This reaction prevents the phosphorylated glucose molecule from continuing to interact with the GLUT proteins. It can no longer leave the cell because the negatively-charged phosphate will not allow it to cross the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane.
Step 2. In the second step of glycolysis, an isomerase converts glucosephosphate into one of its isomers, fructosephosphate.
An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a molecule into one of its isomers is an isomerase. This change from phosphoglucose to phosphofructose allows the eventual split of the sugar into two three-carbon molecules. Step 3. The third step is the phosphorylation of fructosephosphate, catalyzed by the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
A second ATP molecule donates a high-energy phosphate to fructosephosphate, producing fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. In this pathway, phosphofructokinase is a rate-limiting enzyme.
This is a type of end-product inhibition, since ATP is the end product of glucose catabolism. Step 4. The newly-added high-energy phosphates further destabilize fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The fourth step in glycolysis employs an enzyme, aldolase, to cleave 1,6-bisphosphate into two three-carbon isomers: dihydroxyacetone-phosphate and glyceraldehydephosphate.
Step 5. In the fifth step, an isomerase transforms the dihydroxyacetone-phosphate into its isomer, glyceraldehydephosphate. Thus, the pathway will continue with two molecules of a single isomer. At this point in the pathway, there is a net investment of energy from two ATP molecules in the breakdown of one glucose molecule. So far, glycolysis has cost the cell two ATP molecules and produced two small, three-carbon sugar molecules.
Both of these molecules will proceed through the second half of the pathway where sufficient energy will be extracted to pay back the two ATP molecules used as an initial investment while also producing a profit for the cell of two additional ATP molecules and two even higher-energy NADH molecules. Step 6.
The sugar is then phosphorylated by the addition of a second phosphate group, producing 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Note that the second phosphate group does not require another ATP molecule. Here, again, there is a potential limiting factor for this pathway. If oxygen is available in the system, the NADH will be oxidized readily, though indirectly, and the high-energy electrons from the hydrogen released in this process will be used to produce ATP.
Step 7. In the seventh step, catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase an enzyme named for the reverse reaction , 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate donates a high-energy phosphate to ADP, forming one molecule of ATP. This is an example of substrate-level phosphorylation. A carbonyl group on the 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is oxidized to a carboxyl group, and 3-phosphoglycerate is formed.
Step 8. In the eighth step, the remaining phosphate group in 3-phosphoglycerate moves from the third carbon to the second carbon, producing 2-phosphoglycerate an isomer of 3-phosphoglycerate.
The enzyme catalyzing this step is a mutase isomerase. Step 9. Enolase catalyzes the ninth step. This enzyme causes 2-phosphoglycerate to lose water from its structure; this is a dehydration reaction, resulting in the formation of a double bond that increases the potential energy in the remaining phosphate bond and produces phosphoenolpyruvate PEP. Step Many enzymes in enzymatic pathways are named for the reverse reactions since the enzyme can catalyze both forward and reverse reactions these may have been described initially by the reverse reaction that takes place in vitro, under non-physiological conditions.
Glycolysis starts with one molecule of glucose and ends with two pyruvate pyruvic acid molecules, a total of four ATP molecules, and two molecules of NADH. Two ATP molecules were used in the first half of the pathway to prepare the six-carbon ring for cleavage, so the cell has a net gain of two ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules for its use.
If the cell cannot catabolize the pyruvate molecules further via the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle , it will harvest only two ATP molecules from one molecule of glucose.
Mature mammalian red blood cells do not have mitochondria and are not capable of aerobic respiration, the process in which organisms convert energy in the presence of oxygen. Instead, glycolysis is their sole source of ATP.
Therefore, if glycolysis is interrupted, the red blood cells lose their ability to maintain their sodium-potassium pumps, which require ATP to function, and eventually, they die. Additionally, the last step in glycolysis will not occur if pyruvate kinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of pyruvate, is not available in sufficient quantities. In this situation, the entire glycolysis pathway will continue to proceed, but only two ATP molecules will be made in the second half instead of the usual four ATP molecules.
Thus, pyruvate kinase is a rate-limiting enzyme for glycolysis. Instead, glycolysis is their sole source of ATP.

Learning Objectives Describe the energy obtained from one molecule of glucose going through glycolysis. Enzymes that catalyze the reactions that produce ATP are rate-limiting steps of glycolysis and must be present in sufficient quantities for glycolysis to complete the production of four ATP, two NADH, and two pyruvate molecules for each glucose molecule that enters the pathway.
Red blood cells require glycolysis as their sole source of ATP in order to survive, because they do not have mitochondria. Cancer cells and stem cells also use glycolysis as the main source of ATP process known as aerobic glycolysis, or Warburg effect. Key Terms pyruvate : any salt or ester of pyruvic acid; the end product of glycolysis before entering the TCA cycle.
