Glycolysis in red blood cells
1. Relies exclusively on glycolysis as fuel to produce ATP;
2. End product is lactate;
3. Produce 2,3-BPG enhancing the ability of RBCs to release oxygen.

The Citric Acid CycleThe Citric Acid CycleKreb’s Cycle Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TAC)
“ The wheel is turnin’ and the sugar’s a burnin’”
More than 95% of the energy for the human being is generated through this pathway (in conjunction with the oxidative phosphorylation process)

Pyruvate + CoA + NADPyruvate + CoA + NAD++ Acetyl-CoA + CO Acetyl-CoA + CO2 2 + NADH + H+ NADH + H++
Pyruvate produced from glycolysis must be decarboxylated to acetyl Pyruvate produced from glycolysis must be decarboxylated to acetyl CoA before it enters TCA cycle.CoA before it enters TCA cycle.
Key irreversible step in the metabolism of glucose.

Reaction irreversible
Pyruvate is first transported into mitochondria via a specific transporter on the inner membrane and then oxidized to acetyl-CoA by the catalysis of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

Summary
• Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, a huge enzyme complex.
• Acetyl-CoA is converted to 2 CO2 via the eight-step citric acid cycle, generating three NADH, one FADH2, and one ATP (by substrate-level phophorylation).
• Intermediates of citric acid cycle are also used as biosynthetic precursors for many other biomolecules, including fatty acids, steroids, amino acids, heme, pyrimidines, and glucose.

Why is citric acid cycle so important?Citric acid cycle is of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration.
In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is part of a metabolic pathway involved in the chemical conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate energy.
In addition, it provides precursors for synthesis of many compounds including some amino acids.
In carbohydrate metabolism:
1. Glycolysis to produce pyruvate;
2. Pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA;
3. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle.
30
In protein catabolism: 1. Proteins are broken down by proteases into their constituent amino acids. 2. The carbon backbone of these amino acids are converted to acetyl-CoA and entering into the citric acid cycle.
In fat catabolism: 1. Triglycerides are hydrolyzed to into fatty acids and glycerol. 2. In the liver the glycerol can be converted into pyruvate. 3. Fatty acids are broken down through a process known as beta oxidation which results in acetyl-coA which can be used in the citric acid cycle.

Total Energy per glucose through aerobic
oxidation • Cytosol
– 2 ATP– 2 NADH
• NADH in cytosol can’t get into mitochondrion• In eukaryotes two pathways to transfer NADH into MC
– transferred to FADH2
» get 1.5 ATP/ FADH2
» 2 X 1.5 ATP = 3 ATP– Or transferred to NADH
» Get 2.5 ATP/ NADH» 2 NADH X 2.5 ATP= 5 ATP
Total 3+ 2 or 5 + 2 so either 5 or 7 ATP
