Document Summary

Energy of life: bioluminescence: energy released in the form of light. Energy: capacity to do work, ability to do change. In living systems, unit of energy is kilocalorie. Change in free energy determines direction (enthalpy) = usable + unusable (heat/entropy: h = g + ts, gibbs free energy (g): energy actually available to do work, t: absolute temperature in kelvin, g = h - t s. Atp: energy currency not energy storage compound, motor proteins: mechanical actions, how does a cell use atp, chemical reactions mainly, atp is used to convert an endergonic reaction to a net exergonic reaction. Induced fit: initially fitting is loose, and then certain amino acid in the active site fit very precisely with the substrate: coenzyme: organic, non-proteinaceous, vitamins, prosthetic groups: permanently attached to the enzyme. Irresistible inhibitor: allosteric inhibition, allosteric site: where the substrate cannot bind, but the inhibitor can bind, changes conformation of the enzymes, and the active site changes shape.
