  • Glycolysis: Allosteric Regulation of PFK-1

    Glycolysis: Allosteric Regulation of PFK-1
    2025/01/15
    This podcast covers the allosteric regulation of Phosphofructokinase 1( PFK-1). A key allosteric activator is F2,6 bis-phosphate, which is produced by PFK-2 in the well-fed state. The production of this molecule is increased by the dephosphorylation of PFK-2, the enzyme responsible for its production. insulin will activate this enzyme by promoting g its dephodphorylation.Thus resulting in higher levels of F2, 6 bis-phosphate in the cytoplasm and resulting in the activation of PFK-1 and Glycolysis.

  • Classification of Amino Acids

    Classification of Amino Acids
    2025/01/03
    Amino acids can be classified as essential or non- essential. They can also be classified by the carbon skeletons they produce during catabolism. These carbon skeletons can be either glucogenic or ketogenic.

  • Cell-Cell Communication

    Cell-Cell Communication
    2024/11/17
    Cell-Cell Communication is a fundamental process that is essential for the regulation of metabolism in various organs. Through hormones of the endocrine system, signals are chemically transmitted through the bloostream between different organs. The outcome of a hormone binding its specific receptor in target tissues can produce profound effects on metabolism. Insulin and its effects on the liver, is used as an example of the outcome of communication between the pancreas and the liver.
