5 Problem 3 (Notice miswording) The G o value for hexokinase is 16.7 kj/mol, and the G value under cellular conditions is similar. What is the ratio of G 6 P to glucose under standard conditions at equilibrium if the ratio of ATP:ADP is 10:1? How high would the ratio of G 6 P to glucose have to be to reverse the hexokinase reaction by mass action? 2. Phosphoglucose Isomerase Previous concepts: Isomerization Energy use/production? CNCEPT: Near equilibrium Chemical logic? Stereochemistry reverse does not produce mannose! 5

6 3. PFK 1 Previous concepts: Allosteric inhibition Energy use/production? Chemical logic? First committed step of glycolysis Why? regulation 6

11 8. Phosphoglycerate Mutase Previous concepts: Covalent catalysis Energy use/production? Chemical logic? Mutase isomerization with P transfer Mechanism Not a simple transfer What happens if the bisphosphate escapes? 11

12 9. Enolase Concept: Phosphoryl group transfer potential Energy use/production? Chemical logic? 10. Pyruvate Kinase Energy use/production? Chemical logic? Regulation: F 1,6 BP can act as a feedforward activator to ensure fast glycolysis 12

14 The Problem of Anaerobic Metabolism With oxygen, the NADH produced in glycolysis is re oxidized back to NAD + NAD + /NADH is a co substrate which means If there is no oxygen, glycolysis will stop because The solution to the problem is to The solution in Yeast Pyruvate is decarboxylated (cofactor?) to acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde transformed to ethanol What type of reaction? What cofactor? NAD + is regenerated to be reused in GAPDH 14

15 Lactate formation The Solution in Us Balanced equation We don t operate anaerobically... Most energy still trapped in lactate Back to pyruvate, then acetyl CoA Citric acid cycle 15

21 Step 10 Glucose 6 phosphatase Liver (and others) Not in muscle Problem 34 A liver biopsy of a four year old boy indicated that the F 1,6 Bpase enzyme activity was 20% normal. The patient s blood glucose levels were normal at the beginning of a fast, but then decreased suddenly. Pyruvate and alanine concentrations were also elevated, as was the glyceraldehyde/dhap ratio. Explain the reason for these symptoms. 21

22 Key Regulation At the committed step in glucogenic cells Principle of Reciprocal regulation Local regulation vs Hormone regulation Local regulation Key Regulation AMP/ATP (energy charge) Citrate (feedback) Hormone regulation Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate Gluconeogenesis is inhibited Glycolysis is stimulated 22

23 Problem 39 Brazilin, a compound found in aqueous extracts of sappan wood, has been used to treat diabetics in Korea. It increases the activity of the enzyme that products F 2,6 BP and stimulates the activity of pyruvate kinase. What is the effect of adding brazilin to liver cells in culture? Why would brazilin be an effective treatment for diabetes?
