Biochemistry – the chemistry of life : We can define living organisms as self-replicating systems. Life on earth is water-based and involves membrane-bound cells that are self-repairing and self-replicating. These highly ordered cells exist in a universe that is inexorably randomizing and do so by “feeding” on available free energy to enable the energy-requiring synthesis, maintenance and replication

6 Protein processing and post-translational modification 7 Protein targeting : Proteins are typically made as pro-proteins and are then subsequently modified by “post- translational processing” involving selective proteolysis (“trimming”) and addition of other groups. Thus, nascent polypeptides commence with N-formylmethionine ( bacteria) or methionine (eukaryotes). However, N-terminal sequences are often removed in proteolytic processing. In many eukaryote proteins, the final N-terminal amino …

Ion pumps, ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels : As outlined in Chapter 3, cell excitability can in part be determined by the maintenance of gradients of Na, K and Cl ions. Differential plasma membrane (PM) permeabilities to such ions and the gradients of ion concentration contribute to the transmembrane potential

Plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors : A major hormone signal transduction mechanism involves heterotrimeric guanyl nucleotide- binding protein (G protein) complexes. Hormone binding to a specific plasma membrane (PM)-located G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) gives a hormone–receptor complex

Inhibitors of digestion and metabolism : Apart from photosynthesis, vacuolar metabolite storage and cell wall construction, plant metabolism is strategically and in detail much like the aerobic metabolism of other eukaryotes, that is, based on conservation of free energy through coupling formation of ATP to the
