glycolysis Flashcards
what kind of reaction is glycolysis
REDOX
name 3 enzymes involved
dehydrogenases
isomerases
kinases
what substances can be phosphorylated
glucose and similar sugars
proteins
impact on phosphorylated protein
activation or inhibition
why can only some AA can be phosphorylated
have an OH group in their side chain
consequence of glucose phosphorylation
glucose can no longer leave the cell as transporters not complementary
substrate level phosphorylation
transfer of Pi to ADP to make ATP, in a coupled reaction
this needs energy, and is using energy from another reaction
oxidative phosphorylation
transfer of Pi to ADP to make ATP, using energy from the ETC
cytosol
liquid part of cytoplasm, but with no organelles or nucleus
cytoplasm
cytosol, and everything in it, eg organelles, but no nucleus
end product of glycolysis
pyruvate
big step 1,2 of glycolysis
invest ATP - to make a high energy/unstable compound
generate ATP - by splitting a high energy/ unstable compound
pyruvate dehydrogenase
aerobic resp
converts pyruvate into acetate
decarboxylation
dehydrogenation makes NADH
lactate dehydrogenase
catalyses both ways of reversible reaction
anaerobic resp
lactate to pyruvate making NADH
or
when enoiugh o2
pyruvate to lactate making NAD+
serum
blood liquid parts, and cells in blood, but no clotting factors
cancer cell adaptation
more glucose transporters
method of treating cancer cells due to more glucose transporters
radioactively labelled glucose transporters to find cancer cell location
glucose phosphorylation
add Pi to 6’ C on glucose
glycolysis general eqn
glucose+2Pi+2ATP—>2ATP+2NADH+2pyruvate
investment phase (constructive)
Phosphorylation
Isomerisation
Phosphorilation
Split
hexokinase
PHOSPHORYLATION
ATP->ADP+Pi
Adds a Pi to 6’C of glucose
Forms glucose6phosphate
