8 Main Glycolytic Reactions | Carbohydrates | Biochemistry

The following points highlight the eight main glycolytic reactions. The reactions are: 1. Phosphohexose Isomerase 2. Phosphofructokinase 3. Aldolase or Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolase 4. Glyceraldehyde-3-℗ Dehydrogenase 5. 3-Phosphoglycerate Kinase 6. Phosphoglycerate Mutase 7. Enolase 8. Pyruvate Kinase. Reaction # 1. Phosphohexose Isomerase: This enzyme isomerizes glucose-6-℗ (resulting, via glucose-1-℗, from phos-phorolysis of the reserve glycogen or from the phosphorylation of glucose [...]

Inhibition of Glycolysis by Oxygen | Carbohydrates

In this article we will discuss about the inhibition of glycolysis by oxygen.  Some controls, particularly hormonal, are carried out on glycolysis. We will examine here only the effect of oxygen known as the Pasteur effect because Pasteur was the first scientist to observe that in yeast, glucose was less rapidly consumed in aerobiosis than in anaerobiosis. In other words, [...]

Metabolism of Carbohydrates | Biochemistry

Monosaccharides, and particularly glucose, owe their importance to the fact that their oxidation provides the living organisms with a major part of the energy they require. Furthermore, the carbon atoms of glucose can be found in a large number of compounds (amino acids, fatty acids, sterols, glycerol, etc.). In the study of the metabolism of carbohydrates we will therefore come [...]
