Document Summary

2 forms of energy: kinetic, potential. The change in free energy depends on the chemical equilibrium of the reaction. Forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate at equilibrium. Total g = -3. 9 kcal/mole: catalyst speeds up the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier, biological catalyst proteins that are catalysts for their specific substrates. Ribosome"s: the reactants (substrates) bind to the active site of the enzyme. Some enzymes change shape when binding to a substrate. Some substrates changes physically or chemically when binding to the active site: the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction depends on substrate concentration. Some enzymes require partners (cofactors, coenzymes, or prosthetic groups) to facilitate a reaction. Metabolism: organized into pathways (the product of one reaction is the reactant for the next) Each reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme: new field of systems biology studies the complex interactions of metabolic pathways.
