glycolysis Flashcards
what glucose units are absorbed by intestine and transported to bloodstream
D-glucose
what do amylases do
- randomly break down internal alpha 1-4 bonds
what will amylase not digest
cellulose
where is amylase located
in saliva and small intestine
what type of digestion doesn’t occur in the stomach
starch because it is stopped by HCL
what sugar is in the small intestine
alpha glucosidase (maltase)
what is D glucose
absorbed by intestine and transported to the bloodstreem
what bonds have energy
c-h, c-c and c-oH
you can capture energy from oxidizing what
carbon
what is an example of oxidizing energy from carbon
- make reduced redox factors NADH
- high energy compounds like PEP and 1,3 BPG
what is the most reduced state of carbon
CH2
what is the most oxidized state of carbon
CO2
where does glycolysis occur in prok
in the cytosol
in euk where does glycolysis occur
in the cytosol
where does Krebs, ETC/Ox phos occur
in the mitochondria
what do they do to the C’s in glycolysis
oxidize them to release energy
what do they capture some of the enrgy as
NADH and use it to make high energy phosphate 1,3-BPG and PEP
what do they make ATP from
substrate level phosphorylation
what atom do the steps involving atp + enolase
need Mg+2 because it is a metal ion cat
what are the main control points for glycolysis
step 1
step 3
step 10
how many Kcal do carbohydrates have
4 Kcal
what is the name of the glucose transporter and what transport does it do
GLUT4
in glut4 what does hexokinase do
traps Gle as G6P in cytosol
what does Metal ion catalysis by charge shielding do to the gamma phosphorous
makes it more accessible for nucleophillic attack C-6 oH
when fructose turns into glucose what intermediate is used
the enediol
describe phosphoglucose isomerase
- rxn is reversible
-general acid base catalysis - enediol intermediae
describe phosphofructokinase PFK
- reversible step
- adds phosphate groups to other molecules
-MAIN CONTROL POINT
what does aldolase do
enzyme tht turns 1,6FBP to GAP and DHAP
describe aldolase
-lyase that removes dhap and gives double bond
- reversible because lyases are reversible
what clevage does aldolase go through
aldol cleavage
- retro/reverse aldol condensation
Triose Phosphate isomerase
- reversible
-general acid base catalysis
-enediol intermediate
does equilibriym favor DHAP or GAP
it favors DHAP
what type of motif does triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) have
alpha/beta barrel fold
glycolysis stage II starts with what
GAP3DH) its a dehydrogenase
why is glyceraldehye-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase important
it generates the first high energy intermeduate
what does GAP3DH use to generate the intermediatre
inorganic Pi
what are dehydrogenases
reeox enzymes (oxireductases)
