Consider amino acids as acids or bases
What is pH? pH = log10(1/[H+]) = -log10[H+]
Consider a weak acid, HA <-> H+ + A-
The equilibrium constant, Ka, for this rxn is:Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
What is pK?pKa = -logKa = log(1/Ka)
pK is the pH at which a group is 50% ionized

pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA])

Striking structural similarity with only 24/141 identical amino acids between myoglobin, Hb , Hb β
heme
Hemoglobin, 2 β2
If myoglobin binds oxygen, why did hemoglobin evolve?
1. Oligomeric proteins have potential for cooperativity
2. Cooperative O2 binding makes hemoglobin very efficient for O2 transport and delivery
3. Myoglobin binds O2
3. Hemoglobin binds O2, CO2, H+ and BPG
4. Structures of oxy and deoxy hemoglobin differ
Physiology of respiration
1. Red cells circulate to lungs where O2 is high
2. Hemoglobin becomes saturated with O2; Hb-4O2
3. Red blood cells circulate to muscle, Hb releases O2
necessary for metabolism4. Hb picks up CO2 and H+ , products of metabolism,
and return to lungs5. Hb releases CO2 and H+ and picks up O2
How can Hb both bind and release O2?

Intimate association of the substrate with the intricate,complex 3-D structure of the enzyme
Role of Free Energy, G, in reactions
Consider the reaction:
A + B C + D
G = Go + RT ln [C][D]/[A][B]
In biological systems use Go’, Go at pH 7
G = Go’ + RT ln [C][D]/[A][B] **
standard free energy gas constant temperature
(Review 1st and 2nd Laws and Entropy. pp 11-13)
G = Go’ + RT ln [C][D]/[A][B]Since at equilibrium, G = 0, rearrange:0 = Go’ + RT ln[C][D]/[A][B] or
Go’ = -RT ln [C][D]/[A][B] since
K’eq = [C][D]/[A][B]
Go’ = -RT ln K’eq **
G = Go’ + RT ln [C][D]/[A][B] **
Even if Go’ is positive, G can be negative(Problem Berg, pp. 210)
pp. 210
Thermodynamic considerations for enzyme reactions
1. A reaction can occur spontaneously if G is negative (exergonic)
2. A system is at equilibrium when G is zero
3. A reaction cannot occur spontaneously if G is positive (endergonic)
4. G is independent of pathway; only initial and final states
5. G provides no information about rate of reaction
How do enzymes accelerate reaction rates?
1. They do not alter equilibrium or change G values
2. They lower activation energy by formation/bindingof “transition state”
Enzymes lower activation energy
pp. 212
Consider a reaction:
ATP very slow ADP + Pi + Energy
ATP ATP* ADP + Pi + Energy
ATP ATP* ADP + Pi + Energy
very slow
very fast
Enzyme
ATP* = transition state, transition structure
I think that enzymes are molecules that are complementaryin structure to the activated complexes of the reactions they catalyze, that is, to the molecular configuration that is intermediate between the reacting substances and the the products of reaction for those catalyzed processes. The attraction of the enzyme molecule for the activated complex would thus lead to a decrease in its energy and hence to a decrease in the energy of activation of the reaction and to an increase in the rate of reaction.

Summary of enzyme catalysis
1. Enzymes change rates not equlibria
2. Kinetic and structural evidence for active site
3. Enzymes lower activation energy, bind transition state
4. Enzymes can be self regulating **
5. Enzymes are wonderful
Regulation of enzyme activity:
1. Necessity for regulation, 1000s of biochemical reactions, all metabolism is interrelated
2. Control = efficiency
1000s of reactions, all interlinked
1. Control amount of enzyme: long term, hrs, days-enzyme synthesis: gene regulation-enzyme degradation
2. Control function of enzyme: short term, sec, min ** - allosteric regulation, non-covalent,
-covalent modification (phosphorylation)- proteolytic processing
Two major regulatory strategies
Regulatory, allosteric enzymes: some definitions
1. Allosteric = “other site” other than active site
2. Regulatory molecules called, effectors, modulators, regulatory molecules
3. Homotropic regulation: regulation by substrate at active site
4. Heterotropic regulation: regulation by molecule NOT substrate ( end products), at allosteric site
5. Few enzymes are allosteric
6. Allosteric enzymes DO NOT exhibit M-M kinetics
Physiology of allosteric enzymesConsider biochemical pathways:
-Homotropic regulation, substrate activation
