    Study Notes

    Glycolysis Overview

    • Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.
    • Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is an anaerobic process (does not require oxygen).
    • Consists of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions divided into two phases: energy investment and energy payoff.

    Key Steps

    • Energy Investment Phase:
      • First half of glycolysis where ATP is consumed.
      • Converts glucose to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate using 2 ATP.
    • Energy Payoff Phase:
      • Second half of glycolysis where ATP (4 total) and NADH are produced.
      • Ends with the production of 2 pyruvate molecules.

    Important Enzymes

    • Hexokinase: Converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, regulating glucose entry into the pathway.
    • Phosphofructokinase (PFK): Key regulatory step in glycolysis; converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
    • Pyruvate Kinase: Generates ATP by converting phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, final step of glycolysis.

    Energy Yield

    • Net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule after considering the 2 ATP used in the investment phase.
    • Additionally, produces 2 NADH molecules which can be used in cellular respiration.

    Regulation

    • Glycolysis is tightly regulated by availability of substrates and energy levels within the cell.
    • Key regulatory points include hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase; these are influenced by concentrations of AMP, ATP, and citrate.

    Clinical Relevance

    • Dysregulation of glycolysis is implicated in various diseases including cancer (Warburg effect) and diabetes.
    • Understanding glycolysis is crucial for metabolic pathway studies and pharmacological interventions.
