I. Bioenergetics
Terminology:
Bioenergetics
Energy trransduction
Biochemical thermodynamics
Gibbs free energy (G) and Gibbs change of free energy (G)
G = H - TS
T = absolute temperature
H = enthalpy, heat
S = degree of organization of atoms involved in
reaction
G = available useful energy
Reaction is endergonic
Proceeds only with net gain of energy
G = zero:
Sistem is at equilibrium
No net change takes place

processes in living systems
- Catalyzed by class I enzymes:
Oxidoreductases

Definition:
A red + B ox
Fe3+ + e13
Oxidoreductases
(Harper 26th)
1.
Oxidases:
A Containing Cu
B As flavoproteins
2.
Dehydrogenases:
A. NAD+ or NADP+ as coenzyme
B Flavin as coenzyme
C Cytochromes (Fe-porphyrin as coenzyme)
14
1.
Oxidases:
- Remove 2 protons (H+) from substrate and pass to oksigen
- Generate H2O or H2O2
Two groups of oxidases:
A Containing Cu
Example: Cytochrome a3 (cyt a3) also known as cyt aa3
Is a cytochrome oxidase
Terminal compound of the respiratory chain in
mitochondria
B. Flavoproteins, contain FMN or FAD
Ex. : L-aminoacid oxidase
Xanthine oxidase
Aldehyde dehydrogenase

2.
16
B. Flavin as coenzyme
Tightly bound to apoenzyme (prosthetic
Linked to e- transport of the respiratory
group)
chain
C. Cytochromes
Fe-containing hemoproteins
In the resp. chain: cyt b, c1, c, a (and cyt a3 which is
an oxidase)
Cyt also in endoplasmic reticulum (P450 and P5), in
plant cells, bacteria and yeast.

Peroxidase
3.
2 H 2O + A
GSSG + H2O
18
B.
Catalase
Catalase
Hemoprotein with 4 heme groups
2 H2 O 2
2 H2O + O2
4.
Oxygenases
Catalyze direct transfer & incorporation of oxygen into a
substrate molecule.
A. Dioxygenases
Incorporate both atoms of molecular oxygen into the
substrate.
A + O2 AO2
Example: Homogentisate dioxygenase (oxidase)
20
B.
AOH + H2O + Z
21
Free radicals
- O
Transfer of a single e to
O - (superoxide anion)

Can damage membranes, DNA,
etc.
Destructive effects
Amplified by: Free radical chain reaction
Removed by: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the reactions

Also:
High content of creatine kinase as energy
buffer and energy shuttle (as well as brain)
Heart (and brain) sensitive to ischemia and
anoxia decreased ATP production
31
Superoxide radical
H2O2
Hydrogen peroxide
OH.
Hydroxyl radical
(most potent to attack DNA
and membrane)
33
Environmental stressors:
- Radiation
- Air pollutants
(ozone, SO2, acid rain)
- Herbicides
34
Enzymes:
- SOD (Mn SOD in mitoch.,
Cu Zn SOD in cytosole)
- Catalase
- Glutathione peroxidase
