Physical Chemistry in Biochemistry
The Most Important Topics

Physical chemistry deals with application of physics to
macroscopic, microscopic, atomic, subatomic, and particulate
phenomena in chemical systems within the field of chemistry
traditionally using the principles, practices and concepts of
thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics and
kinetics.
 It is mostly defined as a large field of chemistry, in which several
sub-concepts are applied; the inclusion of quantum mechanics is
used to illustrate the application of physical chemistry to atomic
and particulate chemical interaction or experimentation.

Thermodynamic laws
Thermodynamics
– science dealing with energy transports by physical and chemical
processes (shortened version)
- the study of the conversion of heat energy into different forms of
energy (in particular, mechanical, chemical, and electrical energy);
different energy conversions into heat energy; and its relation to
macroscopic variables such as temperature, pressure, and volume.
Its underpinnings, based upon statistical predictions of the
collective motion of particles from their microscopic behavior, is
the field of statistical thermodynamics, a branch of statistical
mechanics (full definition)

Thermodynamic laws
Closed system – does not exchange either mass or energy (E = mc2)
Open system – exchanges mass and/or energy
vs.
Closed system – does not exchange mass; exchanges energy only
Open system – exchanges mass and/or energy
Isolated system – does not exchange either mass or energy
Vs.
Isolated Systems – matter and energy may not cross the boundary
Adiabatic Systems – heat must not cross the boundary
Diathermic Systems - heat may cross boundary
Closed Systems – matter may not cross the boundary
Open Systems – heat, work, and matter may cross the boundary (often called a
control volume in this case)

First Law of Thermodynamics
Sum of all energies in closed system is constant, irrespective of
running physical or chemical processes – work is changed into
energy and energy into work (In a closed system (see below) the
total inflow of energy must equal the total outflow of energy.
dU = dw + dq (correctly should be , not d, it is not the total
differential)
U - internal energy, w - work, q – heat

inordinance of the system increases its entropy); Q…heat, T…temperature

The total entropy of any isolated thermodynamic system tends to increase over
time, approaching a maximum value.

The heat cannot spontaneously pass from the colder body to the warmer one.

The entropy of an isolated system is constant or increasing.

It is not possible to construct the periodically working machine, which would
utilize the heat from one accumulator only and which would perform the work
exactly equivalent to this heat.

It is not possible to construct perpetum mobile of the second type.

All spontaneous processes are realized with increasing entropy, with increasing
disorderliness of the system.

Thermodynamic laws III
Third law of thermodynamics
lim S  0
T 0
- the entropy of all systems and of all states of a system is zero at absolute zero
- it is impossible to reach the absolute zero of temperature by any finite number of
processes
Energy types
1. Free energy – „noble“, it can be free transported, transformed
(chemical, electric)
2. Bound energy – heat, which can be transported (flow) only in
the direction of the heat gradient. Transformation to other types
of energy can be realized only, when the warmer body gives its
energy to the colder one.

Thermodynamic laws VI - Terminology
Reversible: system is passing through huge amount of small state
changes, by which it is always in equilibrium with surroundings; in
any moment it is possible to stop it and to change the direction of
the process
Irreversible: all changes, which differs from the reversible process
Isobaric: P = const. (pressure)
Isothermic: T = const. (temperature)
Isochoric: V = const. (volume)
Adiabatic: q = const. (heat)
Phys.Chem. 2015/2016
Exothermic reaction : ΔH < 0
Endothermic reaction : ΔH > 0
Spontaneous reaction: ΔG < 0 (ΔG= ΔH-TΔS)
Unspontaneous reaction: ΔG> 0
Equilibrium ΔG = 0
Thermochemistry
Reaction heat: heat, which the system gains (released), if under
constant pressure the chemical reaction in extension of 1 mol is
realized according to the given equation, provided that the
temperature of the system before the reaction is the same as after
the reaction and that reactants as well as products are in the phase
given in reaction equation.
C(s)+O2(g)=CO2(g)
Phys.Chem. 2015/2016
Thermochemical laws
First thermochemical law (Lavoisier-LaPlace’s)
The total heat released by the chemical reaction is equal to that one,
consumed by the reversed direction of the reaction.
A ↔B;ΔHA→B = -ΔHB→A
Second thermochemical law (Hess’s)
If a chemical reaction is realized in a few sequential steps, the sum of the
energy, released (consumed) in single steps, is equal to the total energy,
which would be released (consumed), if the reaction would be realized
directly in the only one step.
A→ B → C; ΔHA→C = ΔHA→B + ΔHB→C
It enables to determine the caloric value of foods by their burning up, although in human
body are they metabolized in plenty of gradual steps (glucose, lipids etc.).
Calculation of reaction heat is realized from combination heats (heat, which is released
(consumed) by formation o 1 mol of the compound directly from atoms under constant
pressure and temperature) or from combustion heats (heat, which is released, by
combustion of 1 mol of compound in pure oxygen by formation of most stable oxidizing

Le Chatelier's principle
If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature,
volume, or partial pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to counter-act the imposed change.
Phys.Chem. 2015/2016
Chemical equilibrium II
[C].[D] = [B].[A]=> K=1
[C].[D] > [B].[A] => K>1 – prevailing products
[C].[D] < [B].[A] => K<1 –prevailing reactants
Oscillating reactions: e.g., Zhabotinsky
To influence the course of the reversible reaction (its direction), it
is necessary to work in open system.
If one component of the reaction is removed, the system produces
the removed amount continuously to reach (restore) the
equilibrium. Thereby we can reach practically total realization of
the reaction in the direction, in which it practically does not run in
closed system (K<<1).

