METABOLISM
 METABOLISM is a series of interconnected chemical
reactions occurring within a cell and the chemical
compounds involved in it are termed as
METABOLITES.
 The enzymatic reactions are organized into discreet
pathways which proceed in a stepwise manner,
transforming substrates into end products through
many specific chemical intermediates.
 Metabolic pathways can be of following types:
LINEAR (Eg. Glycolysis)
CYCLIC (Eg. Citric acid cycle)
SPIRAL ( Eg. Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids)
 Metabolic pathways serve 2 functions:
Generation of energy to drive vital functions.
Synthesis of biological molecules.
METABOLIC
PATHWAYS
CATABOLIC PATHWAYS
Are involved in oxidative
breakdown of larger
complexes.
They are usually
exergonic in nature
ANABOLIC PATHWAYS
Are involved in the
synthesis of
compounds.
They are usually
endergonic in nature.
CHARACTERISTICS OF METABOLISM
1. Metabolic pathways are irreversible
2. Every metabolic pathway has a committed
first step.
3. All metabolic pathways are regulated.
4. Metabolic pathways in eukaryotic cells occur
in specific cellular locations.
GLYCOLYSIS
Glycolysis comes from a merger of two Greek words:
Glykys = sweet
Lysis = breakdown/ splitting
It is also known as Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway
or EMP pathway.
INTRODUCTION
 GLYCOLYSIS is the sequence of 10 enzyme-catalyzed
reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with
simultaneous production on of ATP.
 In this oxidative process, 1mol of glucose is partially
oxidised to 2 moles of pyruvate.
 This major pathway of glucose metabolism occurs in
the cytosol of all cell.
 This unique pathway occurs aerobically as well as
anaerobically & doesnt involve molecular oxygen.
 It also includes formation of Lactate from Pyruvate.
 The glycolytic sequence of reactions differ from
species to species only in the mechanism of its
regulation & in the subsequent metabolic fate of
the pyruvate formed.
 In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is the prelude to
Citric acid cycle and ETC.
 Glycolysis is the central pathway for Glucose
catabolism.

glycolysis and its phase and pathway regulations
TWO PHASES OF GLYCOLYSIS
 Glycolysis leads to breakdown of 6-C glucose
into two molecules of 3-C pyruvate with the
enzyme catalyzed reactions being bifurcated
or categorized into 2 phases:
1. Phase 1- preparatory phase
2. Phase 2- payoff phase.
PREPARATORY PHASE
 It consists of the 1st 5 steps of glycolysis in which
the glucose is enzymatically phosphorylated by ATP
to yield Fructose-1,6-biphosphate.
 This fructuse-1,6-biphosphate is then split in half to
yield 2 molecules of 3-carbon containing
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate/ dihyroxyacteone
phosphate.
 Thus the first phase results in cleavage of the
hexose chain.
 This cleavage requires an investment of 2 ATP
molecules to activate the glucose mole and prepare
it for its cleavage into 3-carbon compound.
glycolysis and its phase and pathway regulations
PAYOFF PHASE
 This phase constitutes the last 5 reactions of
Glycolysis.
 This phase marks the release of ATP molecules
during conversion of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphtae
to 2 moles of Pyruvate.
 Here 4 moles of ADP are phosphorylated to ATP.
Although 4 moles of ATP are formed, the net result
is only 2 moles of ATP per mole of Glucose oxidized,
since 2 moles of ATP are utilized in Phase 1.

STEPWISE EXPLAINATION OF
GLYCOLYSIS
STEP 1: PHOSPHORYLATION
 Glucose is phosphorylated by ATP to form sugar
phosphate.
 This is an irreversible reaction & is catalyzed by
hexokinase.
 Thus the reaction can be represented as follows:
Glucose
Glucose-6-phosphate
Hexokinase
ATP
ADP
STEP 2: ISOMERIZATION
 It is a reversible rearrangement of chemical structure of
carbonyl oxygen from C1 to C2, forming a Ketose from the
Aldose.
 Thus, isomerization of the aldose Glucose6-phosphate
gives the ketose, Fructose-6-phoshphate.
Glucose-6-phosphate
Phosphoglucoisomerase
Fructose-6-phosphate
STEP 3: PHOPHORYLATION
 Here the Fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated
by ATP to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
 This is an irreversible reaction and is catalyzed by
phosphofructokinase enzyme.

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

Phosphofructokinase
STEP 4: BREAKDOWN
 This six carbon sugar is cleaved to produce two 3-C
molecules: glyceradldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) &
dihydroxyacetone phosphate(DHAP).
 This reaction is catalyzed by Aldolase.

STEP 5: ISOMERIZATION

STEP 7
 The transfer of high-energy phosphate group that
was generated earlier to ADP, form ATP.
 This phosphorylation i.e. addition of phosphate to
ADP to give ATP is termed as substrate level
phosphorylation as the phosphate donor is the
substrate 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG).
 The product of this reaction is 2 molecules of
3-phosphoglycerate.

STEP 9: DEHYDRATION OF 2-PG
 This is the second reaction in glycolysis where a
high-energy phosphate compound is formed.
 The 2-phosphoglycerate is dehydrated by the action
of enolase to phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP). This
compound is the phosphate ester of the enol
tautomer of pyruvate.
 This is a reversible reaction.

STEP 10: TRANSFER OF PHOSPHATE
FROM PEP to ADP
 This last step is the irreversible transfer of high
energy phosphoryl group from
phosphoenolpuruvate to ADP.
 This reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate kinase.
 This is the 2nd substrate level phosphorylation
reaction in glycolysis which yields ATP.
 This is a non-oxidative phosphorylation reaction.

OVERALL BALANCE SHEET OF
GLYCOLYSIS
 Each molecule of glucose gives 2 molecules of
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Therefore , the total
input of all 10 reactions can be summarized as:
Glucose + 2ATP+ 2Pi+ 2NAD+ 2H+ 4ADP
2Pyruvate+ 2H+ 4ATP+ 2HO+ 2NADH+ 2ADP
On cancelling the common terms from the above
equation, we get the net equation for Glycolysis:
Glucose+ 2Pi+ 2ADP+ 2NAD
2Pyruvate+ 2NADH+ 2ATP+ 2H + 2HO
THUS THE SIMULTANEOUS REACTIONS INVOLVED IN
GLYCOLYSIS ARE:
Glucose is oxidized to Pyruvate
NAD is reduced to NADH
ADP is phosphorylated to ATP
