Glycolysis

?
What are the two phases of glycolysis?
Preparatory phase and pay-off phase
1 of 34
What is the first stage?
Phosphorylation of glucose
2 of 34
Which enzyme?
Hexokinase
3 of 34
How?
Glucose is activated by phosphorylation at C-6, giving glucose 6-phosphate. Hexokinase requires Mg2+.
4 of 34
What is the second stage?
Conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate
5 of 34
Which enzyme?
Phosphohexose isomerase
6 of 34
How?
reversible isomerization of an aldose to a ketose. A critical step - rearrangement of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups at C-1 and C-2.
7 of 34
What is the third stage?
Phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
8 of 34
Which enzyme?
Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1)
9 of 34
How?
Essentially irrevesible step. Enzyme is inhibited when there are ample amounts of ATP in the cell, and stimulated when the supply is depleted
10 of 34
What is the fourth stage?
Cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
11 of 34
Which enzyme?
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (aldolase)
12 of 34
How?
A reversible aldol condensation, yielding two triose phosphates - glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
13 of 34
What is the fifth stage?
Interconversion of the triose phosphates
14 of 34
Which enzyme?
Triose phosphate isomerase
15 of 34
How?
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate must be converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate before it can be used in subsequent steps
16 of 34
What is the sixth stage?
Oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
17 of 34
Which enzyme?
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
18 of 34
How?
Oxidation. First of two energy conserving steps
19 of 34
What is the seventh stage?
Phosphoryl transfer from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP
20 of 34
Which enzyme?
Phosphoglycerate kinase
21 of 34
How?
Transfers the phosphoryl group from the carboxyl group of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP. Forms ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate
22 of 34
What is the eighth stage?
Conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate
23 of 34
Which enzyme?
Phosphoglycerate mutase
24 of 34
How?
A reversible shift of the phosphoryl group between C-2 and C-3 of glycerate. Mg2+ is essential
25 of 34
What is the ninth stage?
Dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate
26 of 34
Which enzyme?
Enolase
27 of 34
How?
Reversible removal of a water molecule from 2-phophoglycerate. Requires Mg2+ to stabilise an enolic intermediate
28 of 34
What is the tenth stage?
Transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP
29 of 34
Which enzyme?
Pyruvate kinase
30 of 34
How?
Substate-level phosphorylation, requires K+ and Mg2+ or Mn2+. Forms Pyruvate.
31 of 34
How many molecules of pyruvate can be made from one glucose molecule?
2
32 of 34
What is the net gain of ATP?
2 - four are created in the pay-off phase, but two are used in the preparatory phase.
33 of 34
How many NADH are produced?
2
34 of 34
