Aerobic (Mitochondria)  1 FAD = 2 ATP - involvement of oxygen; use to convert glucose to pyruvate and ATP, wherein pyruvates are burned for  FATES OF THE GLUCOSE energy, and then converted into fats via fatty acid → ATP production synthesis; could undergo TCA or KREBS CYCLE → Amino acid and triglycerides synthesis - the final product is pyruvate along with the production → Glycogen synthesis of eight ATP molecules → Digestion of Carbohydrates begins to digest the minute 2. Anaerobic (Cytoplasm) the food enters the mouth because the saliva secreted from - includes ATP production, and has recycled NADH by your salivary gland moistens the foods as it is chewed making the product lactate (muscles) → Saliva is important in the digestion of glucose because - the final product is lactate along with the production of saliva releases an enzyme called amylase, which begins two ATP molecules. the breakdown process of the sugars to carbohydrates → Ptyalin - is a starch hydrolyzing enzyme that is produced by the salivary glands, particularly from salivary amylase → Excess glucose is converted into glycogen which is sometimes stored in fats and proteins 8 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY PHARMACEUTICAL SEMINAR I  Step 3: Phosphorylation using ATP - from fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6- bisphosphate - 2nd mol of ATP is consumed (needed in the addition of PO4 group to fructose-6-phosphate) - Enzyme: PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE (PFK) ; rate-limiting enzyme; requires Mg2+ ion for its activity - at this point, Glucose-6-phosphate & Fructose-6- phosphate can enter other metabolic pathways, but Fructose-1,6-biphosphate can only enter glycolysis - Product: FRUCTOSE-1,6-BISPHOSPHATE - reaction is irreversible. - one ATP is utilized for phosphorylation. - second priming reaction IMPORTANT INFO  Glycolysis is composed of 10 processes and divided into 2 Steps 4-10 are considered as “Energy Generating Stage”, stages wherein ATP is used in the process; where the conversion 1. Preparatory Phase (Steps 1-5) of pyruvate happens → STEP 1-3: Energy Consuming Stage - it uses ATP instead of producing ATP; aka “PREPARATORY PHASE”  Step 4: Formation of Cleavage (Formation of 2  Step 1: Phosphorylation using ATP Triose Phosphate) - glucose ring is phosphorylated (added PO4 - Enzyme: ALDOLASE is responsible for group to a molecule that is derived from ATP) catalyzing the cleavage of Fructose-1,6- biPO4 - 1 mol ATP consumed (conversion of ATP to (FBP) to yield two 3-carbon molecules ADP) - the structure of Fructose-1,6-biphosphate will be - Enzyme: HEXOKINASE is responsible for divided into two: phosphorylation and requires Magnesium for its  1 mol contains a ketone group → activity (enzyme that ends with -KINASE means an Dihydroxyacetone PO4 (DHAP) enzyme that phosphorylates other molecules)  other mol contains an aldehyde group → - Product: GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE (at 6 carbon GAP attachment of PO4 group) - Products: GLYCERALDEHYDE-3-PHOSPHATE - First priming reaction (GAP) **this molecule can already proceed to the glycolytic pathway; DIHYDROXYACETONE PHOSPHATE (DHAP) **this molecule is further acted by triphosphate isomerase (TIM) to produce or reorganize DHAP to GAP, due to the ketone group present in DHAP - reaction is reversible. - this reaction produces two 3-carbon molecules but not yet fully converted into pyruvate  Step 2: Isomerization - Formation of fructose-6-phosphate - Enzyme: PHOSPHOGLUCOSE ISOMERASE (PI) or PHOSPHOHEXOSE ISOMERASE - Rearrangement of the carbon-oxygen bond (from 6-membered ring to 5-membered ring) from Aldose to Ketose - Carbon 1 of Glucose is no longer part of the ring structure Product: FRUCTOSE-6-PHOSPHATE 2. Payoff Phase  Step 5: Isomerization (Formation of Glyceraldehyde-3-PO4) - conversion of DHAP into GAP - this is to further proceed into the glycolysis process - Ketone → Aldehyde - Enzyme: TRIPHOSPHATE