An Introduction to Metabolism
An organism’s metabolism transforms matter and energy, subject to the laws of thermodynamics
• Metabolism is the totality of an organism’s chemical reactions
– Example of an emergent property that arises from interactions between molecules within the cell
• A metabolic pathway begins with a specific molecule and ends with a product
– Each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme

Product
• Catabolic pathways
– release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds
– Ex: Cellular respiration (the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen)
• Anabolic pathways
– consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones
– Ex: The synthesis of protein from amino acids

Catabolic vs Anabolic Pathways
• Energy is the capacity to cause change or do work and can be converted from one form to another
– Kinetic energy (energy of movement)
– Heat (thermal energy)
– Potential energy
– Chemical energy

Forms of Energy
Climbing up converts the kinetic energy of muscle movement to potential energy.
A diver has less potential energy in the water than on the platform.
Diving converts potential energy to kinetic energy.
A diver has more potential energy on the platform than in the water.
The Laws of Energy Transformation
• Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations
• A closed system is isolated from its surroundings
– Ex: liquid in a thermos
• In an open system, energy and matter can be transferred between the system and its surroundings
– Ex: Organisms absorb energy and release heat
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
The Laws of Thermodynamics
• First Law of Thermodynamics
– Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed
– The energy of the universe is constant
– “principle of conservation of energy”
– Ex: plants convert sunlight to chemical energy
• Second Law of Thermodynamics
– During every energy transfer or transformation, some energy is unusable, and is often lost as heat
– Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy (disorder) of the universe

First and Second law of Thermodynamics
Biological Order and Disorder
• Cells create ordered structures from less ordered materials
– Ex: amino acids make proteins
• Organisms also replace ordered forms of matter and energy with less ordered forms
– Ex: the break down of food molecules produces water, heat and CO2
• Entropy (disorder) may decrease in an organism, but the universe’s total entropy increases
• Energy flows into an ecosystem in the form of light and exits as heat

The free-energy change of a reaction tells us whether or not the reaction occurs spontaneously
• Free Energy– energy that can do work when temperature and
pressure are uniform, as in a living cell
– measure of a system’s instability
• The change in free energy (∆G) during a process is related to the change in enthalpy, or change in total energy (∆H), change in entropy (∆S), and temperature in Kelvin (T):
Free energy change: ∆G = ∆H – T∆S

Entropy
• Equilibrium is a state of maximum stability
• Spontaneous reactions:• ∆G < 0 (a negative ∆G)• can be harnessed to perform work when it is moving
towards equillibrium• free energy decreases and the stability of a system
increases
• G represents the difference between the free energy of the final state and the free energy of the initial stateG = Gfinal state – Ginitial state
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Free-Energy Change, G
(a) Gravitational motion (b) Diffusion (c) Chemical reaction
• More free energy (higher G)• Less stable• Greater work capacity
In a spontaneous change:
• The free energy of the system decreases (∆G < 0)• The system becomes more stable• The released free energy can be harnessed to do work
• Less free energy (lower G)• More stable• Less work capacity
Relationship of free energy to stability, work capacity and spontaneous change
Unstable systems
Exergonic and Endergonic Reactions in Metabolism
• An exergonic reaction (downhill) proceeds with a net release of free energy and is spontaneous
– G is negative
– The greater the decrease in free energy, the more work can be done
• An endergonic reaction (uphill) absorbs free energy from its surroundings and is nonspontaneous
– G is positive and is the energy required to drive the reaction
• If a chemical process is exergonic/downhill then the opposite reaction must be endergonic/uphill

Equilibrium and Metabolism
• Reactions in a closed system eventually reach equilibrium and then do no work
– Cells are not in equilibrium; they are open systems experiencing a constant flow of materials
• In life metabolism is never at equilibrium
• A catabolic pathway in a cell releases free energy in a series of reactions
• Closed and open hydroelectric systems can serve as analogies

What would happen if a cell was in equilibrium?

