Pentose Phosphate
An example of a pathway that can be both:• Anabolic
– Generates ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis
– Metabolizes dietary pentoses into glycolytic/gluconeogenic intermediates.
• Catabolic– Generates reducing power (NADPH)– Can completely oxidize glucose– Can carry on into glycolysis
Aka Hexose Monophosphate Shunt
NADH vs NADPH
As a general rule of thumb:• NAD+/NADH is used in catabolic processes• NADP+/NADPH is used in anabolic processes

Glutathione
-SH containing tripeptideGlu-Cys-GlyAmino of Cysteine linked to -carboxyl of glutamateCommonly used for reducing agent in cellsOxidizes to for disulfide-linked GSSGRereduced to GSH using NADPH
Making Glutathione
• For the Reaction to form GSH:GSSG + 2e- + 2H+ ⇄ 2GSH -0.23 V
NADPH + H+ ⇄ NADP+ + 2e- + 2 H+ +0.32 V
GSSG + NADPH + H+ ⇄ 2GSH + NADP+ +0.09 V

Divicine is found in fava beans and some other legumes
Favas (broad beans) are common foodstuffs in the old world.Largest production in Europe and China.
The parent plant, Vicia faba, is among the oldest cultivated plants - ~6,000 years.
For what it’s worth…
Glucose-6-P Dehydrogenase Deficiency
• Effects ~ 4*108 people worldwide• Most common human genetic disease• X-linked• Lack of G-6PD means lack of NADPH• Lack of NADPH means lack of GSH• Lack of GSH means excess of peroxides• RBC membranes particularly susceptible to
peroxides• Hemolytic Anemia

Control• Conversion of glucose-6-Pi to the lactone is
essentially irreversible. • The enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase, controls the rate of the pathway. – NADPH competes with NADP for binding in he
active site; – ATP competes with glucose-6-phosphate.
• At high [NADPH] and/or high [ATP], entrance into the pathway is restricted.
