Document Summary
Changes in vo (initial rate) occurs with changes in ph. Deprotonation of amino group for basic a. a loss of positive charge. Protonation of carboxyl group for acidic a. a loss of negative charge. Humpty-dumpty principle = refers to the sum of isolated parts (of cells) << the. Also referred to as in vitro =/= in vivo. Use of quantitative studies to understand energy transformation in mater: helps identify reactions used and key pacemakers involved, bioenergetics = quantitative study of energy transformation in living systems. G" = is gibbs free energy when ph = 7: catalysts do not change g", enz will increase speed of reaction by decreasing activation energy required. Reaction at equilibrium, energy input will proceed in either direction. Exergonic reaction, energy released = reaction heads towards equilibrium. Endogenic reaction, reaction for a > b reacquires energy input. Branchpoint ~most likely to pacemaker enz: m. a. r.