2. Increase of starting compounds quantity

3. By inequal number of molls of starting compounds and final product
in gaseous system (2A + B = C) the change of pressure
4. Change of temperature (exothermic – the rate decreases with
increasing temperature; endothermic – the rate increases with
increasing temperature)
All reactions in living systems are realized in open systems,
consequential, consecutive reaction takes off products of previous
reaction, whereby the equilibrium (steady) state is disturbed and so
influences the course of the reaction.
A+B=C+D → D+E=F+G → G+H=I+J → J+K=L+M
The compound M is as the final product of the metabolism removed from
the (living) system away, e.g., by respiration or excretion.
Catalyzers influence the reaction rate, but not the equilibrium. They are
enabling other reaction way, energetic of the reaction, but not the

Reaction of more than 2nd order is realized in fact stepwise,
gradually, as the reaction composed of more reaction substeps. For the reaction rate is the controlling the slowest one).

It follows that the increase of the
temperature essentially increases
the reaction rate – exponentially.

This fact is commonly used by
homonotermn organisms, e.g., by
defense reactions, such reactions
run at higher temperature faster and
they are more effective.

Redox reactions in living organism
Living organisms commonly use redox reactions as energy
sources. A number of organic compounds exist in oxidized form as
well as in reduced form and therefore they can be involved in the
transport of electrons. In these processes the organisms gain the
energy necessary for life. Transferred electrons enable, e.g., transport
of protons (H+) through membranes and enable the changes of pH.
Accumulated protons by reverse transport through the membrane can
supply the energy for the transport of other compounds or for the
synthesis of ATP.
From redox potential of two equal redox systems we can
calculate ΔGo of the chemical reaction ΔGo = -zF ΔE’o (z – number
of transported electrons) by the change of the redox potential ΔE’o
(ΔE’o - „biologic“ standard reduction potential – standard system
state for pH=7) [Ared]=[Aox].
Phys.Chem. 2015/2016
Redox reactions in living organism II
During the aerobe transformation of compounds (metabolism) is
realized (in principle) strong exergonic reaction (and exothermic)
redox reaction: 2H2+O2→2H2O. The high energetic electrons of
hydrogen are transported on oxygen in many sequential steps. Their
energy is used for living processes of the cell (organism). These
processes are studied in biochemistry. As electron carrier are often
used metals bound on peptides.
Spontaneous reaction = exergonic (exothermic)
Non-spontaneous reaction = endergonic (endothermic)
2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(g) ΔGo =-242 kJ.mol-1 – exothermic (burning)
2H2O(g) → 2H2(g)+O2(g) ΔGo =242 kJ.mol-1 – endothermic,
equilibrium is shifted to the left, only by high temperature and
decreased pressure starts the decomposition (at 2100 oC and 0.1 MPa
reacts 2 % of molecules only) .

Hybridization of DNA (RNA) is based on the principle of
double helix formation from two complementary
strands
This principle is used in various moidification in routine
analysis:
• Detection of some nucleotide sequences
• Detection of mutations, „polymorphisms“ in some sequences of genome
• Determination of gen expressions
Phys.Chem. 2015/2016
From practical reason is one end of the probe
connected to the solid surface
Immobilized probe is exposed to the analyzed DNA (RNA) sample
If the sample contains the chain of DNA (RNA) with
complementary sequence to the probe („target sequence “), the
double helix („duplex“, „hybrid“) is formed on the solid surface

Catalysis

Catalysis is the process, in which the rate (not equilibrium) of a chemical reaction is
increased (decreased, respectively) by means of a chemical substance known as a
catalyst.

Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not
consumed.

The catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations, although in
practice catalysts are secondary processes.

it changes the reaction mechanism, it changes the activation energy, it is involved in
the formation of the activation complex

Example:
Catalytic production of sulphuric acid
Sulfuric acid is produced from sulfur, oxygen and water via the contact process.
In the first step, sulfur is burned to produce sulfur dioxide.
(1) S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
This is then oxidised to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a
vanadium(V) oxide catalyst.
(2) 2 SO2 + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) (in presence of V2O5)
Finally the sulfur trioxide is treated with water (usually as 97-98% H2SO4
containing 2-3% water) to produce 98-99% sulfuric acid.
(3) SO3(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO4(l)

Competitive inhibition
Some molecules inhibit catalysis by competing for the active sites. The
strongest inhibitors are called poisons.
CH3OH  HCOOH

Non-competitive inhibition

The inhibitor (substrate) binds to the enzyme at a site other than the
catalyst's active site (this other site is called an allosteric site).

Km is not changed (active site is free for the substrate)

Vmax is decreased, because the concentration of E-S complex decreases

In this mode of inhibition, there is no competition between the
inhibitor and the substrate, so increasing the concentration of the
substrate still does not allow the maximum enzyme activity rate to be
reached.
