29 Introduction
We
have now studied the typical reactions of the
major classes of organic compounds, and the
structure and reactions of carbohydrates and
lipids
Now let us apply this background to the study of
the organic chemistry of metabolism
We study two key metabolic pathways
• -oxidation of fatty acids
• glycolysis
29-3
29 Five Key Participants
Five
of the compounds participating in these and
a great many other metabolic pathways:
• ATP, ADP, and AMP are universal carriers of phosphate
groups
• NAD+/NADH and FAD/FADH2 are coenzymes involved
in the oxidation/reduction of metabolic intermediates
Coenzyme: a low-molecular weight, nonprotein
molecule or ion that binds reversibly to an
enzyme, functions as a second substrate, and is
regenerated by further reaction

29 Fatty Acids and Energy
Fatty
acids in triglycerides are the principle
storage form of energy for most organisms
• carbon chains are in a highly reduced form
• the energy yield per gram of fatty acid oxidized is
greater than that per gram of carbohydrate

29 Oxidation of Fatty Acids
There
are two major stages in the oxidation of
fatty acids
• activation of the free fatty acid in the cytoplasm and its
transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane
• -oxidation
-Oxidation:
a series of four enzyme-catalyzed
reactions that cleaves carbon atoms two at a
time, from the carboxyl end of a fatty acids
29-15
29 Activation of Fatty Acids
• activation begins in the cytoplasm with formation of a
thioester between the carboxyl group of the fatty acid
and the sulfhydryl group of coenzyme A
• formation of the acyl-CoA derivative is coupled with
the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP and pyrophosphate

29 Fates of Pyruvate
Pyruvate
does not accumulate in cells, but rather
undergoes one of three enzyme-catalyzed
reactions, depending of the type of cell and its
state of oxygenation
• reduction to lactate
• reduction to ethanol
• oxidation and decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA
A
key to understanding the biochemical logic
behind two of these fates is to recognize that
glycolysis needs a continuing supply of NAD+
• if no oxygen is present to reoxidize NADH to NAD+,
then another way must be found to do it
29-39
29 Lactate Fermentation
• in vertebrates under anaerobic conditions, the most
important pathway for the regeneration of NAD+ is
reduction of pyruvate to lactate

29 Pyruvate to Lactate

continue, it increases the concentration of lactate and
also of H+ in muscle tissue, as seen in this balanced
half-reaction

decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetylCoA is considerably more complex than the
previous equation suggests
In addition to NAD+ (from the vitamin niacin) and
coenzyme A (from the vitamin pantothenic acid),
it also requires
• FAD (from the vitamin riboflavin)
• pyridoxal phosphate (from the vitamin pyridoxine)
• lipoic acid
