Day One - Energy

Oxidation – Loss of Electrons
Reduction – Gain of Electrons

Energy
Two Types
Kinetic Energy – energy of motion
Potential Energy – stored energy

Thermodynamics – branch of chemistry concerned with energy changes

First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy in the universes. Energy can not be created not destroyed only changed. Total amount of energy stays constant.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Transformation of Energy
Entropy- disorder of energy,

Redox – Gaining/Losing energy
Redox Reactions – coupled reactions

Exergonic – negative change in energy ( disable chemical bons)
Endergonic- positive change in energy


ATP – Edenosine Triphosphate
Ribose
Adenine
Three Phosphates
ATP is a couple reaction – ATP/ADP

Ribonuclease –
ribozymes – RNA enzyme - hydrolysis of one of their own phosphodiester bonds


Active Site –
Allosteric Site- expose another active site / change shape of an enzyme

PCR – polymerase chain reaction

Cofactors – non protein component of the enzyme

Multienzyme
product of one enzyme can be directly delivered to the next enzyme.
The possibility of one side reactions
