Basic Concepts of Cellular Metabolism and Bioenergetics Intermediary Metabolism The Chemistry of Metabolism Concepts of Bioenergetics Experimental Study of Metabolism 1 Metabolism Metabolism The summation of all chemical reactions in an organism. Metabolic differences are best studied by dividing all life into two categories. Autotrophs - organisms that use atmospheric CO2 as their sole source of carbon. Heterotrophs - life forms that obtain energy by ingesting complex carbon compounds . 2 Intermediary metabolism Metabolism relies on thousands of sequential enzymatically controlled reactions. Intermediary metabolism. Products from one reaction often become the reactant for the next - metabolites. Pathway. A series of reactions with a specific purpose. Linear - Glycolysis Branched - Amino acid biosynthesis Cyclic - Citric Acid Cycle Spiral - Fatty acid degradation 3 Intermediary metabolism Two paths of metabolism: Catabolism Degradation path. Complex organic molecules are degraded to simpler species. Production of energy. Anabolism Construction path. Biosynthesis of more complex organic compounds. Requires energy. 4 Energy Energy, ATP and the movement of phosphate phosphoenolpyruvate P 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate P creatine phosphate P ADP ATP glucose-1-phosphate P fructose-6-phosphate P glucose-6-phosphate P ADP 5 ATP ATP adenosine triphosphate a nucleotide composed of three basic units. adenine phosphate chain O - O P O- O O P O- NH2 O O N P O O- CH2 N O OH N N OH ribose 6 ATP and ADP NH 2 O- O P O O- ADP O P O O- CH 2 N N O N N Energy is released when it is removed.

N N ADP - ATP conversions act as a major method of transferring energy. 7 Catabolic stages of metabolism Stage I Breakdown of macromolecules into their building blocks. No useful energy. Stage II Oxidation of Stage I products to acetyl CoA. Limited energy production. Stage III Oxidation of acetyl CoA to CO2 and H2O and energy. 8 Overview of catabolic processes Proteins Fats Carbohydrates Stage 1 Amino acids Fatty acids Simple Sugars Glycolysis Stage 2 Pyruvate ATP Acetyl CoA Citric acid cycle Stage 3 Oxidative phosphorylation ATP 9 Overview of catabolic metabolism protein polysaccharides ADP + Pi lipids ADP + Pi ATP ATP ADP + Pi ATP hexoses pentoses amino acids ADP + Pi ADP + Pi ATP ATP fatty acids ADP + Pi ADP + Pi ATP ATP pyruvate urea ADP + Pi acetyl-CoA urea cycle CO2 ATP citric acid cycle e- O2 electron transport chain oxidative phosphorylation ATP 10 Stage one Hydrolysis of food into smaller subunits. Handled by the digestive system. 11 Stage one Salivary glands Secrete amylase - digests starch. Stomach Secretes HCl - denatures protein and pepsin. Pancreas Secretes proteolytic enzymes and lipases - degrades proteins and fats. 12 Stage one Liver and gallbladder Deliver bile salts. - emulsify fat globules - easier to digest. Small intestine Further degradation. Produces amino acids, hexose sugars, fatty acids and glycerol. Moves materials into blood for transport to cells. 13 The chemistry of metabolism Six categories of biochemical reactions have been identified. • Oxidation-reduction • Group-transfer • Hydrolysis • Nonhydrolytic cleavage • Isomerization and rearrangement • Bond formation reactions using energy from ATP 14 Oxidation-Reduction Most common of all metabolic reactions. • There are always two reactant molecules. • They are readily identified by the transfer of hydrogen atoms. • Enzymes involved in these reactions are oxidoreductases (dehydrogenases). AH2 + B A + BH2 15 Oxidation-Reduction When an atom or group is oxidized, some other species must accept the electrons. Many reactions are coupled to the coenzyme pairs. NAD+ / NADH NADP+ / NADPH FAD / FADH2 16 Coenzymes used in metabolism NAD+ NADH Oxidized form Reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. • Used in REDOX reactions. • It is a derivative of ADP and the vitamin nicotinamide. • The reactive site is located on the nicotinamide portion of NAD+. 17 Coenzymes used in metabolism reactive site O O O C - P O CH2 O O O O CH2 - ribose nicotinamide N+ O OH P NH2 OH N N O OH NH2 N adenine N OH 18 NAD+ 19 Coenzymes used in metabolism Example reactions of NAD+ General reaction OH R C H + NAD+ H O R C H + NADH + H + Specific example - ethanol CH3CH2OH + NAD+ alcohol dehydrogenase H CH3C=O + NADH + H+ 20 Coenzymes used in metabolism FAD - flavin adenine dinucleotide.

