Study Notes
Formation of ATP from 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate and ADP
- 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate is converted to ATP and 3-Phosphoglycerate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase in Step 7 of glycolysis.
- This reaction is a substrate-level phosphorylation, which is reversible.
- This is the first ATP generation step in glycolysis.
Phosphorylation
- Phosphorylation is the metabolic reaction of introducing a phosphate group into an organic molecule.
- There are two types of phosphorylation: substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria and involves the formation of high-energy phosphate bonds by phosphorylation of ADP to ATP, coupled to the transfer of electrons from reduced coenzymes to molecular oxygen via the electron transport chain.
- Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in the cytosol or mitochondria and involves the formation of high-energy phosphate bonds by phosphorylation of ADP to ATP, coupled to cleavage of a high-energy metabolic intermediate.
Isomerization of 3-Phosphoglycerate and Dehydration of 2-Phosphoglycerate
- 3-Phosphoglycerate is converted to 2-Phosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate mutase in Step 8.
- 2-Phosphoglycerate is converted to phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) by the enzyme enolase in Step 9.
Phosphorylation of Fructose 6-P and Splitting of F1,6 BP
- Fructose 6-phosphate is phosphorylated to Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate by phosphofructokinase (PFK) in Step 3.
- The PFK reaction is irreversible and rate-limiting.
- Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxy acetone phosphate by the enzyme aldolase (Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase) in Step 4.
Isomerization of DHAP and Oxidation of Glyceraldehyde 3P
- Dihydroxy acetone phosphate is converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by phosphotriose isomerase in Step 5.
- Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Step 6.
Energy Generation Phase and Overall Process of Glycolysis
- The energy generation phase (Payoff Phase) consists of the last 5 reactions of glycolysis.
- In aerobic conditions, 2 pyruvate, 4 ATP, and 2 NADH are produced from 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
- In anaerobic conditions, only 4 ATP are generated with the conversion of 2 pyruvate to 2 lactate, and 2 NADH do not enter the electron transport chain.
- Glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) in the presence of mitochondria.
- Glucose is the universal fuel for human cells, and its sources include the diet and internal glycogen stores.
