Document Summary

Study online at quizlet. com/_18byzq: 1 a) which glycolytic reaction or reactions are redox, 9. : the reaction catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase converting 1, 3-bisphosphateglycerate to 3- phosphoglycerate and the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase converting phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate are the two reactions that produce atp. Per glucose molecule, these two reactions together produce 4 atp: 5. A gain of function mutation in an enzyme increases the activity of the enzyme. : pfk2 catalyzes the production of fructose-2, 6- bisphosphate. Fructose-2,6-bp is an allosteric activator of the glycolytic enzyme pfk1. Therefore, a gain-of-function mutation in pfk2 would increase the levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and thus the rate of glycolysis: 6. Pfk2 catalyzes the production of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate, which is an allosteric activator of the glycolytic enzyme pfk1. Pfk2 is regulated by phosphorylation, where phosphorylation inactivates pfk2. Proliferating cells need to synthesize a lot of lipids, proteins, dna and rna. The pentose phosphate pathway yields nadph needed for biosynthetic reactions.
