Metabolism
• Catabolism
• Anabolism
• Enzymes
3
Catabolism
Enzymes involved in breakdown of complex organic molecules to extract energy and form simpler end products
Anabolism
Enzymes involved in the use of energy from catabolism to synthesize macromolecules and cell structures from precursors (simpler products)

Catabolism and anabolism – simple model

Enzymes – what are they?
• Function
• Structure
• Enzyme-substrate interaction
• Cofactors
• Action
• Regulation
6
Function
• Catalysts for chemical reactions
• Lower the energy of activation

What Affects Enzymes?
7
Unfolding Kills Enzymes

Enzymes Inhibited by Competition (more later…)

Enzyme are Made of…
– Many protein enzymes are complete without additions
– Apoenzymes are inactive if not bound to non-protein cofactors (inorganic ions or coenzymes)
– Binding of apoenzyme and its cofactor(s) yields holoenzyme
– Some are RNA molecules called ribozymes
10
11
Types of Enzyme(Based on Structure)
• Simple enzyme
– protein alone
• Conjugated enzyme
– protein and nonprotein
• Three-dimensional features
– Enable specificity
• Active site or catalytic site

Another Example of Conjugated Enzymes

Enzymes in 3D
15
Enzyme-substrate interactions
• Substrates specifically bind to the active sites on the enzyme
– “lock-and-key”
– Induced fit
• Once the reaction is complete, the product is released and the enzyme reused
6
Substrate Fit
16
17
Lock-and-key model, and induced fit
18
Cofactors
• Bind to and activate the enzyme
• Ex. Metallic cofactors
– Iron, copper, magnesium
• Coenzymes
7
19
Coenzyme
• Transient carrier - alter a substrate by removing a chemical group from one substrate and adding it to another substrate
• Ex. vitamins
20
Example: coenzyme transfers chemical groups between substrates
21
Action
• Exoenzymes
• Endoenzymes
• Constitutive
• Induction or repression
• Types of reactions
8
22
Exoenzymes vs. Endoenzymes
•Exoenzymes -inactive inside the cell, active after release.•Endoenzymesremain in the cell and are active
23
Constitiutive and Regulated enzymes
Constitutive enzymes-present in constant amountsRegulated enzymes are either induced or repressed.
24
Reaction types
• Condensation (associated with anabolic reactions)
• Hydrolysis (associated with catabolic reactions)
• Transfer reactions

enzyme-catalyzed synthesisand hydrolysis reactions
26
Transfer reactions
• Transfer of electrons from one substrate to another– Oxidation
(add O2 to a compound with a loss of electrons, increase charge)
– Reduction (add e- to a compound, decrease charge)
• Oxidoreductase
• Transfer of functional groups from one molecule to another– Transferases
• Aminotransferases
27
How to remember re-dox?
• LEO goes GER
• Losing Electrons is Oxidation
• Gaining Electrons is Reduction

Examples of oxidoreductase, transferase, and hydrolytic enzymes
29
Enzyme Regulation
• Metabolic pathways
• Direct control
• Genetic control
30
Patterns of metabolism
Different metabolic pathways are regulated by the enzymes that catalyze the reactions.
11
31
Two common direct control mechanisms-Competitive and Noncompetitive inhibitions
Another Control -Feedback Inhibition
32
33
Genetic control
• Repression
• Induction
12
34
Energy
• Cell energetics
– Exergonic
– Endergonic
• Redox reaction (change in oxidation number)
• Electron carrier
• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
35
Cell energy model (simplified)
36
Redox Reaction (again)
• Reduction and oxidation reaction (LEO goes GER):– Oxidation: loss of electrons, or gain of oxygen, gives
increase in oxidation number.
– Reduction: gain of electrons, or loss of oxygen, gives decrease in oxidation number.
• Electron carriers transfer electrons and hydrogens– Electron donor
– Electron acceptor
• Energy is also transferred and captured by the phosphate in form of ATP
13
37
Electron carriers
• Coenzymes
– Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
• Respiratory chain carriers
– Cytochromes (protein)
38
NAD reduction

