Glycolysis
1. Hexokinase catalyzes:
Glucose + ATP glucose-6-P + ADP
The reaction involves nucleophilic attack of the C6
hydroxyl O of glucose on P of the terminal phosphate
of ATP.
ATP binds to the enzyme as a complex with Mg++.

Hexokinase
Induced fit:
Binding of glucose to Hexokinase promotes a large
conformational change by stabilizing an alternative
conformation in which:
the C6 hydroxyl of the bound glucose is close to the
terminal phosphate of ATP, promoting catalysis.
water is excluded from the active site. This prevents
the enzyme from catalyzing ATP hydrolysis, rather
than transfer of phosphate to glucose.

3. Phosphofructokinase catalyzes:
fructose-6-P + ATP fructose-1,6-bisP + ADP
This highly spontaneous reaction has a mechanism similar
to that of Hexokinase.
The Phosphofructokinase reaction is the rate-limiting step
of Glycolysis.
The enzyme is highly regulated, as will be discussed later.
