Problem 3 • (Notice miswording) The DGo’ value for hexokinase is -16.7 kJ/mol, and the DG 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? CONCEPT: Near-equilibrium Chemical logic? Stereochemistry—reverse does not produce mannose! 3.

Pyruvate Kinase • Energy use/production? • Chemical logic? • Regulation: F-1,6-BP can act as a feedforward activator to ensure fast glycolysis Overall Energetics • Standard Free energies are up and down • Free energies under cellular conditions are downhill – Three irreversible Fate of Pyruvate Amino acid and nitrogen metabolism Gluconeogenesis Aerobic Energy Anaerobic in higher organisms Anaerobic in microorganisms 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 The Solution in Us • Lactate formation • Balanced equation We don’t operate anaerobically... • Most energy still trapped in lactate • Back to pyruvate, then acetyl-CoA • Citric acid cycle Other sugars enter glycolysis High fructose diet puts sugars through glycolysis while avoiding major regulation step Glucose Metabolism Overview • Keep the main pathway purposes distinct • But learn details of chemistry and regulation based on similarities Glucose Metabolism Overview • Gluconeogenesis • Glycogen metabolism • Pentose Phosphate Pathway Precursors for Gluconeogenesis • Names of compounds? • Type of reaction? • Type of enzyme? • Cofactor(s)? • More on lactate processing later… Chemistry of Gluconeogenesis • Chemically opposite of glycolysis (mainly) • Energetically costly—no perpetual motion machine! • Points of regulation Glycolysis • Gluconeogenesis • • • • • • • • Step 1: costs 1 ATP Step 3: costs 1 ATP Step 7: makes 2 ATP Step 10: makes 2 ATP Step 10: no change Step 8: no change Step 3: costs 2 ATP Step 1: costs 4 ATP equivalents Step 1a • Pyruvate Carboxylase – Biotin – Costs ATP to make driving force for next reaction – First step in biosynthesis of glucose and many other molecules • Related to which amino acid? Mechanism • Mixed anhydride • Coupled through biotin coenzyme Step 1b • PEP carboxykinase – ATP cost to restore PEP – CO2 loss drives rxn Step 8 • Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase • No additional energy input • Phosphate ester hydrolysis is spontaneous 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. Key Regulation • At the committed step in glucogenic cells • Principle of Reciprocal regulation • Local regulation vs Hormone regulation Key Regulation • Local regulation – AMP/ATP (energy charge) – Citrate (feedback) • Hormone regulation – Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate • Gluconeogenesis is inhibited • Glycolysis is stimulated 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?
