-weekly recitation –voluntary – times and locations to be announced-There will be three hourly exams and one final. -Grades will be based on 100 points for each hourly exam and 150 points for the final. -Lecture notes and power point files will be posted on Blackboard page for Chem 251-Make-up lectures: I will be unable to lecture on Wed Sept 12 and Wed Sept 26. To make-up for the time lost, the following lectures will begin at 8:30 am instead of 9:00 am: Mon Sept 10, Fri Sept 14, Mon Sept 24, Fri Sept 28.
How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?
Erwin Schrödinger, What is Life?
MetabolismSum of chemical and physical reactions carried out by cell
Catabolism - breakdown of nutrients and cell components to generate energy and common precursors (building blocks); reactions are generally exergonic oxidations:- GAnabolism - synthesis of biomolecules - endergonic :+ G
Obligate aerobes - use O2 for oxdtn; animalsObligate anaerobes - O2 toxic; use other oxidantse.g., sulfate, nitrate -some bacteriaFacultative anaerobes - can use O2 or other oxidants - e.g., E. coli
Energy storage -High energy phosphate bonds; ATP: thioestersReduced cofactors: NADH, NADPH, FADH2
Generated by catabolic processes;Consumed by anabolic processesIntercoverted by oxidative phosphorylation

Note that within a peptide, the -amino and -carboxyl ionizationsare suppressed, except for the amino terminus and the carboxyl terminus. However, side-chain ionizations are maintained.

Side chain ionization
Ionizable side chains
Isoelectric Point of a Protein - no net charge -net charge (pH 7) = Arg + Lys + fHHis) - Asp + Glu + fCCys)-example shown is basic protein; (Arg + Lys) > (Glu + Asp + Cys)-so reaching isoelectric point requires deprotonation of some Lys residues (pKa 10.5)-for acidic protein: (Arg + Lys + His) < (Glu + Asp) - so reaching isoelectric point requires His protonation (pKa 6), and possibly some Glu or Asp protonation (pKa 4.5)

Figure 1 Schematic of MALDI process and instrument. (A) A sample cocrystallized withthe matrix is irradiated by a laser beam, leading to sublimation and ionization of peptides. (B) About 100–500 ns after the laser pulse, a strong acceleration field is switched on (delayed extraction), which imparts a fixed kinetic energy to the ions produced by the MALDI process. These ions travel down a flight tube and are turned around in an ion mirror, or reflector, to correct for initial energy differences. The mass-to-charge ratio is related to the time it takes an ion to reach the detector; the lighter ions arrive first. The ions are detected by a channeltron electron multiplier.

Sequencing with overlapping fragments
Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Sequencing
1) Proteinase digestion of protein
2) ESI-MS to generate peptide ions from digest (MS-1)
3) Collision cell to generate fragments of each ion
4) MS analysis of fragment ions (MS-2)
5) In this example, Peptide P3 fragments into F1 - F5 which are overlapping, allowing sequence to be deduced.
