Lecture 25. Metabolic regulation: Glycolysis

Thursday 25 April 2019

Regulation of glycolysis. Reactions of gluconeogenesis. Substrate cycles. Reciprocal regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. (p.564)

Reading: Lehninger - Ch.14, p. 545, p.548; Ch.15, pp.575-584.


Summary

The regulation of the glycolytic pathway also has a logic, one that is context-dependent. We finish our study of glycolysis with a look at some control issues. In order to fully understand the regulation of glycolysis, we must know a little bit about its alter-ego pathway, gluconeogenesis, along with general principles of metabolic regulation.
