Q

what is the first stage of glycolysis

A

Glucose enters the cell’s cytoplasm. Upon entry, an enzyme adds two phosphate groups to glucose in a process known as phosphorylation. These phosphate groups are available due to the breakdown of two ATP molecules.

As a result, this produces a new molecule called hexose bisphosphate.

115
Q

An intermediate molecule in the Krebs cycle is isocitrate. This 6 carbon molecule is converted to alpha ketoglutarate, a 5 carbon molecule, by the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase.
Isocitrate dehydrogenase is activated by the binding of a molecule of ADP

Using your knowledge of enzymes, explain how isocitrate dehydrogenase is activated

A

Binding of ADP causes a change in the active site of the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme. This causes the active site to change shape and become complementary to isocitrate, so it is able to bind. The enzyme is now activated.

116
Q

Isocitrate dehydrogenase can be inhibited by the addition of a molecule named Compound 9, which is similar in structure to isocitrate.
Using your knowledge of enzymes, suggest how Compound 9 inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase.

A

Compound $9$ acts as a competitive inhibitor and attaches to the active site of isocitrate dehydrogenase. This reduces or prevents the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes between the enzyme and isocitrate. Therefore, isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited.
