How To Use glycolysis In A Sentence

  • Meyerhof was convinced that an active form of hexosemonophosphate was an intermediate in glycolysis and associated with the formation of pyruvate. Otto Meyerhof and the Physiology Institute: the Birth of Modern Biochemistry
  • Conclusion It is suggested that the increased synthesis of GLUT1 and GLUT3 induced by HI could accelerate the utilization of glucose in the brain and adapt to the requirement of anaerobic glycolysis.
  • Consequently, these mutant cells rely exclusively on glycolysis for their energy requirements and require exogenous pyruvate and pyrimidines for growth.
  • Of Meyerhof's many achievements, perhaps the most important is his proof that, in isolated but otherwise intact frog muscle, the lactic acid formed is reconverted to carbohydrate in the presence of oxygen, and his preparation of a KC1 extract of muscle which could carry out all the steps of glycolysis with added glycogen and hexose-diphosphate in the presence of hexokinase derived from yeast. Otto Meyerhof - Biography
  • Although ATP plays a critical role in glycolysis, it is only one actor among many in a very large production. Otto Meyerhof and the Physiology Institute: the Birth of Modern Biochemistry
  • This picture only gradually became clear as Meyerhof and others simultaneously worked out the cyclical process of glycolysis and the reversibility of certain reactions. Otto Meyerhof and the Physiology Institute: the Birth of Modern Biochemistry
  • They report that a single switch in a splice isoform of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase is necessary for the shift in cellular metabolism to aerobic glycolysis and that this promotes tumorigenesis. Carbohydrates are addictive | The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.
  • Reactions leading to esterification were particularly difficult to identify, because these processes take place at different levels of glycolysis. Otto Meyerhof and the Physiology Institute: the Birth of Modern Biochemistry
  • Consequently, these mutant cells rely exclusively on glycolysis for their energy requirements and require exogenous pyruvate and pyrimidines for growth.
  • Since the pools of glycolysis intermediates are very low in plant cells in the absence of oxygen, it seems unlikely that MeG synthesis started at the level of hexoses (or trioses) phosphate.
