reaction 6 glycolysis

Oxidation & Phosphorylation

The enzyme triose phosphate dehydrogenase serves two functions in this step. First the enzyme transfers a hydrogen atom from glyceraldehyde phosphate to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is the oxidizing agent, to form NADH. Next triose phosphate dehydrogenase adds a phosphate (P) from the cytosol to the oxidized glyceraldehyde phosphate to form 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate. This occurs for both glyceraldehyde phosphate molecules, produced in step 5.

Q

rn 7 glycolysis

A

phosphate transfer

1,3 bisphosphoglycerate is converted to 3-phosphoglycerate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK).
This reaction involves the loss of a phosphate group from the starting material. The phosphate is transferred to a molecule of ADP that yields our first molecule of ATP. Since we actually have two molecules of 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate (because there were two 3-carbon products from stage 1 of glycolysis), we actually synthesize two molecules of ATP at this step. With this synthesis of ATP, we have cancelled the first two molecules of ATP that we used, leaving us with a net of 0 ATP molecules up to this stage of glycolysis.

Q

rn 8 glycolysis is

A

isomerization
a simple rearrangement of the position of the phosphate group on the 3 phosphoglycerate molecule, making it 2 phosphoglycerate.

The molecule responsible for catalyzing this reaction is called phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM).

The reaction mechanism proceeds by first adding an additional phosphate group to the 2′ position of the 3 phosphoglycerate. The enzyme then removes the phosphate from the 3′ position leaving just the 2′ phosphate, and thus yielding 2 phosphoglycerate. In this way, the enzyme is also restored to its original, phosphorylated state.

reaction 1 krebs cycle

A

Formation of Citrate
The first reaction of the citric acid cycle is catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase. In this step, oxaloacetate is joined with acetyl-CoA to form citrate, a tertiary alcohol. Once the two molecules are joined, a water molecule attacks the acetyl leading to the release of coenzyme A from the complex.

Oxidation & Decarboxylation Two events occur in reaction 3 of the citric acid cycle. In the first reaction, we see our first generation of NADH from NAD. The enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of the –OH group at the 4’ position of isocitrate to yield an intermediate which then has a carbon dioxide molecule removed from it to yield alpha-ketoglutarate.

Decarboxylation & Oxidation
Alpha-ketoglutarate loses a carbon dioxide molecule and coenzyme A is added in its place. The decarboxylation occurs with the help of NAD, which is converted to NADH. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. The resulting molecule is called succinyl-CoA.

step 5 krebs cycle

A

hydrolysis
The enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase catalyzes the fifth reaction of the citric acid cycle. In this step a molecule of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is synthesized. GTP synthesis occurs with the addition of a free phosphate group to a GDP molecule (similar to ATP synthesis from ADP). In this reaction, a free phosphate group first attacks the succinyl-CoA molecule releasing the CoA. After the phosphate is attached to the molecule, it is transferred to the GDP to form GTP. The resulting product is the molecule succinate.

step 6 krebs cycle

A

oxidation
The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the removal of two hydrogens from succinate in the sixth reaction of the citric acid cycle. In the reaction, a molecule of FAD, a coenzyme similar to NAD, is reduced to FADH2 as it takes the hydrogens from succinate. The product of this reaction is fumarate. FAD, like NAD, is the oxidized form while FADH2 is the reduced form. FAD oxidizes carbon-carbon double and triple bonds while NAD oxidizes mostly carbon-oxygen bonds.

Lipogenesis

A

The production of new fatty acids is called lipogenesis, where acyl carrier protein is used. Synthesis takes place within cytoplasm and initiated when pancreas sense a high level of glucose in blood. As a result, secretion of insulin occurs and glucose is shifted to cells.

As a result of oxidation, hydration and cleavage, the final product is acetyl CoA.
