Pentose Phosphate Pathway Hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt / Phosphogluconate pathway. • ATP is the cell’s “energy” BUT • Cells also have….REDUCING POWER! • Processes (such as photosynthesis) require NADPH as well as ATP • NADH and NADPH are NOT interchangable
NADH and NADPH are NOT interchangable • NAD+ participates in synthesis of ATP • glycoloysis, oxidative phosphorylation • NADPH is a reducing agent • produced in light reactions and consumed in Calvin cycle of photosynthesis NADP+ + 2H ---> NADPH + H+ In the cell… [NAD+] ~ 1000 [NADP+] ~ 0.01 [NADH] [NADPH]