ISOMERASE aka triose-phosphate isomerase 9 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY PHARMACEUTICAL SEMINAR I - GAP is on the direct pathway of glycolysis,  Step 7: Phosphorylation of Adenosine whereas DHAP is not. Hence, Triphosphate Diphosphate (Formation of 3- isomerase converts DHAP into GAP, which is Phosphoglycerate) useful for generating ATP. Thus, the net result is - 1,3-biphosphoglycerate is converted to 3- that glucose is now cleaved into 2 molecules of PHOSPHOGLYCERATE glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate - ATP-producing step - reaction is rapid and reversible - ENZYME: PHOSPHOGLYCERO KINASE - this stage is responsible for the reason why the - there is a loss of phosphate group from the end-product of glycolysis has 2 pyruvates starting material (1,3-biphosphoglycerate) - Product: another GLYCERALDEHYDE-3- - the loss phosphate is transferred to a molecule PHOSPHATE (GAP) of ADP that yields the first ATP in this process - at this point, 2 molecules of GAP were already - since we have two molecules of 1,3- produced to enter step 6 biphosphoglycerate, the product has two ATPs. - From this point forward, there would Although these ATPs produced will be canceled be 2 products yielded in every out to recompense the ATPs that were used in step (STEPS 5-10) steps 1 and 3. Therefore, the net ATP equates to zero (0) - the enzyme transfers the high-energy phosphoryl group from the carboxyl group of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate to ADP, forming ATP and 3- phosphoglycerate - this is a unique example where ATP can be produced at the substrate level without participating in the electron transport chain. This type of reaction where ATP is formed at substrate level is called Substrate level phosphorylation  Step 6: Oxidation and Phosphorylation using Inorganic Phosphate - formation of 1,3-biphosphate glycerate - contains TWO MAIN EVENTS:  GAP is oxidized by the coenzyme Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)  The molecule is phosphorylated by the  Step 8: Isomerization (Formation of addition of a free phosphate group Phosphoglycerate) - ENZYME: GLYCERALDEHYDE-3-PHOSPHATE - rearrangement of the phosphate group on 3- DEHYDROGENASE (GAPDH) that allows phosphoglycerate molecules NAD to pull the Hydrogen atom off GAP → NADH, - the phosphate group positioned on the 3rd producing 3 ATPs. The phosphate groups carbon will be shifted to the 2nd carbon attack the GAP molecule and release it from the - PRODUCT: 2-PHOSPHOGLYCERATE enzyme to yield the final product. - ENZYME: PHOSPHOGLYCERATE MUTASE - Product: 1,3-BIPHOSPHOGLYCERATE, NADH, (PGM) or PHOSPHOGLYCEROMUTASE Hydrogen atom (GAP + NAD + Pi ⇌ 1,3- - Mutase catalyzes the transfer biphosphate + NADH + H+) of a functional group from one position - 1,3-BIPHOSPHOGLYCERATE is an to another; a readily reversible example of a high-energy phosphate reaction; Mg2+ is essential for this group. This is the energy that is used to reaction convert ADP to ATP - an energy-yielding reaction. Reactions of this type in which an aldehyde group is oxidized to acid are accompanied by the liberation of large amounts of potentially useful energy. During this reaction, NAD+ is reduced to NADH - reversible reaction  Step 9: Dehydration (Formation of Phosphoenolpyruvate) - conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) - ENZYME: ENOLASE or PHOSPHOPYRUVATE HYDRATASE - the second step where high-energy-rich compounds are produced, with step 6 being the first one - PRODUCT: PHOSPHOENOL PYRUVATE (PEP) - high-energy-rich compound aside from step 6 10 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY PHARMACEUTICAL SEMINAR I - the reaction is reversible - NADH produced in the cytosol, therefore, it cannot DIRECTLY enter the mitochondrial matrix but the 2 electrons of NADH can enter the mitochondrial matrix from the cytosol by using the substrate shuttles - NADH cannot easily enter the mitochondrial matrix because: 1.
