glycolysis n krebs Flashcards
why do we need glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle?
ETC is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria which is impermeable to the NADH that has been produced OUTSIDE the mitochondria (like in glycolysis) Howver the NADH produced in the mitochondria is fine because its already there
- NADH is used to reuced DHAP giving us glycerol 3 p. by the enzyme glycerol 3 p DH 1
- A similar enzyme is located in the outer mitchondrial membrane which glycerol 3 phosphate 2 uses FAD to take the H from glycerol 3 phosphate, reforming DHAP
- FADH2 gives the H to co enzyme q
how many NADH produced by glycolysis
2
substrate level phosphorylation
in glycolysis when we form ATP when 1,3 biphosphoglycerate gives a phosphate to ADP we form overall 2 atps and also the last step with pyruvate kinase
how does glucose enter the cell
through NA glucose transporter, examples of secondary active transport because the na gradient was created by a pump
GLUT 1 GLUT 2 3 4 5
- all cells but especially brain and RBC
- liver,SI,kidney (hyper) low affinity high KM
3.Brain neurons (hypo) high affinity but low Km
adipose tissue and muscle
5 enterocytes
what is the fate of glucose in liver
enzyme glucokinase makes glucose 6 phospate and then proceeds to make glycogen
glucose and pancrease
glucose enters glycolysis, atp produced increases ca2+ levels and then triggers insulin release by exocytosis
regulatory enzymes of glycolysis
ALL OF THE KINASES
1. hexokinase- inhibited by its products
2. phosphofructokinase
- :( ATP
:( reducing equivalents
:( citrate
:) activated by fructose 2,6 bisphosphate
3. PK
AAAF
:( alanine, acetyl coa , atp, fatty acids
:) fructose 1,6 biphosphate
comparison of hexokinase and glucokinase
H
- found in all cells
- not specific to just glucose
- inhibited by product glucose 6 p
- high affinity for glucose
- has 4 isoforms
- not activated by insulin
G
- found only in liver
- low affinity for glucose
- not inhibited by its product
- is most effective when the level of glucose is high in the blood so after a meal which means its activated insulin
committed step in glycolysis
phosphofructokinase
- highly regulated
- highly exergonic reaction
fate of pyruvate
depends on whether its anaerobic or aerobic
anaerobic- produce lactic acid (RBC, muscles) LDH
aerobic_ oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl co- A
what is an additional function of pyruvate
serves as a fuel source for cardiac muscle and brain nerurons
phosphofructokinase
major regulatory enzyme
- :( citrate (makes sense because its a catabolic process)
:) fructose 2,6 bisphosphate (is an indicator of high glucose level)
:( ATP + reducing equivalents
fructose 1,6 bisphosphate and fructose 2,6 biphosphate
1,6 - :) PK
2,6 :) phosphofrcutokinase
regulation of pyruvate kinase
AAAF- atp,alanine,acetyl coa , fatty acids
:) fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
similar to glycogen synthase is active in its OH form
insulin - activate
glucagon-inactivate
when do you mention the glycerol 3 phosphate
glycolysis
fatty acid synthesis
