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

*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
