  1. Medical Chemistry (1st year – GM)Lecture IIMUDr. Vlastimil KuldaOctober 9th, 2012

  2. Water non-bonding electron pairs O H H H2O 105o bent molecule d- O - polar character H H + d+ d+ electrical dipole

  3. Hydrogen bonding - attractions between water molecules  HIGH melting point boiling point specific heat heat of vaporization surface tension + - + - - + + - + 0 oC 3.6 / H2O H bonds - much weaker than covalent bonds ! bond energy of H-bonds in liquid water: about 19 kJ/mol ( covalent H – O bond in water: 460 kJ/mol ) water is most dense at 3.98 °C !!! (when freezing, ice will form first on the surface)

  4. WATER - very good solvent ! Attraction between water dipoles and ions "hydrated ions" Dispersing "amphipathic" molecules "micelles"

  5. "Amphipathic" molecules – contain both highly hydrophobic and highly polar groups palmitic acid polar group = hydrophilic non-polar chain = hydrophobic (water-fearing) (water-loving) Phospholipids phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) polar groups

  6. Biological membranes - separate the cells separate the spaces (compartments) of the cell cell membrane mitochondria nucleus lysosome endoplasmic reticulum Phospholipid BILAYER hydrophilic hydrophobic hydrophilic

  7. Water in human body ~ 60 % of the body weight intracellular ~ 40 % extracellular ~ 20 % PLASMA 5 % interstitial fluid 15 % - a very complex solution of inorganic & organic components Na+K+ Ca2+ Mg2+ Phosphates Proteins Cl-HCO3- Phosphates Na+ K+Na+ Mg2+ K+ Na+/K+ pump ( = Na+/K+ -ATPase )

  8. Water balance Intake: ~ 1.5 - 2.0 l / day metabolic water(produced in human body by oxidation of food) 0.3 – 0.5 l /day Resorption: stomach, small intestine, LARGE INTESTINE Secretion: Saliva 1 500 ml / day Stomach 2 500 Bile 500 8 200 ml /day Pancreas 700 Small intestine 3 000 Excretion: Urine 60 % Skin 20 % (perspiration) Lungs 15 % Faeces 5 %

  9. Human blood plasma pH = 7.36 – 7.44 * Ca "total Ca" Ca2+ "ionized" is about ½ of "total" ~ 1.2 mmol/l

  10. Blood plasma ( extracellular fluid ) Cell fluid (cytosol) ( intracellular fluid )

  11. phospholipids cholesterol PROTEINS - enzymes - receptors - transport systems SELECTIVE permeability (membrane = barrier) The flow of molecules and ions between the cell and environment is precisely regulated by SPECIFIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS They regulate cell volume, ionic composition, pH They concentrate metabolic fuels and building blocks from the environment The extrude toxic substances They generate IONIC GRADIENTS  essential for the excitability

  12. Transport across membrane 1) Passive transport - does not involve energy - diffusion from high to low concentration 2) Active transport - uses energy (ATP) - can transport against the concentration gradient - one direction, high specificity 3) Secondary active transport - no direct need of energy - gradient created by active transport is used ! "channels" "pumps" ATP

  13. 2 3 1 Passive transport concentration and electrochemical GRADIENT toward equilibrium 1) Simple diffusion small molecule, NO charge, solubility in lipids ! O2 CO2 2) Ion channels - pore-forming proteins - can be "GATED" 3) Facilitated diffusion ("carrier proteins") - selective ! - large molecules, insoluble in lipids "gate" is open "gate" is closed

  14. Ion transport antibiotics Gramicidin - peptide: 15 amino acids HELIX - hydrophilic groups inside "wet channel" - lipophilic groups outside increase of the permeability of bacterial cell wall inorganic ions can travel through equilibration of concentrations = NO GRADIENT "wide wet pore"

  15. K+ hydrophillic groups INSIDE = "WET cave" Valinomycin hydrophobic (lipophillic) groups OUTSIDE ( = soluble in lipids of membrane) K+ highly selective carrier for K+ ( Na+ with water coating is too big) K+ equilibration of K+ concentration = NO GRADIENT

  16. hydrophillic groups Valinomycin hydrophobic (lipophillic) groups

  17. ATP ADP + Pi Active transport = "PUMPS" Transport against GRADIENT ENERGY ! Na+/K+ ATPase (sodium potassium pump) ATP 3 Na+ INHIBITION: cardiotonic steroids 2 K+

