Front Back
Energy-rich nutrients
CHO, fat and protein
Catabolism
The breakdown of energy-rich nutrients to make ATP and energy-poor products (CO2 and H20)
Anabolism
The creating of macromolecules (proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids) through the breakdown of ATP and precursurs (amino acids,etc)
Zymology
Study of fermentation (before biochemistry became a field), enzyme derived from this first area of study in modern biochemistry
Net Reaction of Glycolysis
Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2P = 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H20
Payoff Phase
1 NADH and 2 ATP per 3 C molecule (2X)
ATP --> ATP
Step 1 and 3
Step 1 Glycolyisis
ATP to ADP, - delta G, hexokinase, add phosphate, coupled rxn
Step 2 Glycolysis
Phosphohexose Isomeras, rearrangement, keto-enol isomerization, + delta G
Step 3 Glycolysis
Phosphfructokinase (PFK-1), negative delta G, Rate-limiting step, allosteric regulation
Allosteric Regulation in Glycolysis
High ATP, fatty acids, citrate INHIBITS High AMP, ADP STIMULATES
How does ATP inhibit the forward reaction in glycolysis?
Bind to allosteric site, active site on but doesn't bind there
Step 4 of Glycolysis
Aldolase (breakdown or cleavage), 2 trioses, + delta G
Positive Delta G's in Glycolysis
Not as positive as delta G's describe because the conditions of the cells change it.
Step 5 of Glycolysis
Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TPI), converts dihydroxyacetone to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, positive delta G
