Glycolysis Overview

• Glycolysis: breakdown of glucose into pyruvate with net production of ATP

• Occurs in cytosol

Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 NAD+ + 2 Pi

2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+

10 steps

3

Glycolysis: First 5 Steps

• Convert Glucose into G6P

• Convert G6P into F6P

• Convert F6P into FBP

• Split FBP into two molecules– GAP: ready for next step– DHAP: must convert into GAP before

proceeding

Draw the molecule glucose in the Haworth projection

• Start with the ring system

• Add the substituents on the ring system

C1 - draw OH down C2 - draw OH down C3 - draw OH up C4 - draw OH down C5 - draw CH2OH up

Glycolysis: Step #1

Kinases transfer PO32- groups from one molecule to another

Hexokinase

Mg2+

Reaction mostly proceeds to the right

7

Glycolysis: Step #2

Phosphoglucose Isomerase (PGI) converts G6P into a fructose-based molecule through acid-base catalysis

Let’s look at this mechanism more closely…

Glycolysis: Step #3

PFK

+ ADP + H+

Phosphofructokinase transfers PO32- group from

ATP to fructose-6-phosphate

So far, 2 ATP molecules have been invested in glycolysis!

15

Drawing FBP

Recall from Ch. 8

Haworth and Fischer projections are equivalent

16

Glycolysis: Step #4

Aldolase

Aldolase is unique in glycolysis; it cleaves FBP into two 3-C molecules - GAP and

DHAP

Let’s see how aldolase works…

Aldolase cleaves FBP into GAP and DHAP

22

Glycolysis: Step #5Triose Phosphate Isomerase

DHAP must be converted into

GAP via the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase (TIM)

to proceed through glycolysis

23

Overview After Step 5

Two molecules of ATP are invested initially.

One molecule of glucose gets metabolized into 2

molecules of GAP
