Lecture #11 Coupling Pathways
Outline • Some biochemistry • The pentose pathway; • a central metabolic pathway producing pentoses and NADPH • Co-factor coupling • NADPH, CO2, GSH • The stoichiometric matrix for PPP • Its null spaces • Setting up a simulation model • Steady state • Coupling to glycolysis • Interpreting the results from simulation • Concentrations, fluxes, pools, ratios
PPP: the oxidative and non-oxidative branches non-oxidative oxidative Coupling w/glycolysis
PPP: oxidative branch Glutathione buffers NADPH: GSH + NADP GSSG + NADPH
Coupling Pathways THE PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY

New slide • Add more explanation of the ratios
Summary • The pentose pathway can be described in a similar way as glycolysis • A simulation model can be formulated • The two stoichiometric matrices describing the two pathways can be merged • The coupling metabolites are G6P, F6P, GAP • The structure of the null space for glycolysis alone and the coupled pathways is similar • Pools and ratios can be formed as before • Simulation to 50% increase in rate of utilization of ATP is similar to that of glycolysis alone • Systems biology shows up • Definition of pathways, definition of pools
