Biochemical Reactions
Chemical reactions associated with
biological processes
Often involve a combination of more than
one type of reaction
Four main types of reactions:
Neutralization
Oxidation-Reduction
Condensation
Hydrolysis
Acylation

Acid-Base Reactions
Acid: produces H+ ions in water
pH value less than 7
Base: produces OH- ions in water or accepts H+
ions
pH value more than 7
Neutralization Reaction: interaction of an acid
and a base to form a salt (an ionic compound)
and water
www.company.com
Neutralization Reaction
Necessary to maintain a constant pH state within
the body
Buffers: resist changes in pH
Release H+ ions when fluid is too basic
Take up H+ ions when fluid is too acidic

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Involves the transfer of electrons
Oxidation: loss of electrons
Reduction: gain of electrons
Electrons are highly reactive and dont
exist on their own in cells
If oxidation occurs to one molecule in the cell,
reduction must immediately to another
molecule
The entire reaction is often called a
redox reaction

Condensation Reactions
Involved in the assembly of all Also known
as
four types of macromolecules dehydration
An H atom is removed from a synthesis
functional group on one molecule,
and an OH group is removed from
another molecule
Result: a larger molecule + water
(water out, monomer in)
www.company.com
Hydrolysis Reactions
Involved in the breakdown of
macromolecules into their
monomers
Water is added to break the
bonds between monomers
(water in, monomer out)
H from the water is added to
one molecule, and the OH
group is added to the adjacent
monomer
Covalent bond between
monomers breaks to form two
smaller molecules
www.company.com
Uses hydrolase class of enzymes : Esterase
Enzyme or Amidase Enzyme
Removing water to create larger molecules
Adding water to split larger molecules into smaller
molecules

1- Esterase enzymes:
Usually present in plasma and various tissues, are nonspecific and
catalyze de-esterification. Hydrolysis of nonpolar esters into two polar
and more water soluble compounds (i.e. acid and alcohol).
