Importance of Glycosis is… (2)
- release of free energy for growth…. etc
- formation of intermediate compounds
etc… growth, replication, for the generation of electrical impulses or heat, and for the performance of such metabolic work as muscle contraction, absorption against concentration gradients, synthesis of proteins
Glycolysis makes up __ % of body’s total ATP
60%
Intermediate glycolytic compounds contribute to other pathways (2)
- DHAP –> Triglycerides
2. Pyruvate –> Alanine Synthesis
What can inhibit hexokinase and only in what tissue types can it be done?
G6Phosphatase can reverse the reaction to convert G6P into glucose when G6P levels are too high! G6Phosphatase is found only in the liver and kidney to release trapped glucose into the blood.
Anabolic and Catabolic. Which requires energy, which is ox/red?
Anabolic requires energy and is reductive. Catabolic releases energy and is oxidative.
Three irreversible reactions
- Hexokinase
- Phosphofructokinase (rate limiting step)
- Pyruvate Kinase
Phosphofructokinase is allosterically regulated by?
+ Fructose 2,6-Biphosphate, AMP
- ATP, citrate
Aldolase is the reverse of ?
Aldo condensation
Triose phosphate DH (GAL 3P DH) is important because?
Sulfhydryl groups are involved in the enzymatic reaction and may be inactivated by SH poison iodoacetate.
What stages are 2 molecules of ATP formed?
Phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase
Moles of ATP per NADH and FADH2
2.5-3 & 1.5-2 moles of ATP
Name all the types of enzymes used in Glycolysis (6)
- Phosphoryl transfer (Hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase, phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase)
- Phosphoryl Shift (Phosphoglyercerate mutase)
- Isomerization (Phosphoglucose isomerase, Triose Phosphate Isomerase)
- Dehydration (Enolase)
- Aldol Cleavage (Aldolase)
- Phosphorylation coupled to oxidation (GAL 3P DH)
Gluconeogenesis occurs in what tissues?
Liver and Kidney and is much needed esp. for tissues of high glucose demand like brain and exercising muscle.
Which steps in glycolysis produces a high energy P-bond?
3PGAL –GAL 3P DH–> 1,3 BPGA
2PGA –Enolase –> PEP
Premature and smaller than normal infants are different to normal sized infants in terms of becoming hypoglycemic. Why?
They have smaller liver glycogen stores and fasting depletes their stores and have then rely on gluconeogenesis.
What are the distinctive reactions of gluconeogenesis?
- Carboxylation of Pyruvate to oxaloacetate
- Decarboxylation and phosphorylation of oxaloacetate to PEP
- Reversal of the rxns catalyzed by phosphofructokinase and hexokinase.
List the enzymes of gluconeogenesis that reverse rxns of glycolysis
- [ pyruvate carboxylase (only in mt. matrix) & PEP carboxylase ] reverse pyruvate kinase
- Fructose 1,6 Bisphophatase reverse phosphofructokinase
- Glucose 6 phosphatase reverse hexokinase
Insulin inhibits?
cortisol stimulates?
PEP carboxykinase & Glucose 6 Phosphatase
Glucagon inhibits the?
Inhibitor (Fructose 2,6 BiPhosphate) which inhibits F 1,6 Bisphosphates.
Glucagon phosphorylates Phosphofructokinase which becomes F 2,6 Bisphosphatase to degrade F 2,6 Bisphosphate
Substrates for Gluconeogenesis
lactate, amino acids, glycerol
To improve treating diabetic, burn victim, or post operative pt we hyperaliment which is what?
Provide glucose, amino acids, and sometimes triglycerides through a gastric or jejunal tube. Amino acids go into the TCA cycle.
Pyruvate –> OAA in gluconeogenesis what needs to be carboxylated?
Enzyme – Biotion - CO2
Phosphorylated phosphofructokinase 2
Phosphorylated Fructose 2,6 Bisphosphatase
inhibits F6P to F2,6 Bisphosphate
Stimulates F2,6 Bisphosphatase to F6P
Fructose 2,6 Bisphosphate inhibits and stimulates what?
Inhibits F1,6Bisphosphatase
Stimulates Phosphofructokinase
