| How dietary starch/glycogen and intracellular glycogen is broken down |
-dietary starch/glycogen is first broken down in mouth and then in intestines by hydrolysis of alpha (1-->4) linkages
starch/glycogen ---> oligosaccacharides ---> glucose
-intracellular glycogen is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase into glucose-1-phosphate -phosphoglucomutase converts G-1-P to G-6-P enters glycolysis |

| Regeneration of NAD+ anaerobically |

| How does a partial deficiency of hexokinase affect ability of RBCs to transport oxygen? |
-lower [glycolytic intermediates] b/c hexokinase catalyzes 1st rxn -lower 2,3-BPG [] -increased Hb oxygen affinity -person doesn't get as much O2 |

| *How does hexokinase prevent wasteful hydrolysis of ATP? |
-HK catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose to yield GP6, but not to water to yield ADP and Pi -water can fit in active site! -glucose induces large conformational change in HK -like closing jaws on glucose -places ATP closely to proper -OH of glucose and excludes H2O from the active site -substrate-induced conformational change in HK is responsible for the enzyme's specificity -undergo conformational changes upon binding their substrates |

 |
| *2 major differences between hexokinase and glucokinase |
1. HK is non-specific (catalyzes D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose) Its Km is 10-20 microM.
2. Glucokinase (aka Hexokinase D) is the predominant isozyme of hexokinase in the liver. It is specific for glucose. Its Km is 10mM. |
