Term
Name each of the steps of glycolysis AND enzyme used (10 steps)
Definition
1) Glucose ---> G-6-P (hexokinase)

2) G-6-P ---- F-6-P (isomerase)

3) F-6-p ---F-1,6,-bp (PhosphoFructoKinase)

4)F-1,6-bp --- G3P and DHAP (aldolase)

5) DHAP into G3P (isomerase)

6) G-3-p ---- 1,3-BPG AND Nad+ to NADH (dehydrogenase)

7) 1,3BPG--->3BPG and ADP-->ATP (PGkinase)

8) 3PG -->2PG (mutase)

9) 2PG -->phosphophenolpyruvate (PPP) enolase

10) PPP to pyruvate AND ADP-->ATP (pyruvate kinase)
Term
3 things pyruvate can come
Definition
ethanol (yeast)

lactate (people and animals)

AcetylCoA (krebs)
Term
3 regulated steps in glycolysis?
Definition
1,3, 10
Term
Describe the regulation of step 1 of glycolysis
Definition
if cell has enough G-6-P then glucose can go somewehere else to be used or stored by the cell
Term
blood glucose is 4mM and the skeletal muscle Km for glucose is 0.1 mM so is hexokinase active?
Definition
yes, if concentration is greater than the Km, it will be active
Term
what does insulin do?
Definition
induces expression of glucokinase
Term
describe inhibition of step 3
Definition
PFK-1 is inhibited by high ATP and citrate concentration (well fed)

Its positively reculated by AMP and HIGLY positively regulated by f-2,6,-bp
Term
how does the F2,6bP work?
Definition
in well fed sitch, kinase portion is activated and F6P becomes f2,6bP and PFK-1 is activated

in poor feed cell, phosphatase portion is activated and F2,6P is turned into F6P
Term
how is 10th step regulated?
Definition
well feel PFK-1 induces pyruvate kinase to keep going (think fireman PFK-1)
Term
What happens to pyruvate before it can go into the CAC?
Definition
goes through a 3 enzyme complex and becomes AcetylCoA (coupled with another NADH formation) ---> loss of one CO2!
Term
what part of krebs is regulated, where?
Definition
pyruvate to AcetylCoA (by NADH, AcetylCoA and ATP---all well fed conditions)
Term
Name CAC steps and enzymes
Definition
Acetyl coA and OAA form citrate (citrate synthase)

citrate forms isocitrate (aconitase)

isocitrate forms AKG coupled with one NADH also, loss of a CO2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase)

AKG + CoA-SH forms succinyl-CoA coupled with an NADH (AKG dehydrogenase)

SuccinylCoA becomes Succinate (plus a GTP) succinylCoA synthetase

Succinate becomes Fumerate (FADH2) succinate dehydrogenase

Fumerate becomes Malate (fumerase)

Malate becomes OAA (NADH) malate dehydrogenase

then it starts over!
Term
where does glycolysis occur?

Krebs?

Oxidateive phosphorylation?
Definition
cytoplasm

matrix

innermembrane
Term
What happens at complex 1 of oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
NADH oxidized into NAD, CoenzymeQ accepts electrons and passes to cmplx 3
Term
what happens at cmplx 2
Definition
FADH2 is oxidized and electrons are transfered to CoenzymeQ
Term
what happens at complex 3
Definition
CoEnzyme Q deposits electrons and cmplex undegoes a series of red-ox rxns leading to reduction of cytochrome c
Term
what happens at complex iv?
Definition
cytochrome c deposits its elctrons and they're ultimately passed along to water
Term
name the enzymes at the 4 complexes
Definition
NADH-coenzyme Q reductase

Succinate CoEnzyme Q reductase

CoEnzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase

Cytrochrome c oxidase
Term
How does cyanide work?
Definition
it binds to Cyt a3 (in cmplx 4) and electrons cannot be passed to oxygen
