Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis: Energy Production and Regeneration of NAD+, Study notes of Chemistry

An overview of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, two metabolic pathways involved in the breakdown and synthesis of glucose, respectively. The logic of the steps, the role of enzymes and their mechanisms, the differences between aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and the energetics and regulation of these processes. It also includes information on the aldolase mechanism and the role of acid-base and covalent catalysis.
