Summary of the 12 steps of glycolysis - investment & reward phases Products of glycolysis Control of glycolysis (hexokinase, phosphofructokinase & pyruvate kinase) allosteric & hormonal Difference between phosphofructokinase I & II and their regulation Glycolysis in relation to cancer Glycogen - structure, bonding etc. Glycogenolysis (2 stages) Glucose 6-phosphatase - and regulation of glycogenolysis (phosphorolysis) Regulation of glycogenolysis (In liver and muscle) Glycogen synthesis Regulati...
Covers the key (almost) irreversible enzymatic reactions in glycolysis and the 3 bypasses needed for gluconeogenesis to happen - includes detailed diagram with enzymes Also covers: - energy cost - regulation of gluconeogenesis (allosteric, reciprocal & hormonal regulation) - cori cycle - glucose-alanine cycle - krebs cycle - glucose 6-phosphatase deficiency
Summary of the pentose phosphate pathway and it's link to glycolysis Includes: Uses of Ribose 5-phosphate Oxidative & non-oxidative stage (including key enzymes) Regulation of the pathway