FAD is often involved in oxidation reactions in which a -CH2 - CH2 - portion is oxidized to a double bond.

Intramolecular. Movement from one location to another on the same molecule. Phosphate is one of the most important groups that is transferred. 25 Group-Transfer Another common group to transfer is acyl group. O R-C Coenzyme A (CoASH) will form a thioester linkage to this group, making it more active. 26 Acetyl - coenzyme A phosphorylated ADP pantothenate unit NH2 O O H CH3 C-CH2-CH2-N-C-C-C-CH2 H HO CH3 H-N CH2-CH2 S CH3C O O N N P O P O O- Sulfhydyl group O- CH 2 O O N N OH O P OO- acetate This molecule serves as the carrier for the small molecules from digestion. 27 Acetyl - coenzyme A 28 Hydrolysis Water is used to split a single molecule into two separate molecules. Most common types of bonds to split • Esters - fats • Amides - proteins • Glycosidic - carbohydrates 29 Hydrolysis Carbohydrates CH2 OH O H H OH H OH H O H OH H CH2 OH O H OH H H OH + H2O H OH enzyme CH2 OH O H H OH H OH H H OH HO OH H CH2 OH O H OH H H OH H OH 30 Hydrolysis Proteins H O H | || | H2N - C - C - N - C - COOH | | | R enzyme H R’ + water H | H2NCCOOH + | R H | H2NCCOOH | R’ 31 Hydrolysis Fats O H H C O O H C O R H C HO R OH O H C O C O R’ + 3 H2O H C OH H C O C R’’ H C OH H C H + HO C R’ O HO C R’’ 32 Nonhydrolytic cleavage A class of reactions where molecules are split without the use of water.

Most prominent example is the aldose-ketose isomerization. • Intramolecular rearrangements of functional groups. These are rare. 34 Isomerization and rearrangement H O C H C OH H C OH HO C H C OH HO C H H C OH H C OH H C OH H C OH CH 2OH aldose CH 2OH cis-enediol intermediate CH2OH C O HO C H H C OH H C OH CH 2OH ketose 35 Bond formation reactions using energy Category of biochemical bond formation reactions.

Equilibrium A + B K’eq = C + D [C] [D] [A] [B] 37 Standard free energy changes Go can be related to the equilibrium expression by: Go’ = -2.303 RT log K’eq where Go’ R T K’eq standard free energy change gas constant, 8.316 J/mol temperature, kelvin equilibrium constant 38 Standard free energy changes • These types of measurements can be made by mixing the reactants at 1 molar, 25oC and a pH of 7 in a test tube. • Unfortunately, they do not agree well with the conditions of a living cell. • They do provide an estimate for comparing energy requirements among the many reactions in a cell. 39 Standard free energy changes Go’ = 0 System at equilibrium, no release or requirement of energy. Go’ < 0 Reaction releases energy as it approaches equilibrium. Go’ > 0 Reaction requires that energy be added to proceed in the direction indicated. 40 Experimental measurement of Go’ As an example, let’s determine Go’ for the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. To start, solutions are mixed that result in an initial concentration of one molar for each species at standard conditions. At equilibrium we have: [ glucose-6-phosphate ] [ fructose-6-phosphate ] = 1.33 M = 0.67 M 41 Experimental measurement of Go’ K’eq = 0.67 M / 1.33 M = 0.50 Go’ = (-2.303)(8.315 J/mol)(298 K) log(0.5) = +1718 J/mol = +1.7 kJ/mol This indicates that energy is required for glucose-6-phosphate to be converted to fructose-6-phosphate -- it is not spontaneous. 42 Energy from ATP We can conduct a similar experiment using ATP and ADP: ATP + H2O ADP + Pi After mixing and allowing to reach equilibrium, we find that the concentration of ATP is too low to measure. We can’t directly obtain Go’ but at least we know that it must be negative. 43 Energy from ATP Using a coupled reaction, it is possible to measure the Go’ for ATP. Go’ kJ/mol glucose + ATP glucose-6-phosphate + ADP glucose-6-phosphate + H2O glucose + Pi -16.7 -13.8 Sum: ATP + H2O -30.5 ADP + Pi This is a relatively large amount of useful chemical energy. 44 Experimental study of metabolism To understand a pathway, one must know all of the details of each step. • Characterization of each enzyme and coenzyme. • Identification of the chemical pathway, including the substrate, intermediates, products and types of reaction. • Identification of molecules and conditions that regulate the overall rate of the pathway. 45 Experimental study of metabolism Whole organisms. One can introduce radiolabeled materials and measure any labeled waste products. Tissue slices and cells. These have been used to uncover metabolic details. The citric acid cycle was characterized using this approach. Cell-free extracts. Cells are homogenized in a buffer to release cell components for study. 46
