A#321 - A Diet to Die For - Case Study HWK

Read through the next several slides. Feel free to jot down notes on the science behind the drug and how it works. This will help you answer questions later on.

name of the drug might be important : )

LD₅₀ is the amount of a substance that causes the death of 50% of the group taking it. It is an important part of pharmaceutical testing.

This is a good slide to refer back to - what is measured and what it means when it comes to different experiments.

If you need some help with this graph - think about 1)what are your reactants - if you have them, then you can make ATP - you need ADP + P plus a source of energy (something oxidizeable). 2) If you inhibit part of the ETC, then you reduce the amount of H+ ions, and so what will happen to the amount of ATP produced?

Now draw your graph of ATP production at each of the three pts - when you have ADP + P, when you add succinate, and finally, when you add cyanide. Now repeat the thought process, but for oxygen consumption.

We will continue to work on this Monday in class
