lecture 4 glycolysis Flashcards
glucose has 3 paths
storage-> glycogen, starch
oxidation via glycolysis->pyruvate
oxidation via pentose phosphate pathway-> Ribose 5-phosphate
glycolysis
sweet splitting
glucose catabolism
carried out by all cells in cytoplasm
ten reactions
same in all cells
products of glycolysis
pyruvate,atp,NADH
3 fates for pyruvate
aerobic oxidation (CO2+H2O)
anaerobic oxidation into lactate
anaerobic fermentation into alcohol
3 catabolic fates of pyruvate
hypoxic or anaerobic conditions -> 2 ethanol +2CO2
aerobic conditions(CO2 LEAVES)-> Acetyl CoA-> citric acid cycle-> 4 CO2+ 4 H2O
anaerobic conditions -> 2 Lactate (in muscle, erythrocytes, some microorganisms)
one molecule of glucose 6C
degrades to 2 pyruvate molecules 3C
net energy yield of glycolysis
2 ATP and 2 NADH per glucose
glucose + 2NAD+ + 2ADP + 2 Pi
2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H++ 2 ATP + 2 H2O
glucose + 2 NAD+
2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2H+
2ADP + 2 Pi
2 ATP + 2 H2o
overall reaction
is irreversible and exergonic but more energy remains to be extracted
- prepatory phase
4 phases
converts 6 C sugar to 2 3C sugars
USES 2 ATP
payoff phase
6 steps
Converts 2 3C sugars to 2 pyruvates
MAKES 4 ATP (2 from each 3 C sugar)
- phsophorylation of glucose to glucose 6- phosphate
(Mg2+) metal cofactor of hexokinase shields - charges
large negative delta G
priming reaction- ATP is consumed
“traps glucose as glucose 6P which does not diffuse or bind to glucose transporters
- phosphorylation of Fructose- 6P to fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
(Mg2+)
phosphofructokinase-1
phosphoryl group transfer
first committed step, fructose 1,6 P is only targeted for glycolysis
second “priming reaction”
PFK1 activity is highly regulated by ATP levels in the cell
Activity is high when [ATP] is low
Activity is low when [ATP] is high
feedback inhibition
- cleavage of fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
NO Mg
aldolase
aldol condensation
generates isomers:
DHAP and GAP
point where pyruvate formation takes parallel paths
