Document Summary

Lecture 2 topic 2a glycolysis (may 25. Glycolysis in the context of metabolism: glycolysis is a catabolic pathway (downward-facing arrow), meaning that it is a pathway that makes free energy available to the cell) Semester: summer 2020: glycolysis is pretty much a pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, so it is important to also begin by discussing the generic structure of a carbohydrate. All sugars of one size (ex. all hexoses) have the same chemical formula (isomers: in this case, we can make the following notations about the isomeric characteristics. L-glucose: glucose and fructose => structural isomers => different physical atom connectivity, glucose and galactose => stereoisomers => different spatial orientation of atoms. If caused by only one chiral carbon => epimers (glucose and mannose are as well) If caused by 2 or more chiral carbons => diastereomers (ex. galactose + mannose: if they differ in spatial orientation at all chiral carbons => mirror => enantiomers.