39
Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP - $$!)
• Temporary energy repository - energy storage!
• Break phosphates bonds to release free energy
• Three part molecule:– Nitrogen base
– 5-carbon sugar (ribose)
– Chain of phosphates
14
40
AMP grows to ATP, each stage higher in energy
Carbohydrates – Most Important
• Many organisms oxidize carbohydrates as primary energy source for anabolic reactions
• Glucose most common carbohydrate used
• Glucose catabolized by two processes:
– Cellular respiration
– Fermentation
41
42
Phosphorylation of glucose by ATP
ATP can phosphorylate an organic molecule like glucose during catabolism
15
43
ATP can be synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation.
44
Various Pathways
• Catabolism– Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway
or glycolysis
– Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA)
– Respiratory chain• Aerobic
• Anaerobic
– Alternate pathways
– Fermentation
45
Metabolism Summary of Glucose and Energy
16
46
Aerobic respiration (O2)
Three stages:
• Glycolysis
• Tricarboxylic acid (TCA)
• Electron transport
47
Basics of Glycolysis
• In cytoplasm for most cells
– Divided into three stages involving 10 total steps
• Energy-investment stage
• Lysis stage
• Energy-conserving stage
(cont. next slide)
48
Basics of Glycolysis
• In cytoplasm for most cells
• Oxidation of glucose
• Phosphorylation of some intermediates (Uses two ATPs)
• Splits a 6 carbon sugar into two 3 carbon molecules
• Coenzyme NAD is reduced to NADH
• Substrate-level-phosphorylation (Four ATPs are synthesized)
(cont. next slide)
17
49
Basic of Glycolysis (continued)
• Water is generated
• Net yield of 2 ATPs
• Final intermediates are two Pyruvic acid molecules (notice that it require 2 different, parallel pathways to finally generate both pyruvic acid molecules…)
Overview

51
Glycolytic Steps:Metabolism of Glucose
to 2 Pyruvic Acid molecules (pyruvate)
18
52
TCA cycle• Each pyruvic acid is processed to enter the
TCA cycle (two complete cycles)
• CO2 is generated
• Coenzymes NAD and FAD are reduced to NADH and FADH2
• Net yield of two ATPs
• Critical intermediates are synthesized
53
TCA Cycle Steps
Each cycle handles one 3 carbon molecule.
This means it takes two cycles to burn up one 6 carbon glucose molecule.
54
Electron transport
• NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to the electron carriers
• Membrane bound carriers transfer electrons (redox reactions)
• The final electron acceptor completes the terminal step (ex. Oxygen)
19
55
Electron Transport (continued)
Driven by:
• Chemiosmosis
• Proton motive force (PMF)
e- Transport

phosphorylation e- transport and formation of a proton gradient

58
Electron Transport Chain Locations
• Eukaryotes
– mitochondria
• Prokaryotes
– Cytoplasmic membrane
59
ATP Yield:One glucose molecule, aerobic respiration
60
Anaerobic respiration (No O2)
• Similar to aerobic respiration, except nitrate or nitrite is the final electron acceptor
21
61
Fermentation
• Glycolysis only
• NADH from glycolysis is used to reduce the organic products
• Organic compounds as the final electron acceptors
• ATP yields are small (per glucose molecule), compared to respiration
• Must metabolize large amounts of glucose to produce equivalent respiratory ATPs
62
Types of fermenters
• Facultative anaerobes
– Fermentation in the absence of oxygen
– Respiration in the presence of oxygen
– Ex. Escherichia coli
• Strict fermenters
– No respiration
– Ex. yeast
Why Fermentation?
– Sometimes cells cannot completely oxidize glucose by cellular respiration
– Cells require constant source of NAD+
• Cannot be obtained simply using glycolysis and Krebs cycle
– Fermentation pathways provide cells with alternate source of NAD+
• Partial oxidation of sugar (or other metabolites) to release energy using an organic molecule from within the cell as final electron acceptor

• Metabolism of fatty acids into acetyl-CoA Krebs (TCA cycle)
• 4 steps:
– Oxidation by FAD
– Hydation of C2=C3 bond
– Oxidation by NAD+
