What are 4 classes of oxidoreductases?
1 - oxygenase
2 - dehydrogenase
3 - oxidases
4 - hydroperoxidases
What are 2 types of oxygenases?
1 - monooxygenase - R-H + O2 + ZH2= ROH + H2O
2 - dioxygenase - R + O2= RO2
What do oxidases do?
They remove hydrogen using oxygen as hydrogen acceptor. Products are water or hydrogen peroxide.

R-H + O2 = R + H2O2
What do hydrolases do?
They transfer hydrogen from one substrate to another.
What do hydroperoxidases do?
They use organic peroxides or hydrogen peroxides as substrates.
What are two types of hydroperoxidases and what do they do?
1 - peroxidase - use peroxide
2 - catalse - breaks down hydrogen peroxide.
What 7 reactions are monoxygenases involved with?
1- CYTOCHROME P450
2 - Tyrosin synthesis
3 - Serotonin synthesis
4 - Catecholamine synthesis
5 - Cholesterol synthesis
6 - Vitamin D synthesis
7 - Nitric Oxide
What 3 reactions are dioxygenases involved with?
1 - PROSTAGLANDIN SYNTHESIS
2 - Tyrosine degradation
3 - Collagen modification
4 - Retinal formation

Cosubstrate is asorbic Acid - Vitamin C
Where does Cytochrome p450 reside?
What are some of its characteristics?
Endoplasmic Reticulum and mitochondria in liver.
Has a heme in the center.
What functions does Cytochrome p450 have?
1. Hydroxylation, epoxidation, modification of hydrophobic drugs for detoxification.

2. synthesis of steriod hormones

3. synthesis of bile acids
What is the pathway of Cytochrome p450?
Check powerpoint
How is Cytochrome p450 used in the synthesis of Steroid hormones?
Cholesterol ----> Pregnenolone ---> Glucocorticoids, mineral corticoids, androgens
How does CP450 modify compounds foreign to the body?
via hydroxylation

-example of ibuprofen--occurs in the ER of the Liver and Small Intestine. Makes ibuprofen much more soluble, excrete it much quicker.
Explain the pathway of Acetaminophen toxicity (overdose) by CP450.
Acetameniphon (tylenol)-->n-acetyl p benzoquinione----> product

*N acetyl benzo is highly reactive and is involved in modification of thiol containing compounds, leads to liver failure.

* notice a 7-10g drop of Gluthatione in liver cells of adults bc it's used to try to decrease the toxicity.
Explain pathway of benzopyrene and CP450 and how it is bad for you.
benzopyrene x CP450--> benzopyrene epoxide x epoxide hyrdolase--> benxopyrene diol x CP450 -->benzopyrene diol epoxide.

The product is highly carcinogenic.
This comes from burning organic goods like wood, etc.
Explain Tyrosine Synthesis

What disease is associated with this?
Phenylalanine is converted to tyrosine with monooxygenase.

Mutation in phenyl. oxygenase leads to phenylketonuria because phenylalaine is converted to phenylpruvate which converts to phenylketone.

phenylketonuria - mental retardation
Explain Serotinin Synthesis

What disease is associated with this?
Typtophan converted to serotonin.

Lack of serotonin causes depression.
Catecholamine synthesis
Tyrosine--->DOPA (via monooxygenase) --->dopamine --->noepinephrine (monooxygenase)---->epinephrine


Stress hormone, adrenaline rush.
High stress causes Increase in HR, increase glucose, blood pressure
Cholesterol synthesis

What enzyme does Lipitor act on?
FA-->Acetyl Coa--->Hmg Coa--->Melvonate --->SQUALENE (monooxygenase) --->cholesterol

Lipitor acts on HMG CoA reducatase which converts Hmg Coa to Melvonate.
What are the 2 enyzmes used in Vitamin D synthesis? Where are they used?

What disease are associated with mutations in vitamin D synthesis?
Liver - 25 hydroxylase (monooxygenase)

Kidney - 1 alpha hydroxylase (monooxygenase)

rickets and osteomalacia due to deficiency in vitamin D
What are three types of Nitric Oxide syntheses?
They are all monooxygenase

nNOS - neuronal - signaling
eNOS - endothelium - vasodilation
INOS - inducible - immunity
What are two parts of the dioxygenase enzyme in prostaglandin synthesis? What drugs inhibit it?
Prostaglandin Synthase (COX)

COX I - mucosal defense
COX ll - upregulated at sight of inflammation, causing pain and fever

NSAIDS - target COX ll.
-ibuprofen, aspirin, celebrex, vioxx, bextra

acetaminophen - Cox lll?
What disease is associated with tyrosine degradation? what enzyme is affected?
x5 - alkaptournia

mutation in enzyme homogentiase diooxygenase
What enzyme is used in Collagen modification?
What disease is associated with it
4 proyl hydroxylase

Scurvy - lack of asorbic acid which is a cofactor of 4-pyorl hydroxylase
What disease is associated with retinal formation? defect in monooxygenase or dioxygenase?
Vitamin A deficiency causes night blindness

mutation in dioxygenase
Why is drinking so bad for you? What group of enzymes is used that causes harmful effects to the body?
Microsomal ethanol oxidizing system is used and it creates ROS that damages liver.

CYP2E1
What cofactor does dompamine beta hydroxyls cathecolamine synthesis need?
vitamin c
explain the atp synthesis by binding change mechanism
O-L-T-O method to making atp

O-form: ATP is released. ADP and Pi are loosely bound.

L -form: ADP and Pi are tightly bound. Need this site to be filled by adp and pi in order for atp to be released.

t form: adp and pi are in equilibrium with ATP. ATP is only released when t goes to o form. ******TO GO FROM T TO O FORM, YOU NEED ENERGY FROM THE PROTON GRADIENT( ENERGETICALLY UPHILL).
