Document Summary

Part i: glycolysis is the sequence of reactions that metabolizes 1 molecule of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate with net production of 2 molecules atp, parts of it are essentially universal"; takes place in cytoplasm. Glucose is common and important fuel source. 16. 2 (refer to handout: note in that figure that 3 steps (all kinase rxn") are irreversible. Know which ones they are: stage i, step 1 hexokinase traps glucose in cell and begins glycolysis. This step is important for two reasons: 1) glucose 6-phosphate can"t pass membrane through glu-transporters, 2) addition p-group destabilizes glucose. Hexokinase catalyzes transfer of p-group from atp to hexoses; requires. Mg2+ for activity; substrate induced cleft closing around glucose: step 2 glucose 6-phosphate converted to fructose 6-phosphate. Catalyzed by phosphoglucose isomerase; this rxn takes time due to opening of cyclic forms of sugars: step 3 fructose 6-phosphate is then phosphorylated to fructose-1,6-bp.
