO WE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT ENZYMES? Enzyme regulation is vital to the control of metabolism. Metabolic Regulation • Metabolism is controlled by regulation of enzyme activity 1. Alter gene expression of enzyme 2. Regulate enzymes already present in a cell (Allosteric Regulation) Energy • Energy is defined as the capacity to do work • Includes kinetic energy and potential energy • Energy can be transformed from one form to another • Energy is used to fuel cellular work Forms of Energy • Kinetic Energy • Energy of motion • Light (photosynthesis), heat (random movement of atoms and molecules), Pool cue • Potential Energy (PE) • Stored energy due to location or structure • Chemical Energy • PE stored in molecules as a result of the arrangement of atoms in the molecule Free Energy & Metabolism • Chemical reactions can be classified based on how energy is used • Exergonic • Energy is given off in the reaction • Spontaneous • Endergonic • Energy is required to start the reaction • Not spontaneous Energy and Metabolism • Nutrients have potential energy (chemical energy) due to the arrangement of atoms • Electrons in the bonds holding atoms together represent energy!! • Energy can be given off when nutrients are broken down • Chemical energy in glucose is converted to ATP energy during Cellular Respiration Electrons and Energy • Loss of electrons in nutrients as they are broken down allows for the production of ATP • Very complicated, do not focus on details • Know that electrons represent stored energy • Electrons are shuttled in a cell by electron carriers and ultimately given to O2, making H2O • CO2 is lost in several steps along the way • Waste product of metabolism ATP • Adenosine Triphosphate • Energy molecule of our cells • Cells that require energy to perform functions use ATP for that energy • Composed of 3 parts: • Adenine molecule • Ribose molecule • 3 phosphate groups in a chain Cellular Respiration • Breakdown of nutrients in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) to yield ATP • Involves shuttling of electrons from food to oxygen • C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + (38 ATP) • Breakdown is stepwise Carbohydrate Metabolism • Glucose is not just an example we happen to choose – it is indeed the body’s preferred source of fuel • During digestion, polysaccharides and disaccharides are hydrolyzed into the monosaccharides glucose (80%), fructose, and galactose • These three monosaccharides are absorbed into the villi of the small intestine and carried to the liver • hepatocytes convert galactose and fructose to glucose Cellular Respiration • 3 major steps • Glycolysis • Initial breakdown of glucose • Cytosol, anaerobic • Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs) • Matrix of mitochondria, aerobic • Electron Transport Chain (Oxidative Phosphorylation) • Cristae of mitochondria, aerobic • This is where those electrons are used! Glycolysis • Glucose, C6H12O6, is broken down into 2- pyruvate molecules (3C) • Stepwise, where electrons are given off to electron carriers • These are used in the Electron Transport Chain • Occurs in the cytosol under Anaerobic conditions • ATP is both consumed and made here Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