  18. Na+/K+ ATPase in cell membrane of EVERY human cell ! electrogenic = transfers 3 Na+ out and ONLY 2 K+ into the cell  inner side of the membrane - outer side of the membrane+ inhibitors of this pump: cardiotonic steroids = cardiac glykosides (oubain, digoxin)  treatment of heart failure, cardiac arrhytmia Digitalis purpurea (foxglove)

  19. CO2 CO2 + H2O * H+ Cl- H2CO3 K+ ATP HCO3- HCO3- + H+ Cl- lumen of the stomach pH = 1 - 2 blood pH = 7.4 parietal cell H+/K+ ATPase stomach  gastric acid HCl * carboanhydrase Zn2+ 106 increase of H+ concentration !

  20. Na+ glucose Na+ Ca2+ Secondary active transport "COTRANSPORT" Na+ dependent transport of glucose, aminoacids, Ca2+ "energy" = Na+ gradient generated by Na+/K+ ATPase SYMPORT ANTIPORT

  21. glucose glucose Na+ Na+ ATP K+ Na+ - glucose symport proximal tubulus of each nephron in the kidneys resorption of glucose intestines  resorption of glucose from GI tract

  22. Na+/Ca2+ antiport = sodium–calcium EXCHANGER Ca2+ Ca2+ Na+ Na+ ATP K+ Ca2+ ATPase Na+/Ca2+ exchanger  very low concentration of Ca2+ in cytosol

  23. Endocytosis Large (polar) molecules – cannot pass through the hydrophobic membrane phagocytosis - cell ingests large object such as bacteria pinocytosis - uptake of solutes and molecules such as proteins receptor-mediated endocytosis – specific ! LDL receptor chylomicron remnant receptor receptors that mediates endocytosis of blood plasma lipoproteins cell absorbs material by engulfing it with its own membrane

  24. vesicles with neurotransmitter Exocytosis = the opposite of endocytosis Exocytosis is needed for: - secretion of large molecules from cells: glands  peptide hormones B cells  antibodies - neuronal chemical synapses: realease of the neurotransmitter receptor synaptic cleft

  25. H2O low osmolality Water transport across membranes Water moves by "simple diffusion" through membranes ? Additional mechanism for water transport: AQUAPORINS "water channels" Water transport - due to osmotic differences (osmotic gradient) OSMOSIS high osmolality

  35. Hormones regulating tubular resorption Aldosteron - steroid hormone (mineralocorticoid) - produced in the adrenal gland (adrenal cortex) - acting in the distal tubule of the kidney nephron: reabsorption of Na+ into blood secretion of K+ into urine Vasopressin = antidiuretic hormone (ADH) - peptide hormone - synthesized in the hypothalamus, released into blood in the pituitary gland (posterior part) - ADH increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water  allows water reabsorption  small volume of concentrated urine deficiency of ADH: DIABETES INSIPIDUS - polyuria - excretion of large amounts of diluted urine ( 10 – 20 l /day !)

  36. Potassium K (Kalium) K+ the main INTRAcellular cation (cytosol > 100 mmol/l) • human blood plasma: only 3.8 - 5.2 mmol/l • daily intake: ~ 4g of KCl excretion: URINE • proper concentrations of K+ and Na+  functions of membranes „membrane potential“ most cells – membrane potential relatively stable neurons, muscle cells – use changes of membrane potential for function !

Silver Ag (Argentum) precious metal ( + H2S  Ag2S black ! ) AgBr - photosensitive  photography ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ag - useful in dental alloys for fittings and fillings ( Ag + Hg  amalgam ) AgNO3 - caustic effect  treatment of warts  Bartholin’s gland abscess in women (removal: silver nitrate stick insertion) - diluted solution: antiseptic properties  it was dropped into newborn‘s eyes to prevent gonococcal conjuntivitis ! (Gonorrhoea is a venereal disease caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae)

  42. Gold Au (Aurum) precious metal chemically and biologically resistent, inert in nature – almost exclusively in the native state pure gold – soft ! in jewellery: alloys (+ Cu, + Ag)  harder The gold content of gold alloys in carats or in thousandths pure gold: 24 carats = 1000/1000 The standard for high quality jewellery: 18 carats = 750 / 1000 What is the gold content (g) of a 100 g piece marked 18 carats? 18 24 x 100g = 75 g
