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.
