Question
Look at the glycolysis pathway (Figure 22.3 ). With what type of reactions are kinase enzymes usually associated?
Step 1
Kinase enzymes are crucial in the glycolysis pathway. They are responsible for catalyzing the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates. This process is known as phosphorylation. Show more…

Look at the entire glycolysis pathway, and make a list of the kinds of organic reactions that take place-nucleophilic acyl substitutions, aldol reactions, E1cB reactions, and so forth.
What reaction serves to link glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, and what is the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction?
Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the addition (or removal) of a phosphate group to (or from) a substance. ATP is also involved. How many kinases are in glycolysis? Name them.
