Textbook
• Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony-Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4th Ed., Prentice Hall, New York
• I believe there are copies in the Coop that will probably cost an arm and a leg.
• It’s cheaper online.• If you already have a
copy of Lehninger, you can probably get by.

Grades
• 3 hourly exams• Final exam (cumulative)• Several problem sets assigned as homework
throughout the semester• All weighted equally• Drop your lowest grade
![Page 4: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Final Exam
• Cumulative, but a little shallower than the hourly exams
• No, you don’t have to take the final if you’re satisfied with your grade.
• Don’t blame the instructor that the exam’s on a Saturday.
![Page 5: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Other Stuff• Since you’ve paid for this class, you can get a temporary library card by
presenting your fee slip at the PCL• Science Library is on the second floor of the tower.• Chemistry (Mallet) library is on the second (ground) floor of Welch, in
the old part of the building.• Instructions for getting a UT EID are on your fee receipt• Parking is catch-as-catch-can, and gets more and more removed every
semester.• Consider buying a “N” ($36, evening surface) or “N+” ($60, evening
garage or surface) permit.• Drop dates:
– 09/06/2013 at NOON. - Last day to drop with 50% refund.– 09/13/2013. - Last day to drop with no signatures required.– 11/15/2013 - Last day a student may change registration in a class to or
from the pass/fail or credit/no credit basis.– 11/15/2013 - Last day a student may drop a class except for urgent and
substantiated, nonacademic reasons - that is, at the Dean’s discretion, which is pretty hard to come by – “compelling reason” is the key world
• Your beloved professor’s salary is based on the number of students in the class a couple of weeks down the line. In the unlikely event that you decide to drop (after the refund date), please wait until I get paid for you.

Classroom Rules
• Theoretically, you’re not supposed to eat or drink in here– This is an evening class – I don’t mind
– Just no slurping, crunching, or overt drooling
• No snoring• If anyone has a CHL: It is illegal to carry in
the buildings on campus. Lock it in your car.• I will try to remember to post the lecture
slides on the website before class so people can download if they wish.

Logs• We don’t use much calculus in this class (about 10 minutes if
I’m really bloviating) but we use logarithms a lot!– Log (x) = y where 10y = x– Ln (x) = y where ey = x
• e , the base of the natural logarithm, is defined as:
• If x = A x B, then log(x) = log(A) + log(B)• if x = A / B, then log(x) = log(A) – log(B)• if x = AB, then log(x) = B x log(A)

Elements Required for Life
• CHON are the primary components, making up both the water component as well as being the primary ingredients of proteins and carbohydrates.
• P, S, K+, Na+, Ca++, Mg++ and Cl- are present in significant amounts as electrolytes in the body fluids and cytoplasm, as well as ingredients of nucleic acids (P) and protein (S).
• Other elements are present as trace elements, required in mg or g
– Known essential:Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, I, Mb, Se, Cr, Co.
– Possibly essential:F, B, Al, Si, Br, Ni, Cd, As, Sn, V, W.
Not all organisms require all trace elementsTrace elements are most commonly metals used as catalytic
reactants in enzymes
![Page 12: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In order to make big, functional molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, you need:
• Atoms that make several bonds• Atoms that make strong bonds• Atoms that aren’t too hard to come by
Only a few elements pull that off…
Why Carbon?
![Page 13: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why Carbon? Only a few common elements form 3 or more covalent bonds
![Page 14: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• B: Electron deficient element forms few stable compounds, must be charged to reach octet.
• N: Lone pairs of electrons in adjacent nitrogen atoms repel each other, resulting in low bond energy.
• Si, P: Relatively large atom size destabilizes chains, and P has the same problem as N.
• SiO: The silicon-oxygen bond is stable, but interesting compounds don’t form at earthly temperatures, and those that do are frequently of low solubility.

A Little O-Chem Review
Bleagghhh…..

Macromolecules• Biochemistry is characterized by big molecules
• Big biomolecules are almost exclusively polymersa) These monomeric units are usually asymmetrical, producing
directional polymers.b) Since each type of monomer can come in several varieties, the
sequence in which they are assembled contains and can convey information. Biomolecules contain codes.
c) Codes can carry instructions on how to make something else, on how to fold and assemble into a three-dimensional structure, or on how to distinguish one individual organism from another.
Polymers Assembled from (monomers)
Polysaccharides Sugars (monosaccharides)
Proteins Amino Acids
Nucleic Acids Nucleotides
[ Big Lipids ] [ Fatty Acids, Polyalcohols, etc. ]
![Page 19: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proteins, for example …
… are condensation products of -amino acids.
![Page 20: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
There are 20 amino acids that are incorporated into proteins:
You are going to have to “learn them off” eventually, so you might as well do it now.
Nature is, however, quite messy, and these can be modified into a number of other “non-standard” a.a.s.
![Page 21: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cells• All living organisms (except viruses ) are composed of cells - self-contained,
more or less self-sufficient units, which are the fundamental entities of life.
• The largest cells are 5 orders of magnitude larger in diameter, translating to 15 orders of magnitude greater in volume, than the smallest.
• Size is limited at the lower end by the minimum volume needed to contain and solvate the genome and the macromolecules necessary for metabolism and DNA replication.
• At the upper end, size is limited by the decreasing surface to volume ratio and the increasing distance from the center to the periphery.

