43
What is/are the substrates of reaction 1? (in the forward direction)
ATP-Mg2+ and glucose
44
What is the mechanism of reaction 1?
Proximity effects.
Two binding sites for ATP-Mg2+ and glucose. Upon binding, changes confirmation, bringing the substrates together to cause the reaction to occur instantaneously.
45
What is/are the inhibitor(s) of reaction 1?
```
Competitive inhibitor - ATP (uncomplexed)
Allosteric inhibitor (G6P)
```
46
Reaction 1, in the forward direction is: exergonic or endergonic?
Exergonic
47
Do cancer cells upregulate or downregulate hexokinase?
upregulate
48
Under what conditions does uncomplexed ATP accumulate?
When energy is barely used and thus, ATP is plentiful. Mg2+ is no longer able to complex with all the ATP so glycolysis is interrupted and glycogen is made instead.
49
What is the substrate of reaction 2 in the forward direction?
G6P
50
What is the mechanism for reaction 2?
MG2+ is required!
| Specific for G6P/F6P
51
What is the main control for this reaction (2) and, what can be inferred from this?
The main control is concentration. We can infer that this reaction is reversible and that delta G is nearly zero.
52
G6P is a(n) _____hexose whilst F6P is a(n) _____hexose.
aldohexose - G6P
| ketohexose - F6P
53
What is the enzyme of reaction 3?

54
What is/are the substrate(s) of reaction 3 in the forward direction?
ATP-Mg2+ and F6P
55
How is this enzyme (PFK-1) controlled? What are its inhibitors/activators?
Important enzyme for regulation.
ATP and citrate are both inhibitors.
ATP is an allosteric inhibitor.
ADP, AMP and Fructose-2,6-biphosphate are allosteric activators.
56
What is adnylate kinase?
What occurs if ATP concentration is decreased?
If the kinase is active, what accumulates?
Enzyme that readily equilibrates 2 ADP into 1 ATP and 1 AMP.
Enzyme that is active when ATP levels are low and ADP levels are high.
K = [ATP][AMP]/[ADP]^2
Decreased ATP --> pushes reaction forward
If the kinase is active, AMP accumulates.
57
What are other features of this reaction (3)?
Commits the cell to glycolysis.
| Very exergonic
58
What is/are the substrate(s) of reaction 4?
FBP
59
What is the mechanism of reaction 4?
Aldolase catalyzes the cleavage of FBP by aldol condensation mechanism.
Products of this reaction are depleted rapidly and this reaction is pulled forward by reactions 5 and 6.
60
How is reaction 4 pulled forward if it is endergonic?
Reactions 5 and 6 quickly deplete the products of this reaction, pulling it forward.
61
How is reaction 4 controlled?
concentration control
62
What is the mechanism for reaction 5?
Reversible reaction catalyzed by acid-based catalysis. His95 and Glu165 of the enzyme are involved.
63
How is reaction 5 controlled?
endergonic, pulled forward as product is used up.
64
What occurs if step 5 is blocked?
Glycolysis proceeds at half the rate.
65
What is the most important fact about reaction 6?
It's the reaction responsible for the generation of energy in glycolysis as a whole.
66
Once again, reaction 6 is endergonic, how is it pulled foward?
Pulled forward by reaction 7.
| 1,3-BPG is very unstable.
67
In reaction 6, an _______ is converted to a _______ group.
aldehyde --> carboxyl
68
In reaction 6, oxidation of the aldehyde does two things. These are?
1 - Make a high-energy phosphate bond
| 2 - Produce a reduced moiety (NADH)
69
What is the oxidizing agent of this reaction? (6)
NAD+, which is reduced to NADH
70
What drives the formation of acylphosphate during reaction 6?
Free energy from the oxidation reaction.
71
What is the evidence supporting the GADPH reaction?
1 - Iodoacetate inhibits this reaction, indicating the involvement of a cysteine residue of the enzyme
2 - Tritium from GAP is trasnferred directly to NAD which indicates that the hydrogen transfer is under the form of a hydride ion
3 . Labelled ATP does not cause the product to be labelled. Pi is instead transferred providing evidence for the acyl enzyme intermediate.
72
What are the substrates for reaction 7?
1,3-BPG and ADP-Mg2+
73
What is the mechanism for reaction 7?
Proximity effect.
Coupled to reaction 6.

74
Where does the energy for this reaction come from? What is one reason for 1,3-BPG being desperate to hydrolyze?
Energy for this reaction comes from the highly energetic 1,3-BPG.
3-PG is resonance hybridized.

77
Is the product of the forward reaction of step 8 stable or not?
2-PG is stable
78
What is the mechanism for reaction 9?
Dehydration of 2-PG.
1 - Rapid extraction of a proton at C-2 by a general base of the enzyme, generating a carbanion
b - abstracted proton easily exchanged with solvent
2 - Rate limiting elimination of OH
79
How do we know that the exchange in reaction 9 involves a proton?
Tritiated 2-PG will cause water to become labeled. Thus, the exchange does not involve a hydride ion.
80

True, the reaction is very exergonic
