Know:
1. calculate std.dG using Keq, eqn.3.15
2. calculate actual dG using std.dG and actual concentrations of
reactants and products, eqn 3.24
3. std.dG is a state function and the sum of partial reactions (section 3.5)
4. chemical reasons for the high negative std.dG for phosphoryl
transfer from ATP. ADP PPi, mixed
anhydrides, PEP, and thioesters.
5. glycolysis probably the first metabolic pathway (section 17.1)
6. catabolism is oxidative, energy yielding as NADH2 and ATP
7. anabolism is reductive, energy consuming as NADPH2 and ATP
8. how the conflicting demands of catabolism and anabolism are
resolved (section 17.2)
9. which vitamin/coenzyme functions in
decarboxylation of alpha-ketoacids
carrier of two electrons as hydride ion
carrier of one or two electrons
activation/carrier of acyl functions
