Isn't PEP is 3C carbon molecule? Coz in step 2 the structure formula for PEP have only 2 carbons, there should be one -COOH molecule attached on the 1st carbon and the C=O bond should be C-0-H2PO3. please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thx for the nice lecture sir! And I saw an miswritten thing which is the double bond btw C and O of phosphoenolpyruvate on the 2nd step on the right side. Thx!
thanks for your wonderful lectures...i am a student from india...your way of teacher is very good....bless u wish u lots of health and wealth...keep goin
I think you're missing the orthophosphate generated from step 1 in the net reaction. That, and the pentavalent carbon draw in step 2 aside, this lecture is great.
I havent't understood why in step 1 phosphorylation is considered an exoergonic process, while in step 2 it is considered an endoergonic process. Thanks to whoever will answer!
PEP is the highest energy compound, so the phosphorylation of oxaloacetate that results in its formation would still be energetically unfavorable. This is my reasoning
This is a wonderful lecture and has really helped me. One note tho. I believe the structure u wrote for phosphoenolpyruvate is incorrect simply by the fact that carbon cannot have 5 bonds :)
Do you think you could have a few seconds at the beginning or end of your lecture where you are completely out of the frame? I'd like to screenshot you're board to study later. Thanks for the amazing videos, you are making grad biochem much easier for me!
kindly, enlighten me on this: in step 10 of glycolysis, is pyruvate changed to pep? you said so in the beginning of this lecture. thanks. i love your lectures.
where does the HO go from the HOCO2-PO3 in step 1? Also in step 2 the CO2 is lost from the oxaloacetate, but where does the CO go from the second COO- group in oxaloacetate when transformed into Phosphoenolpyruvate?
During glycolysis if we have pyruvate shuttle to cross the inner membrane.. So during glucneogenesis why pyruvate does not cross the inner membrane of mitochondria to go outside.. Why it will convert itself to oxaloacetate? Plz reply
I'm a bit confused. Why is it that in the second step, oxaloacetate is being converted into PEP but the first of the two reactions shown start with pyruvate and the oxaloacetate acts as an intermediate?
it is energetically more favorable to first form the pyruvate to oxalacetate (also the step from phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate is irreversible) --> oxalacetate then acts as an intermediate and can be formed back to PEP which then reacts back the ways through the glycolysis to form glucose
If glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and the final step of glycolysis produces pyruvate(which is in the cytoplasm), how does the first step of gluconeogenesis takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria? or is the pyruvate that is produced in the cytoplasm from glycolysis transported into the matrix of the mitochondria?
Thank you for the explanation :) I have a doubt though. HCO3 is found in the rbc's but gluconeogenesis is carried out in hepatocytes. How are these correlated ? Thank you in advance :)
I love your lectures - so clear, so concise, so helpful! 1000x better than Khan Academy :)
agreed
really better than Khan Academy. well i've not watched the same lesson from both cos once i come here, i'm sAtisfied.
Thank you so much ! I have an exam in about 15 days, and these lectures have been helping me a great deal. Your work has not been in vain !
AK lectures you are an absolute life saver thank you for everything that you do
This man is abnormally brilliant. I'm amazed. Keep it up.
the phosphoenolpyruvate in step 2 is drawn incorrectly. There are only 2 carbons, but should contain 3
instead of the central carbon having a carbonyl group it should be bonded to a carboxyl group.
Great videos though

You are a wonderful tutor.

I see a pentavalent carbon!! other than that, fantastic lecture as always. Keep it up!
I love your lectures and much clearer.
Thank you so much, now this mechanism will be easier for me.
Thank you so much. I really wish you happiness from all my heart!
thanks for your wonderful lectures...i am a student from india...your way of teacher is very good....bless u wish u lots of health and wealth...keep goin
Your videos are so helpful! Thanks a lot!
Your lecture concept clear my doubts
Best teacher of biochemistry .☺☺☺well explained sir ☺
you are the best ever.
this was so helpful!!!
Thank you very much for the explanation!
u r the best!
thank you so much you are a hero

thank you very much. i have an paper about in 3 days these lecture have been helping me.
excellent lecture!

coolnight987 Yes, it should contain a -COO group instead of the carbonyl group. Refer to my other lectures for its proper structure.

Wonderful lectures , assist in the study of lippincott (which can get really dry btw)
U are perfect...
Endless gratitude
Hi. I love your lectures. The PEP illustration is however incorrect, Sir. Thank you for these!
really???
kindly, enlighten me on this: in step 10 of glycolysis, is pyruvate changed to pep? you said so in the beginning of this lecture. thanks. i love your lectures.
I think it should be phosphoenolpyruvate (pep) to pyruvate
I love you so much.
Thankyouuu!💫
where does the HO go from the HOCO2-PO3 in step 1? Also in step 2 the CO2 is lost from the oxaloacetate, but where does the CO go from the second COO- group in oxaloacetate when transformed into Phosphoenolpyruvate?
I enjoyed it
I wanna know if there's any book contains this detailed informations??
Lehninger Principles of biochemistry
During glycolysis if we have pyruvate shuttle to cross the inner membrane.. So during glucneogenesis why pyruvate does not cross the inner membrane of mitochondria to go outside.. Why it will convert itself to oxaloacetate? Plz reply
So how does acetic acid prevent hunger and increase lipolysis?
Please can we get the soft copy of the notes you write on the board.PLEASE!!

The pyruvate can enter the mitochondria from the cytoplasm.
Pyruvate transported to mitochondria matrix via mitochonrial carrier to be decarpoxylated to acetyle co A for energt production
If anyone can answer, where does the 2H+ come from in the first step?
Thank you for the explanation :)
I have a doubt though. HCO3 is found in the rbc's but gluconeogenesis is carried out in hepatocytes. How are these correlated ?
Thank you in advance :)
i dedicate the A i intend to get to you!
PEP structure is missing a carbon
Your chemical structure for phosphoenolpyruvate is wrong....
beyond comment
Why are you so smart?
lost for words buddy
Can you be my teacher
