glycolysis pathway

    Cards (6)

    • hexokinase - step 1 utilisation step
      • converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate
    • step 2 phosphoglucose isomerase
      • converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate
    • Step 3 - phosphofructokinase - converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate using ATP
      • irreversible step and important in glycolysis
    • Step 4 +5 aldolase and trios phosphate isomerase - fructose-1,6-phosphate splits into glyceraldehyde-3-phopshate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
    • step 6 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
      • Produces NADH and 1,3 bisphosglycerate, high energy intermediate
    • step 7 phosphoglycerate kinase
      generates first ATP via substrate level phosphorylation
