Glycolysis

Rate limiting step - phosphofructo kinase
Fluoride inhibits enolase
Lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to lactic acid in anerobic resp.

ATP
Steps 1 and 3 = - 2ATP
Steps 6 and 9 = + 4 ATP
Net "visible" ATP produced = 2.


NADPH
Reaction 5 is an oxidation where NAD+ removes 2 hydrogens and 2 electrons to produce NADH and H+. Since this reaction occurs twice, 2 NAD+ coenzymes are used.




 Step

 ATP (used -) (produced +)

 1

 -1

 3

 -1

 5 - NADH to E.T.C to FAD = 2
step 5 used twice


2 x 2 = +4

 6 used twice

 1 x 2 = + 2

 9 used twice

 1 x 2 = + 2

 NET

 6 ATP
