Glycolysis Allostery

The video tutorial explains the allosteric control of glycolysis, focusing on three key enzymes: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase. It discusses how energy charge influences glycolysis, with high energy molecules like ATP and NADH inhibiting the process, while low energy molecules like ADP and AMP activate it. The tutorial also covers the role of allosteric activators and inhibitors in regulating these enzymes, and introduces gluconeogenesis as the reverse process of glycolysis.
