Chapter 2 Part B Chemistry Comes Alive © Annie Leibovitz/Contact Press Images © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. PowerPoint® Lecture Slides prepared by Karen Dunbar Kareiva Ivy Tech Community College Part 2 – Biochemistry • Biochemistry is the study of chemical composition and reactions of living matter • All chemicals either organic or inorganic – Inorganic compounds • Water, salts, and many acids and bases • Do not contain carbon – Organic compounds • Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids • Contain carbon, are usually large, and are covalently bonded • Both equally essential for life © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.6 Inorganic Compounds Water • Most abundant inorganic compound – Accounts for 60%–80% of the volume of living cells • Most important inorganic compound because of its properties – High heat capacity – High heat of vaporization – Polar solvent properties – Reactivity – Cushioning © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Water • High heat capacity – Ability to absorb and release heat with little temperature change – Prevents sudden changes in temperature • High heat of vaporization – Evaporation requires large amounts of heat – Useful cooling mechanism © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Water (cont.) • Polar solvent properties – Dissolves and dissociates ionic substances – Forms hydration (water) layers around large charged molecules • Example: proteins – Body’s major transport medium © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 2.12 Dissociation of salt in water. d+ H d− O H d+ Water molecule Na+ Na+ Cl− Salt crystal © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Cl− Ions in solution Water (cont.) • Reactivity – Necessary part of hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis reactions • Cushioning – Protects certain organs from physical trauma • Example: cerebrospinal fluid cushions nervous system organs © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Salts • Salts are ionic compounds that dissociate into separate ions in water – Separate into cations (positively charged molecules) and anions (negatively charged) • Not including H+ and OH– ions © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Salts (cont.) • Salts (cont.) – All ions are called electrolytes because they can conduct electrical currents in solution – Ions play specialized roles in body functions • Example: sodium, potassium, calcium, and iron – Ionic balance is vital for homeostasis – Common salts in body • NaCl, CaCO3, KCl, calcium phosphates © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Clinical – Homeostatic Imbalance 2.1 • Ionic balance is vital for homeostasis • Kidneys play a big role in maintaining proper balance of electrolytes • If electrolyte balance is disrupted, virtually all organ systems cease to function © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Acids and Bases • Acids and bases are both electrolytes – Ionize and dissociate in water • Acids – Are proton donors: they release hydrogen ions (H+), bare protons (have no electrons) in solution • Example: HCl → H+ + Cl– – Important acids • HCl (hydrochloric acid), HC2H3O2 (acetic acid, abbreviated HAc), and H2CO3 (carbonic acid) © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Acids and Bases (cont.) • Bases – Are proton acceptors: they pick up H+ ions in solution • Example: NaOH → Na+ + OH– – When a base dissolves in solution, it releases a hydroxyl ion (OH –) – Important bases • Bicarbonate ion (HCO3–) and ammonia (NH3) © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Acids and Bases (cont.) • pH: Acid-base concentration – pH scale is measurement of concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in a solution – The more hydrogen ions in a solution, the more acidic that solution is – pH is negative logarithm of [H+] in moles per liter that ranges from 0–14 – pH scale is logarithmic, so each pH unit represents a 10-fold difference • Example: a pH 5 solution is 10 times more acidic than a pH 6 solution © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Acids and Bases (cont.) • pH: Acid-base concentration (cont.) – Acidic solutions have high [H+] but low pH • Acidic pH range is 0–6.99 – Neutral solutions have equal numbers of H+ and OH– ions • All neutral solutions are pH 7 • Pure water is pH neutral – pH of pure water pH 7: [H+] 10–7 m – Alkaline (basic) solutions have low [H+] but high pH • Alkaline pH range is 7.01–14 © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 2.13 The pH scale and pH values of representative substances.

Structural Levels of Proteins • Four levels of protein structure determine shape and function 1. Primary: linear sequence of amino acids (order) 2. Secondary: how primary amino acids interact with each other • Alpha () helix coils resemble a spring • Beta () pleated sheets resemble accordion ribbons 3. Tertiary: how secondary structures interact 4. Quaternary: how 2 or more different polypeptides interact with each other © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 2.18a Levels of protein structure.

Fibrous and Globular Proteins • Shapes of proteins fall into one of two categories: fibrous or globular 1. Fibrous (structural) proteins • • • • Strandlike, water-insoluble, and stable Most have tertiary or quaternary structure (3-D) Provide mechanical support and tensile strength Examples: keratin, elastin, collagen (single most abundant protein in body), and certain contractile fibers © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Fibrous and Globular Proteins (cont.) 2. Globular (functional) proteins • Compact, spherical, water-soluble, and sensitive to environmental changes • Tertiary or quaternary structure (3-D) • Specific functional regions (active sites) • Examples: antibodies, hormones, molecular chaperones, and enzymes © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Protein Denaturation • Denaturation: globular proteins unfold and lose their functional 3-D shape – Fibrous proteins are more stable – Active sites become deactivated • Can be caused by decreased pH (increased acidity) or increased temperature • Usually reversible if normal conditions restored • Irreversible if changes are extreme – Example: cannot undo cooking an egg © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Enzymes and Enzyme Activity • Enzymes: globular proteins that act as biological catalysts – Catalysts regulate and increase speed of chemical reactions without getting used up in the process – Lower the energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction • Leads to an increase in the speed of a reaction • Allows for millions of reactions per minute! © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Enzymes and Enzyme Activity (cont.) • Characteristics of enzymes – Most functional enzymes, referred to as holoenzymes, consist of two parts • Apoenzyme (protein portion) • Cofactor (metal ion) or coenzyme (organic molecule, often a vitamin) – Enzymes are specific • Act on a very specific substrate – Names usually end in –ase and are often named for the reaction they catalyze • Example: hydrolases, oxidases © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Enzymes and Enzyme Activity (cont.) • Enzyme action – Enzymes lower activation energy, which is the energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction • Enzymes “prime” the reaction – Enzymes allow chemical reactions to proceed quickly at body temperatures – Three steps are involved in enzyme action: 1. Substrate binds to enzyme’s active site, temporarily forming enzyme-substrate complex 2. Complex undergoes rearrangement of substrate, resulting in final product 3. Product is released from enzyme © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 2.19 Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction.
