MCP: Glycolysis and glycogen Flashcards
linear glucose with 1,4 alpha linkages
Amylose
branched with alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 linkages
Amylopectin
disaccharide: galactose + glucose with Beta 1,4
Lactose
disaccharide: glucose + fructose alpha 1,2
Sucrose
branched polysaccharide: glucose alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6
Glycogen
linear polysaccharide: glucose beta 1,4
cellulose (undigestible)
alpha- amylase
randomly hydrolyzes alpha 1,4 linkages
brush boarder
glycosidases attached to and produced by intestinal epithelial cells
glucoamylase maltase isomaltase sucrase lactase
exo, cleaves alpha-1,4 between glucoses cleaves alpha-1,4 in maltose and maltotriose cleaves alpha-1,6 in isomaltose and alpha-dextrine cleaves alpha-1,2 in sucrose cleaves beta-1,4 in lactose
Hexokinase
- enzyme for first step in glycolysis phosphorylates glucose –> glucose-6-phosphate 2. In muscle changes fructose to F6P 3. Mannose–> M6P
glucokinase
weaker form of hexokinase in the liver because the liver release glucose wen the body is on nead
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI)
isomerization of G6P –> Fructose-6-phosphate
phosphofructokinase (PFK)
Phosphorylate F6P –> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP)
Aldolase
FGP–> GAP + DHAP
Triose phosphate isomerase
flips between DHAP GAP
