Introduction
Metabolism is the collection of enzymecatalyzed reactions that convert substrates that are external to the cell into various internal products.

Introduction:
Metabolism, Genetic Engineering and Bioprocessing
Genetic Engineering allows for the alteration of metabolism by insertion or deletion of selected genes in a predetermined manner (Metabolic Engineering).
An understanding of metabolic pathways in the organism of interest is of primary importance in bioprocess development.

Characteristics of Metabolism
1. Varies from organisms to organism 2. Many common characteristics 3. Affected by environmental conditions
? a) O2 availability: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Aerobic growth on glucose more yeast cells Anaerobic growth on glucose ethanol
? b) Control of metabolism is important in bioprocesses

Types of Metabolism
Catabolism
Metabolic reactions in the cell that degrade a substrate into smaller / simpler products.
Glucose CO2
Anabolism
Metabolic reactions that result in the synthesis of larger / more complex molecules.

Bioenergetics
The source of energy to fuel cellular metabolsim is "reduced" forms of carbon (sugars, hydrocarbons, etc.)
The Sun is the ultimate source via the process of Photosynthesis in plants
CO2 + H2O + hv CH2O + O2

ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate
Catabolism of carbon-containing substrates generates high energy biomolecules
adenine
3 high-energy phosphate bonds
ribose

ATP - Reactions
Release of energy
ATP + H2O ADP + Pi; Go = -7.3 kcal/mole
Storage of energy
ADP + H2O AMP + Pi; Go = -7.3 kcal/mole
Analogs of ATP
GTP = guanosine triphosphate
UTP = uridine triphosphate
CTP = cytidine triphosphate

Glucose Metabolism:
Catabolic Pathways of Primary Importance
1. Glycolysis: from glucose to pyruvate.
2. Krebs or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for conversion of pyruvate to CO2.
3. Respiration or electron transport chain for formation of ATP by transferring electrons from NADH to an electron acceptor (O2 under aerobic conditions).

Glycolysis: in Eucaryotes
? Fermentation of Glucose Pyruvate ? no O2 required ? Occurs in the Cytoplasm
Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 NAD+ + 2 Pi 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 (NADH + H+)
In Eucaryotes, Cytoplasm to Mitochondria

Krebs or TCA Cycle
? In Mitochondria of eucaryotes ? provides e- (NADH) and ultimately energy (ATP) for
biosynthesis ? provides intermediates for amino acid synthesis ? generates energy (GTP)
