(119 cards)
1
Q
two types of functional groups found on the anomeric carbon of straight chain sugars
A
aldehydes and ketones
2
Q
glycation
-clinical significance
A
the process of a protein reaction and combining with a sugar without the presence of a cofactor such as an activated sugar
-Hb can be glycated when diabetics dont take their insulin and take too much sugar and can be used in a test to see if people have been compliant
3
Q
polysaccharide, glycolipis, and glycoprotein bond formation requirements
A
- this process is called glycosylation and it differs from glycation in that cofactors are needed to carry out the reaction
- these are in the form of activated sugar nucleotides
4
Q
glycogen structure
A
- series of alpha 1,4 linked glucose molecules with alpha 1,6 branches
- the end at which sugars get added is called the nonreducing end
5
Q
glycosaminoglycans GAGs
- what are they

19
Q
affect of insulin on blood glucose in type 1 diabetics
A
-blood glucose does not go down nearly as much
20
Q
insulins action on glucose metabolism
A
- decreases blood glucose by increasing uptake in muscle and adipose tissue (not in the liver)
- increases glycolysis in the liver, increasing acetyl-CoA formation
- decreases gluconeogenic reactions
- decreases glycogen breakdown and increases synthesis
21
Q
purpose of forming G6P from Glu
A
- locks it into the cell so the exterior glucose concentration doesnt pull it back out of the cell
- this is done by hexokinase everywhere and by glucokinase in hepatocytes
- glucokinase in pancreatic beta cells regulates glycolysis and hence insulin secretion (MODY)
22
Q
glucokinase vs hexokinsae concentrations
A
- glucokinase is 100 times more concentrated in liver cells than hexokinase is anywhere else in the body

ratios of NAD vs NADH and NADPH vs NADP

glycolysis

- yield
- limited by and requires
- deficiencies affect
- regulatory enzymes, reversible?
- what is the most important site of regulation?

- PFK1 is the most important step in glycolysis
32
regulation of PFK1
activators: ATP and F2,6BP

35
fructose entering the pathway
gets phosphorylated to F1P then aldolase B splits it into DHAP and glyceraldehyde which are both intermediates in glycolysis
36
fructokinase deficiency vs an aldolase B deficiency
fructokinase: less serious, causes essential fructoseria
- aldolase B: more serious as it causes a build up of F1P which blocks glycogen breakdown and glucose synthesis via sequestering Pi, this is called hereditary fructose intolerance
37

| - Gal-1-P-uridyl transferase causes major problems and is called classic galactosemia
38
what is UDP-Glucoronic acid used for?

- problems cause Gilberts syndrome
39
alcohol is converted into what and then what?
| -what cofactors does this process use? What does that lead to
- acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and then acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase

105
majority of mitochondrial proteins are
-transcribed from genomic DNA and imported from the cytoplasm using TIM and TOM proteins
106
1st step of ox phos
- electron transfer from NADH and succinate to O2
- this generates NAD+ and H2O
- complexes 1-4
107
2nd step of oxphos

111
what does the word coupling refer to
- the codependence of the rates of respiration and ATP synthesis

112
rate limiting steps of oxphos
- primary: how much ADP we have
| - respiratory chain substrates
113
permeability to NADH
- the inner membrane is impermeable to it
| - uses the glycerol phosphate and malate-aspartate shuttles to overcome this
114
glycerol phosphate shuttle
- DHAP is made into glycerol 2 P using a NADH from glycolysis
- therefore, glycerol 3 P is reduced
- glycerol 3 P then makes contact with a protein on the inner membrane which reduced NAD+ in the matrix using glycerol 3 P which makes matrix NADH and reproduces DHAP
115
malate-aspartate shuttle
- OAA is reduced to malate in the cytoplasm using NADH from glycolysis
- malate is then allowed to go through the inner membrane into the matrix where is reduces a NAD+ to NADH and is converted back to OAA
- this OAA is then converted to Asparte which can be shuttled back across the inner membrane to be converted back to OAA in the cytoplasm in order to carry more electrons
