How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry? Erwin Schrdinger, What is Life?
Metabolism
Sum of chemical and physical reactions carried out by cell
Catabolism - breakdown of nutrients and cell components to generate energy and common precursors (building blocks); reactions are generally exergonic oxidations:- DG Anabolism - synthesis of biomolecules - endergonic :+ DG Obligate aerobes - use O2 for oxdtn; animals Obligate anaerobes - O2 toxic; use other oxidants e.g., sulfate, nitrate -some bacteria Facultative anaerobes - can use O2 or other oxidants - e.g., E. coli Energy storage High energy phosphate bonds; ATP: thioesters Reduced cofactors: NADH, NADPH, FADH2 Generated by catabolic processes; Consumed by anabolic processes Intercoverted by oxidative phosphorylation

Carboxyl terminus
Note that within a peptide, the a-amino and a-carboxyl ionizations are suppressed, except for the amino terminus and the carboxyl terminus. However, side-chain ionizations are maintained.

Figure 1 Schematic of MALDI process and instrument. (A) A sample cocrystallized with the matrix is irradiated by a laser beam, leading to sublimation and ionization of peptides. (B) About 100500 ns after the laser pulse, a strong acceleration field is switched on (delayed extraction), which imparts a fixed kinetic energy to the ions produced by the MALDI process. These ions travel down a flight tube and are turned around in an ion mirror, or reflector, to correct for initial energy differences. The mass-to-charge ratio is related to the time it takes an ion to reach the detector; the lighter ions arrive first. The ions are detected by a channeltron electron multiplier.

1) Proteinase digestion of protein 2) ESI-MS to generate peptide ions from digest (MS-1) 3) Collision cell to generate fragments of each ion 4) MS analysis of fragment ions (MS-2) 5) In this example, Peptide P3 fragments into F1 - F5 which are overlapping, allowing sequence to be deduced.
