Part III Bioenergetics and Metabolism

Chapter 14 Glycolysis and the Catabolism of Hexoses

  • Glycolysis
  • An Overview: Glycolysis Has Two Phases
  • The Preparatory Phase of Glycolysis Requires ATP
  • The Payoff Phase of Glycolysis Produces ATP
  • Fates of Pyruvate under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions
  • BOX 14-1 Glycolysis without Oxygen: Alligators and Coelacanths
  • BOX 14-2 BREWING BEER
  • Ethanol Is the Reduced Product in Alcohol Fermentation
  • Thiamine Pyrophosphate Carries "Active Aldehyde" Groups
  • Feeder Pathways for Glycolysis
  • Other Monosaccharides Can Enter the Glycolytic Pathway
  • Dietary Disaccharides Are Hydrolyzed to Monosaccharides
  • Regulation of Carbohydrate Catabolism
  • Regulatory Enzymes Act as Metabolic Valves
  • Liver Glycogen Phosphorylase Is Regulated by Hormones and Blood Glucose
  • Hexokinase Is Allosterically Inhibited by Its Product
  • BOX 14-3 Isozymes: Different Proteins That Catalyze the Same Reaction
  • Pyruvate Kinase Is Inhibited by ATP
  • Phosphofructokinase-1 Is under Complex Allosteric Regulation
  • Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis Are Coordinately Regulated
  • Secondary Pathways of Glucose Oxidation
  • Oxidative DecarBOXylation Yields Pentose Phosphates and NADPH
  • Glucose Is Converted to Glucuronic Acid and Ascorbic Acid
