Your essay topic is going to be on hexokinase and glucokinase (the first step of glycolysis). Describe where hexokinase and glucokinase are found in the body. What important function does glucokinase play (beyond just phosphorylating glucose) and what special features of the enzyme allow it to do this? How is hexokinase inhibited? If it is inhibited, what impact does that have on the downstream pathways citric acid cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation?