Xenophyophores (really big cells)
• 20-cm xenophyophore (deposit feeder) from a deep Atlantic hydrothermal vent region. Notice the extremely convoluted surface of the critter, maximizing surface area and minimizing the distance from any part to the surface.
• Subclass of amoebas (sensu lato). Definite potential for a scifi movie.

Living organisms (not counting viruses) can be classified according to the similarities of their genomes.
Carl Woese † (U. Illinois) proposed the “3 branches of life” back in the 1970’s.
Archaea and Bacteria are both prokaryotic in cellular organization, but quite distinct genetically
Horizontal gene transfer among organisms of different species complicates the matter rather severely.

Thermodynamics (Briefly)
• Systems est divisa in partes tres– Open
• Exchange energy and matter
– Closed• Exchange energy only
– Isolated• Exchange nothing
![Page 36: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
More Thermodynamics• Energy can be exchanged as heat (q) or work (w)• By convention:
– q > 0:heat has been gained by the system from the surroundings
– q < 0:heat has been lost by the system to the surroundings
– w > 0:work has been done by the system on the surroundings
– w < 0: work has been done on the system by the surroundings

• Under Constant Volume, q = E + w = -9941.4 kJ/mol + 0 = -9941.4 kJ/mol
• Under Constant Pressure, W is not 0! Used 23 moles O2, only produced 16 moles CO2
W = PΔVΔV = ΔnRT/PW = ΔnRT = (-7 mol)(8.314 J/Kmol)(298 K) = -17.3 kJ q = -9941.4 kJ/mol + (-17.3 kJ/mol) = -9958.7 kJ/mol

Enthalpy
• Technically speaking, most cells operate under constant pressure conditions
• Practically, there’s not much difference most of the time
• Enthalpy (H) is defined as:H = E + PV or
H = E + PV
• If H > 0, heat is flowing from the surroundings to the system and the process is endothermic
• if H < 0, heat is being given off, and the process is exothermic.
• Many spontaneous processes are exothermic, but not all

Endothermic but spontaneous• Ammonium Nitrate spontaneously dissolves in
water to the tune of about 2 kg/liter
• Ammonium nitrate has a Hsolution of +25.7 kJ/mol
• Remember positive enthalpy = endothermic• This is the basis of instant cold packs

Second law of Thermo
• Any spontaneous process must be accompanied by a net increase in entropy (S).
• What the heck is entropy?• Entropy is a measure of the “disorderliness”
of a system (and/or the surroundings).• What the heck does that mean?• Better, it is a measure of the number of states
that a system can occupy.• Huh?...let me explain
![Page 43: CH339K Lecture 1. Textbook Mathews, C. K., van Holde, K. E., Appling, D. R., and Anthony- Cahill, S. J. (2012) Biochemistry, 4 th Ed., Prentice Hall,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7c5503460f94b7debe/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Entropy
S = k x ln(W) where• W is the number of possible states• k is Boltzmann’s constant, = R/N

What happens if the volume increases?

Adding volume increases the number of “slots,” therefore increasing W, the number of states, thereby increasing entropy.

• We can quantify that:– Number of atoms dissolved = Na– Number of original slots = no
– Number of original states = Wo– Number of final slots = nf
– Number of final states = Wf
o o o o oW = n (n 1)(n 2)...(n Na)
f f f f fW = n (n 1)(n 2)...(n Na)
• Since Na << Wo and Na << Wf (dilute solution), then:
o on Na n f fn Na n and
• So we can simplify the top equations to:Na
o oW = n Naf fW = n
and

• Okay, so what (quantitatively) is the change in entropy from increasing the volume?
f oS = S - S• Substituting and solving:
f oS = k ln(W ) k ln(W )
f
o
WS = k ln

nS = k ln

So S is logarithmically related to the change in the number of “slots.”

• Let’s make the assumption that we are dealing with 1 mole (i.e. N atoms) of solute dissolved in a large volume of water.
• Since Boltzmann’s constant (k) = R/N, our equation resolves to:
f
o
nS = R ln
n
• Since the number of “slots” is directly related to the volume:
f
o
VS = R ln
V
• And since the concentration is inversely related to the volume:
o
f
CS = R ln

Entropy (cont.)• Entropy change tells us whether a reaction is
spontaneous, but…• Entropy can increase in the System, the
Surroundings, or both, as long as the total is positive.
• Can’t directly measure the entropy of the surroundings.
• HOWEVER, the change in enthalpy of the system is an indirect measure of the change in entropy of the surroundings – an exothermic reaction contributes heat (disorder) to the universe.

Gibbs Free Energy
• We can coin a term called the Free Energy (G) of the system which tells us the directionality of a reaction.
G = H – TS
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
If ΔG < 0, free energy is lost exergonic – forward rxn favored.
If ΔG > 0, free energy is gained endergonic – reverse rxn favored.

Different ΔG’s
• ΔG is the change in free energy for a reaction under some set of real conditions.
• ΔGo is the change in free energy for a reaction under standard conditions (all reactants 1M)
• ΔGo’ is the change of free energy for a reaction with all reactants at 1M and pH 7.

SO: ΔGo for a reaction is related to the equilibrium constant for that reaction.
ΔGo = -RTlnKeq
Or
Keq = e-ΔGo/RT
