Q

What is the mechanism for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) dehydrogenase?

A
  1. The cysteine residue in the enzyme acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon at C1
  2. This attack ultimately kicks out a hydride, which then attacks the NAD+ molecule
  3. The enzyme is covalently bound to the molecule; an inorganic phosphate attacks the carbonyl carbon at C1, expelling the enzyme
  4. 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is formed

Q

Is the sixth step of glycolysis reversible?

A

Yes

  1. The cysteine residue in the enzyme acts as a nucleophile, attacking the C1 of carbonyl and expelling inorganic phosphate
  2. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in NADH move and expel a hydride ion, which attacks the enzyme-transition state intermediate carbonyl and ultimately “kicks out” the enzyme
  3. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate has been reformed

Q

What is the mechanism for the eighth step of glycolysis catalyzed by phosphoglycerate mutase?

A

A phosphoryl shift

  1. A deprotonated histidine residue abstracts a proton from the hydroxyl group on C2
  2. An oxygen atom acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic phosphorus on the phosphohistidine residue
  3. The dephosphorylated histidine then attacks the phosphate group on C3, restoring its phosphorylated status, and oxygen picks up a proton from the other protonated histidine residue
21
Q

What intermediate produced in the eighth step of glycolysis is also important in regulating hemoglobin?

A

2,3-bisphosphoglycerate

22
Q

The ninth step of glycolysis forms the high-energy compound ______________________.

A

Phosphoenolpyruvate

23
Q

The formation of phosphoenolpyruvate is catalyzed by what enzyme?

24
Q

What is the mechanism of action for enolase?

A

Dehydration and general-acid catalysis

25
Q

Enolase requires a metal ion. What metal ion does it require?

26
Q

What is the reverse mechanism for phosphoglycerate mutase?

27
Q

What is the role of Mg2+ in the enolase mechanism?

A

It makes the proton even more acidic

28
Q

What is the point of forming phosphoenolpyruvate?

A

It is a high energy compound that can be used to make ATP - 2-phosphoglycerate cannot

29
Q

What is the mechanism for enolase?

A
  1. A lysine residue abstracts the proton from C2, forming an unstable carbanion
  2. The lone pair delocalizes to the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group, which is stabilized by the magnesium ion
  3. The oxygen atom “kicks back” and expels water from C3 by deprotonating a glutamate residue
  4. Phosphoenolpyruvate is formed
30

A

Histidine

Glutamate

31
