Overview of Glycolysis
•
•
•
•
•
The Embden-Meyerhof (Warburg) Pathway
Essentially all cells carry out glycolysis
Ten reactions - same in all cells - but rates differ
Two phases:
– First phase converts glucose to two G-3-P
– Second phase produces two pyruvates
Products are pyruvate, ATP and NADH
Three possible fates for pyruvate

First Phase of Glycolysis
The first reaction - phosphorylation of glucose
• Hexokinase or glucokinase
• This is a priming reaction - ATP is consumed
here in order to get more later
• ATP makes the phosphorylation of glucose
spontaneous
• Be SURE you can interconvert Keq and
standard state free energy change
• Be SURE you can use Eq. 3.12 to generate
far right column of Table 19.1

Hexokinase
1st step in glycolysis; G large, negative
• Hexokinase (and glucokinase) act to
phosphorylate glucose and keep it in the cell
• Km for glucose is 0.1 mM; cell has 4 mm glucose
• So hexokinase is normally active!
• Glucokinase (Kmglucose = 10 mM) only turns on
when cell is rich in glucose
• Hexokinase is regulated - allosterically inhibited
by (product) glucose-6-P - but is not the most
important site of regulation of glycolysis - Why?

Rx 2:
Phosphoglucoisomerase
Glucose-6-P to Fructose-6-P
• Why does this reaction occur??
– next step (phosphorylation at C-1) would
be tough for hemiacetal -OH, but easy for
primary -OH
– isomerization activates C-3 for cleavage in
aldolase reaction
• Ene-diol intermediate in this reaction
• Be able to write a mechanism!

Rx 3: Phosphofructokinase

PFK is the committed step in glycolysis!
The second priming reaction of glycolysis
Committed step and large, neg delta G - means
PFK is highly regulated
ATP inhibits, AMP reverses inhibition
Citrate is also an allosteric inhibitor
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is allosteric activator
PFK increases activity when energy status is low
PFK decreases activity when energy status is high

Rx 4: Aldolase
C6 cleaves to 2 C3s (DHAP, Gly-3-P)
• Animal aldolases are Class I aldolases
• Class I aldolases form covalent Schiff
base intermediate between substrate
and active site lysine
• Understand the evidence for Schiff base
intermediate (box on page 622)

Rx 5: Triose Phosphate
Isomerase
DHAP converted to Gly-3-P
• An ene-diol mechanism (know it!)
• Active site Glu acts as general base
• Triose phosphate isomerase is a nearperfect enzyme - see Table 14.5

Glycolysis - Second Phase
Metabolic energy produces 4 ATP
• Net ATP yield for glycolysis is two ATP
• Second phase involves two very high
energy phosphate intermediates
•
.
– 1,3 BPG
– Phosphoenolpyruvate

Rx 6: Gly-3-Dehydrogenase
Gly-3P is oxidized to 1,3-BPG
• Energy yield from converting an
aldehyde to a carboxylic acid is used to
make 1,3-BPG and NADH
• Mechanism is one we saw in Chapter
16 (see Figure 16.10!)
• Mechanism involves covalent catalysis
and a nicotinamide coenzyme - know it

Rx 7: Phosphoglycerate
Kinase
ATP synthesis from a high-energy
phosphate
• This is referred to as "substrate-level
phosphorylation"
• 2,3-BPG (for hemoglobin) is made by
circumventing the PGK reaction

Rx 8: Phosphoglycerate
Mutase
Phosphoryl group from C-3 to C-2
• Rationale for this enzyme - repositions
the phosphate to make PEP
• Note the phospho-histidine
intermediates!
• Zelda Rose showed that a bit of 2,3BPG is required to phosphorylate His

Rx 9: Enolase
•
•
•
•
2-P-Gly to PEP
Overall G is 1.8 kJ/mol
How can such a reaction create a PEP?
"Energy content" of 2-PG and PEP are
similar
Enolase just rearranges to a form from
which more energy can be released in
hydrolysis

Rx 10: Pyruvate Kinase
•
•
•
•
•
PEP to Pyruvate makes ATP
These two ATP (from one glucose) can be
viewed as the "payoff" of glycolysis
Large, negative G - regulation!
Allosterically activated by AMP, F-1,6-bisP
Allosterically inhibited by ATP and acetylCoA
Understand the keto-enol equilibrium of Py

The Fate of NADH and
Pyruvate
Aerobic or anaerobic??
• NADH is energy - two possible fates:
– If O2 is available, NADH is re-oxidized in
the electron transport pathway, making
ATP in oxidative phosphorylation
– In anaerobic conditions, NADH is reoxidized by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),
providing additional NAD+ for more
glycolysis

The Fate of NADH and Py
Aerobic or anaerobic??
• Pyruvate is also energy - two possible
fates:
– aerobic: citric acid cycle
– anaerobic: LDH makes lactate

Energetics of Glycolysis
The elegant evidence of regulation!
• See Figure 16.31
• Standard state G values are scattered:
+ and  G in cells is revealing:
– Most values near zero
– 3 of 10 Rxns have large, negative  G
• Large negative  G Rxns are sites of
regulation!

Other Substrates for
Glycolysis
Fructose, mannose and galactose
• Fructose and mannose are routed into
glycolysis by fairly conventional means.
See Figure 18.32
• Galactose is more interesting - the Leloir
pathway "converts" galactose to glucose
- sort of....
• See Figure 16.33
