Glucose Degradation
Comes in 2 phases, Preparation Phase and Payoff Phase
Provides 5% of the total energy Yield of the human body.
Glucose
Nota:
C6H12O6
Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)
Nota:
ATP turns to ADP
Catalysed by Hexokinase
Fructose-6-Phosphate (F6P)
Nota:
Phosphoglucose Isomerase, changes/permutate the structure.
Note that this process is reversible.
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F1,6bisP)
Nota:
Phosphofructokinase (Rate limiting Step)
Utilize one ATP to ADP
Intermediate
Nota:
Adolase will break the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into 2 possible isomers
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Nota:
Formed by Triose Phosphate
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP)
Nota:
Formed by breaking by adolase and using triosephosphate isomerase of dihydroxyacetone phosphate
End of Preparation Phase
Pay off Phase Start
Nota:
From here on, it is the pay off phase.
1,3- Biphosphoglycerate
Nota:
Oxidation of GAP to 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate.
Utilize one NAD+ to NADH and H+
Needs Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
This process is reversible.
3-phosphoglycerate
Nota:
Uses phosphoglycerate Kinase with Mg2+
One Unit of ATP formed form 1 unit of ADP.
Process is reversible
2-phosphoglycerate
Nota:
Uses Phosphoglycerate mutase and Mg2+
Process is reversible
Phosphoenolpyruvate
Nota:
Dehydration.
Uses Enolase as a catalyst
Process is reversible
Pyruvate
Nota:
Final Form.
ADP turns into ATP
Utilize pyruvate kinase with Mg2+ and K+
Process is irreversible.
