26
what are the 3 irreverislbe steps in glycolysis?
1. glucose --> glucose 6-phosphate (via hexokinase) 2. fructose 6-phosphate --> fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (via phosphofructokinase 1) *main switch - rate limiting/commiting step 3. phosphoenolypyruvate --> pyruvate (via pyruvate kinase)

30
anaerobic vs aerobic glycolysis for use of NADH

34
gluconeogenesis purpose and location
make glucose from non-carb precursors in liver and kidneys provide glucose to other tissues fasting
35
is gluconeogenesis the reversal of glycolysis? and why or why not?
no bc irreversible steps with kinases 1.pyruvate --> oxaloacetate 2. fructose 1,6 bisphosphate --> fructose 6 phosphate 3. glucose 6 phosphate --> glucose
36
3 substrates for gluconeogenesis and where they enter
1. lactate (at pyruvate) 2. glycerol (1st convert into glycerol 3-phosphate via glycerol kinase to trap it, then convert and join gluconeogenesis at dihydroxyacetone phosphate) 3. glucogenic amino acids --> alanine (at pyruvate)
37

39
lactate and the cori cycle and enters gluconeogenesis
-product of anaerobic glycolysis -lactate goes from tissues to liver via blood -once in the liver made into pyruvate for gluconeogenesis -cori cycle: 4 lactate from anaerobic glycolysis in muscles is transported to liver and converted to glucose ... return to muscles (cycle)
40
glycerol entering gluconeogenesis -where is it from? where does it enter
-from lipolysis of triglycerides -enters gluconeogenesis by being converted into dihydroxyacetone phosphate
41
glucogenic amino acids -what are they, how do they enter gluconeogenesis, what needs to occur, what coenzyme used
**alanine and glutamine -all amino acids expect leucine and lysine -made into pyruvate or CAC intermediate (into oxaloacetate) -alanine --> pyruvate using alanine transaminase enzyme and coenzyme derived from B6; PLP (pyridoxal phosphate) --> use transamination
42
transamination
transfer amino group from amino acid to an alpha keto acid alanine (AA) + alpha ketoglutarate (AKA) --> pyruvate (KA) + glutamate (AA)
43
shuttle systems
-gluconeogenesis beings in the mitochondria -alanine --> pyruvate in mitochondria -lactate --> pyruvate in cytosol and shuttled into mitochondria -once in mitochondria pyruvate --> oxaloacetate (via pyruvate carboxylase enzyme) --> oxaloacetate cant cross inner mitochondria matrix to get back into the cytosol to feed gluconeogenesis so need shuttle
44
malate aspartate shuttle- what is the starting substrate and steps
-starting substrate: alanine (or other glucogenic amino acids) 1. oxaloacetate converted into malate 2. malate crosses inner mitochondria membrane (with anti porter) 3. once in cytosol malate converted back to oxaloacetate 4. oxacloacetate --> phosphoenolpyruvate... continue gluconeogenesis
45
lactate shuttle
lactate --> pyruvate in cytosol -pyruvate into mitochondria and converted into oxaloacetate - oxaloacetate --> phosphoenolpyruvate and shuttle out to continue gluconeogenesis
46
3 ways that nitrogen can be incorporated into amino acids
1. transamination (indirect) 2. transamidation (indirect) 3. direct incorporation
47
proline: special
cant rotate around alpha carbon --> non protein structure that require rotation (i.e. alpha helix)
48
cysteine and methionine: special
-cysteine: SH (thiole group) can form disulfide bonds -in many important proteins and peptides: keratin, insulin, glutathione (Gly-Cys-Glu) methane and cysteine: contain sulfer, help bind metals
49
serine and threonine: special
OH --> carbohydrate attachment or site for phosphorylation
50
asparagine: special
NH2 for carbohydrate attachment
51
transamination -which 3 amino acids and alpha ketoacids
transfer of amino group from an amino acid to an alpha keto acid -require B6 coenzyme (PLP) all people are over getting AK-47ed AMINO ACID --> ALPHA KETOACID alanine-->pyruvate aspartate --> oxaloacetate glutamate --> alpha ketoglutarate
52
transamidation
N comes from an amiDo group -NH2 =O
53
direct incorporation- amino acid anabolism which enzyme
add nitrogen from ammonia with B3 enzyme (niacin)
54
what are the 6 amino acid families with a common precursor
1. glutamate family 2. aspartate family 3. serine family 4. pyruvate family 5. aromatic family 6. histidine (family)
55
glutamate family
56
aspartate family
57
serine family
58
pyruvate family
59
aromatic family
60
histidine (family)
61
catabolism of amino acids what is the mechanism and what is produced
deamination to produce carbon skeleton and ammonium ion (not opposite of anabolism)
62
2 main deamination pathways (to breakdown amino acids)
1. glutamine synthetase reaction (direct incorporation) -general- extrahepatic tissues to liver -glutamine carries nitrogen to liver to make urea 2.glucose-alanine cycle (transamination) -specific- muscle to liver -alanine carries nitrogen to liver to make urea
63
urea cycle -location -reactants and products
-in liver -start: ornithine + carbamoyl phosphate = citrulline -products: ornithine (can start cycle over) and urea -urea has 2 nitrogens: -1 from aspartate -1 from carbamoyl phosphate (get N from glutamine or glucose-alanine cycle)
64
how do the urea cycle and citric acid cycle connect?
CAC: oxaloacetate go intro urea cycle by transamination into L-asparate in urea cycle: L-aspartate --> arginosuccinate --> L-fumarate --> fumarate --> oxaloacetate and continue citric acid cycle
65
how can amino acids be glucogenic and ketogenic
glucogenic i.e. asparagine --> aspartic acid --> oxaloacetate --> gluconeogenesis ketogenic i.e. threonine --> acetyl-CoA --> ketogenesis
