Don't listen to some of the people here, I love your voice.. and helpful video.. Can you make a video which connects all the cycles of the metabolism of glucose.. Like glycolysis, gluconeogenesis,glycogenesis, glycogenolysis and some of the other cycles idk which all connects to which one.. it would be helpful in understand everything altogether

[@therambler3713]

Something else of note: the rate-limiting reaction/enzyme is glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The enzymes for rate-limiting steps of glucose metabolism are often tested on the MCAT.

I really found the video useful! Thank you :) I also didnt find her voice annoying at all, in fact i actually enjoyed it lol. Maybe because i am british, and its not everyday where i can get to have someone teach me something in that accent. It made me pay more attention to what she was saying :D

[@bonbonpony]

Nice introduction of the pathway. It could be more helpful if you can make a video interconnecting the intermediates of glycolysis and the pentose pathway.

disagree. i think one of the major challenges of PPP is understanding "what's the point?" the discussion during this time helps with that. also, conceptual context helps with memorizing these pathways.

[@theclassroomdoc]

I'm quite confused about one matter. First, thanks sooo much for the great video. There is a supplement called d-ribose often used to treat fibromyalgia and its described mechanism is that it helps replenish ATP. Given that you have specifically noted here that the PPP is not involved in any production of ATP I cannot explain the theoretical use of d-ribose for increasing ATP other than the fact that it shuttles off at some point to enter glycolysis... in which case why not just support glycolysis. Appreciate any thoughts!!! #gratitude

[@melissak7052]

Thank you!

[@dimkacracker]

One thing to note: There are 4 different paths that PPP can take. 1. NADPH needs exceed ribose-5-phosphate needs, 2. ribose-5-phosphate needs exceed NADPH needs, 3. NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate needs are equal, 4. NADPH and ATP are needed over ribose-5-phosphate. Depending on whichever, PPP will choose to take different conversions.

[@mo-jl8im]

Glu is the abbreviation for glutamic acid. Glc is better for glucose. It's a small point, but the beginners get easily confused.

3 stages to PPP pathway; oxidative decarboxylation, isomerization, and sugar rearrangements. Also the most important reason PPP exist is to provide the precursors for RNA/DNA biosynthesis, NADPH is tertiary, erythrose is second. For those reviewing concepts of the PPP for Microbial Metabolism anyways! Only the first 2 minutes is all you need the rest is good but not for this section.

Traci Provins occurs in cytosol of the cell in areobic or non aerobic and the purpose produce NADPH and ribose 5 phosphate which is inportant for nucleotide synthesis then for DNA and RNA synthesis

I wish this was an actual in-depth lecture, with formulas and all ..becaue this teacher's voice is hypnotic! It's weirdly high-pitched but calming at the same time. So makes me alert in a curious way.

[@dr.tariqmerestani3027]

non-oxidative phase doesn't produce ribulose-5-phosphate. it's actually produced in the oxidative phase. Non-oxidative reactions:are series of carbon-shuffling steps during which three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-carbon monosaccharide phosphates are produced

[@dimkacracker]

yup, in my book it says oxidative phase ends with production of ribose-5-phosphate.

[@dr.tariqmerestani3027]

@@dimkacracker Thanks for bringing me back 6 years!

[@s101077]

U have a sweet voice

[@bonbonpony]

Is this pathway somehow related to the Calvin Cycle's RuBP regeneration phase? I see it produces some of its intermediates, such as xylulose and erythrose.

[@daniellekernan2052]

You need to be careful writing things like "Glu" and "Gly" because those are short hand for glutamate and glycine!

u might want to skip 3:30 to 8:10 if you already know the differences between NADH & NADPH.

[@puriezeondy9425]

Can I just say that the first PRIMARY product of this reaction is RIBULOSE-5-PHOSPHATE and not ribose-5-phosphate. Just for those that might be revising for medial or biomedical exams, you need to be accurate!

[@puttatidam.1819]

actually she is correct. Ribose-5-phosphate is a primary product (---> nucleic acid) Ribulose 1-5, diphosphate is also made, these two are two different things.

[@palshah3509]

If confused here @ninjanerdscience does a very good job in explaining this

[@theclassroomdoc]

Thanks so much and agree with Jeet, ignore people who focus on your voice (beyond me how they can be so ungrateful!!!). Had a question. The supplement d-ribose often recommended for fibromyalgia is often touted as something that helps energy for muscles (implied is more ATP). Obviously this is not correct. What do you think is the reason this may help chronic muscle pain or with angina (muscle pain again). Thanks so much for any help!

[@lizzychan844]

Why is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate produced after the first transketolase reaction isn't fed into glycolysis and then both it and the sedoheptulose-7-phosphate go down the pathway to give G3P and F6P?

[@EDUARDO12348]

So interesting what cells can do... in this example a delicious meal can be broken down in glucose which can serve to build cellular software called DNA.

[@reinemachefrau8633]

Very interesting Eduardo... very interesting. I can hardly think about something more interesting 😂

[@juxsoundz4822]

This girl goes to Harvard Medical School? This kind of reassures me that even people at the highly esteemed schools are not necessarily on a higher level of education than the rest

[@bmx687]

JUX SOUNDZ agreed. An education is an education and a person can get an education that is on par with the IVY schools without attending one

[@bonbonpony]

JUX SOUNDZ That's because education is one thing, and knowledge & understanding is another thing. It doesn't necessarily come hand in hand. But with Jasmine, she's dealing very good with this scientific stuff. Sure, not *perfectly* good, but good enough for most people's purposes.