•Downhill flow of water turns a turbine •turbine drives a generator •Electricity turns on a light bulb•Eventually equilibrium will be reached
•Running water powers the generator•Intake and outflow of water keeps equilibrium from occurring•Electricity turns on a light bulb
•Running water powers the generator•The product becomes the reactant in the next reaction•Equilibrium will not be reached•Ex: cellular respiration
Spontaneous reaction
Similar to a catabolic pathway that releases energy

ATP powers cellular work by coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions
• A cell does three main kinds of work which all require energy:
– Chemical – the pushing of endergonic rxns that require energy
– Transport – pump substances across membranes against a gradient
– Mechanical – ex: muscle contraction, beating of cilia
• To do work, cells manage energy resources by energy coupling, the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one
– Most energy coupling in cells is mediated by ATP

Phosphate groupsRibose
Adenine
The Structure and Hydrolysis of ATP
• ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
– is the cell’s energy shuttle
– composed of ribose (a sugar), adenine (a nitrogenous base), and three phosphate groups
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Hydrolysis can break the bonds between phosphate groups of ATP
• Energy is released from ATP when the terminal phosphate bond is broken (exergonic rxn)
• This release of energy comes from the chemical change to a state of lower free energy, not from the phosphate bonds themselves

How ATP Performs Work
• Mechanical, transport, and chemical work are powered by the hydrolysis of ATP
• The energy from the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis can be used to drive an endergonic reaction
• Overall, the coupled reactions are exergonic
• ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation

The Regeneration of ATP
• ATP is a renewable resource
– ADP + Pi ATP
• The energy to phosphorylate ADP comes from catabolic reactions in the cell (those that release energy)
• The chemical potential energy temporarily stored in ATP drives most cellular work

Enzymes speed up metabolic reactions by lowering energy barriers
• A catalyst is a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction
• An enzyme is a catalytic protein
– Ex: Sucrase hydrolyzes sucrose molecules

The Activation Energy Barrier
• Every chemical reaction between molecules involves bond breaking and bond forming
• Free energy of activation
– AKA activation energy (EA)
– The initial energy needed to start a chemical reaction
– Often supplied in the form of heat from the surroundings
– Enzymes decrease EA
• Do not affect the change in free energy (∆G)
• Hasten reactions that would occur eventually

Substrate Specificity of Enzymes
• The reactant that an enzyme acts on is called the enzyme’s substrate
• The enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate complex

Enzyme Enzyme-substratecomplex
The active site is the region on the enzyme where the substrate binds.An enzyme’s recognition of a substrate is very specific due to it AA sequence.
Induced fit between an enzyme and its substrate
Catalysis in the Enzyme’s Active Site
• substrate binds to the active site
• The active site can lower an EA barrier by
– Orienting substrates correctly
– Straining substrate bonds
– Providing a favorable microenvironment
– Covalently bonding to the substrate

Cofactors
• Cofactors are nonprotein enzyme helpers
• Cofactors may be inorganic (such as a metal in ionic form) or organic
– An organic cofactor is called a coenzyme
• Ex: vitamins

Effects of Local Conditions on Enzyme Activity
• An enzyme’s activity can be affected by
– pH
– Temperature
• Each enzyme has an optimal temperature in which it can function
• Each enzyme has an optimal pH in which it can function
– Chemicals that specifically influence the enzyme• Competitive vs noncompetitive inhibitors

Enzyme Inhibitors
• Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of an enzyme, competing with the substrate
• Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to another part of an enzyme, causing the enzyme to change shape and making the active site less effective
• Ex: toxins, poisons, pesticides, and antibiotics

Types of Enzyme Inhibition
Regulation of enzyme activity helps control metabolism
• Metabolic pathways are tightly regulated
– Allosteric regulation can inhibit or stimulate an enzyme’s activity
– Feedback inhibition end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the pathway (ie: negative feedback mechanism)
• prevents a cell from wasting chemical resources by synthesizing more product than is needed
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Allosteric Regulation of Enzymes
• Enzymes are made up of several subunits or polypeptide chains which have there own active site
• Regulatory molecule binds to a protein at one site and affects the protein’s function at another site
– Activator stabilizes the active form of the enzyme
– Inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme
• Cooperativity
– Can amplify enzyme activity
– Binding of a substrate to one active site stabilizes favorable conformational changes at all other subunits
– One substrate molecule primes the enzyme to accept additional substrate molecules more readily
