cellular currency NADPH is
used for reductive biosynthesis
of fatty acids and cholesterol
• To produce ribose 5-phosphate
used for nucleic acid synthesis
• Despite their close chemical
structures, NADPH & NADH
are not metabolically
interchangeable:
- NADH uses free energy of metabolite oxidation for ATP synthesis
- NADPH uses free energy of metabolite oxidation for reductive biosynthesis

Relationship between glycolysis and the PPP
Fundamentals of biochemistry-Life at the molecular level, Voet, Voet, Pratt
1 The PPP, which begins with G6P produced in of glycolysis,
generates NADPH for use in reductive biosynthesis reactions and R5P for nucleotide synthesis
2 Excess R5P is converted to glycolytic intermediates (F6P & GAP) by a sequence of reactions that can operate in reverse to
generate additional R5P, if needed
27
Trang 28Utilization of Glucose 6-phosphate
• Glucose 6-phosphate can be used as a substrate either for glycolysis or for the pentose phosphate pathway
depending on the cell’s need for biosynthesis (PPP) or for energy from metabolism (glycolysis)
• The fate of glucose 6-phosphate is determined to a large extent by the relative activities of phosphofructokinase (glycolysis) and glucose 6-P dehydrogenase (PPP)
• PFK is inhibited when the ATP/AMP ratio increases, it is inhibited by citrate but activated by fructose-2,6-
Trang 29Utilization of Glucose 6-phosphate
1. Both Ribose 5-P and NADPH Are Needed by the Cell:
→ the first 4 reactions of the PPP predominate
2 More Ribose 5-P Than NADPH Is Needed by the Cell:
→ oxidative steps of the PPP are bypassed
usage of 2 fructose 6-P and 1 glyceraldehyde 3-P
from glycolysis to produce 3 ribose 5-P
29
Trang 30Utilization of Glucose 6-phosphate
3 More NADPH Than Ribose 5-P Is Needed by the Cell:
→ Ribose 5-P produced in the PPP is recycled to produce
glycolytic intermediates
→ transketolase and transaldolase reactions to convert
ribulose 5-P to fructose 6-P and glyceraldehyde3-P,
which can be recycled to glucose 6-P via
gluconeogenesis
30
Trang 31Utilization of Glucose 6-phosphate
4 Both NADPH and ATP Are Needed by the Cell, but
Ribose 5-P is Not
→ accomplished in a series of reactions similar to case 3
if the fructose 6-P and glyceraldehyde3-P produced in proceed through glycolysis to produce ATP and pyruvate, which itself can yield even more ATP by continuing on to the TCA cycle
31
Trang 33G6P dehydrogenase protects cell from ROS
• NADPH generated in the PPP by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase plays a vital role in protecting the cells from ROS generated in oxidative metabolism
• Reduced glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide with a free
sulfhydryl group, combats oxidative stress by reducing ROS to harmless forms Its task accomplished, the
glutathione is now in the oxidized form (GSSG) and must
be reduced to regenerate GSH:

Trang 35Review of glycogen
• Storage of polysaccharides in animals
• Present in all cells but most prevalent in skeletal muscle and in liver as cytoplasmic granules
• The primary structure of glycogen resembles that of amylopectin but more highly branched, with branch points occurring every 8 to 14 glucose residues
Biochemistry, Tymoczko, Berge, Strayer
Branches every 25-30 units Branches every 8-14 units

phospholysis of glycogen to yield glucose 1-phosphate (G1P)

2 identical 97kD subunits
- Each subunit has a glycogen binding site and a catalytic site
- The orthophosphate substrate is bound to the catalytic site
- The cofactor PLP is linked to Lys 680 of the enzyme
- The separation of the binding site and catalytic site allows the
catalytic site to phosphorolyze several glucose units before the enzyme must rebind the glycogen substrate

Trang 51Regulation of glycogen phosphorylase
• Phosphorylase is regulated by several allosteric effectors that signal the energy state of the cell as well as by
reversible phosphorylation, which is responsive to
hormones such as insulin, epinephrine, and glucagon
• There are differences in the control of glycogen
degradation in skeletal muscle and liver, due to the fact
that the muscle uses glucose to produce energy for itself,
whereas the liver maintains glucose homeostasis of the organism as a whole

energy charge:
Biochemistry, Tymoczko, Berge, Strayer
Default state of muscle
phosphorylase is b form (b form
when resting)
Contracting muscle, ATP → AMP, muscle
phosphorylase b is activated → active R state → glycogen degradation
Low energy charge (high AMP conc.) favors the transition to R- state, signaled glycogen degradation

(covalent modification)

other tissues

When glucose is sufficient, no
need to degrade glycogen, the
enzyme reverts to the less active
T state
The default state of liver phoshorylase
is in a form (active R state) to form glucose to export to other tissues when blood-glucose is low
