Glycolysis Step 1

Glucose converted to Glucose 6 Phosphate
Mediated by Hexokinase/Glucokinase
ATP expended
Traps Glucose in cell and can go into several pathways
Step 2-5

Step 2
Conversion of G6P to Fructose 6 phosphate
Mediated by phosphoglucose isomerase: aldose to ketose
Step 3
F6P converted to Fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
Medieated by phosphofructokinase 1: rate limiting step
Requires ATP and is irreversible
Commits to glycolysis
Step 4
F 1,6 BP cleaved to form Dihydrooxyactone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate
Mediated by aldolase
DHAP isomerized to glyceraldehyde 3 P
Step 5-7

Step 5
Glyceraldehyde 3 P to 1,3 Bisphosphoglycerate
Enzyme: glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase
Requires Pi and NAD+ to NADH
oxidizes aldehyde and tranfers electrons to NAD+ Forms high energy thioester bond w/ enzyme that accepts Pi
Step 6
1,3 BPG converted to 3-phosphoglycerate
Mediated by phosphoglycerate kinase
High energy acyl phosphate from last step put on ADP
Forms ATP in substrate level phosphoylation
Step 7
3 phosphoglycerate to 2 phosphoglycerate
Enzyme: phosphoglycero-mutase
low energy phosphoester converted to high energy bond in 2 steps
This step moves phosphate to 2nd carbon to form 2PG
Step 8
Second step in forming high energy bond:
2 PG converted to phosphoenol pyruvate w/ H2O loss
Enzyme: enolase
enolphosphate bond is high energy and can be used to form another ATP (next step)
Step 9
PEP converted to pyruvate by pyruvate kinase
ATP formed by transfer of phosphate to ADP
Glycerol-3-phosphate Shuttle
Allows oxidation of NADH back to NAD+
Carries the reducing equivelants across inner mito mem
major shuttle of most tissues
NAD+ regenerated by glycerol 3-P dehydrogenase
transfers electorns to DHAP to form G3P
G3P enters inner membrane and passes e- to FAD
glycerophosphate dehydrogenase donates e- to CoQ of ETC to form ATP
Malate Aspartate Shuttle
NAD+ regenerated by malate dehydrogenase: transfers e- from NADH to oxaloacetate to form malate
malate crosses membrane in exchange for alpha-KG
Malate oxidized to oxaloacetate in matrix by malate DH
NADH formed and donates e- to ETC to form ATP
Oxaloacetate transaminated to form aspartate that exits
aspartate converted back to oxaloacetate in cytosol
Anaerobic Glycolysis
Pyyruvate converted to lactate via latate dehydrogenase
Produces less ATP but runs faster using more glucose to compensate–> requires high levels of glycolytic enzymes
Results in acid production, H+: can cause lactic acidosis
RBC, WBC kidney medulla, eye, and skeletal muscle relay on anaerobic glycolysis
Fate of Lactate
Taken up by liver, heart and muscle and converted back to pyruvate
Liver synthesizes glucose by gluconeogenesis: Cori Cycle
Other tissues convert lactate to pyruvate and send to TCA cycle
Heart is capable of using lactate as fuel
