Lecture 6: Glycolysis: Enzymatic Reactions Flashcards
glycolysis pathway
ANAEROBIC
doesnt need oxygen
what does gycolysis do?
cleaves glucose into 2 pyruvates
net yeild of 2ATP
what are the two stages of glycolysis
ATP investment stage
ATP earning stage
glucose chemical equation
C6H12O6
pyruvate chemical equation
C3H3O3
What do they 3 enzymes do (boradly)
catalyze very exergonic reactions (irreversible)
these drive metabolic flux
Substrate level phosphorylation
use phosphoryl transfer rxns independent of mitochondrial ATP synthase complex
directly phosphorylaye ADP to make ATP
2 happen in glycolysis
Facts about glycolysis and its importance in nature
1) ancient, it evolved very early on
2) primary way to make ATP under anaerobic conditions (also in cells lacking mitochondria)
3) Metabolites of glycolysis are precursors for interependent patways (like mitochondrial ATP synth)
ex) pyruvate!!!!!
What does glycolysis accomplish for the cell?
generates 2ATP/glucose (small amount) (crit for anaerobic condtions)
generates pyruvate (used to make acetyl-CoA also lactate and sometimes ethanol
Overall net reaction of glycolysis?
Glucose+ 2NAD + 2ADP +2Pi–> 2 pyruvate + 2NADH +2H+ + 2 ATP +2H2O
deltaG^0’=-35.5kJ/mol
WHat are the key regulated enzymes in glycolysis?
Hexokinase
Phosphofructokinase-1
Pyruvate Kinase
What are examples of glycolysis in real life?
anaerobic conditions
intense exercise
where does glycolysis take place?
in the cytosol!
where is bulk of ATP generated
in mitochondria
by oxidative phosphorylation
chem equation for complete glucose oxidation
Glucose+ 6O2–> 6CO2 + 6H2O
deltaG^0’=+30.5kJ/mol
