Basically, you're lectures will most likely help me become a doctor. When that happens and if you're still around, I'm making a fat donation! You are literally a dream maker!
Oy my God this guy teaches way better than any lecturer l have. He is a superstar and worth donating to. Keep it up once l am done with my school l must will for sure donate
I love your videos!!! It is the most clear explanation of biochem I have ever seen. I have been staring at the book for hours, and went to my prof's office many times and got nothing. I feel it's such a waste of money and time to go a university while better teachers are out there teach for free or with much lower cost. Stupid outdated and rigid education system
hexokinase (so far what ive learned) only plays a part in a specific step in glycolysis. Hexokinase doesnt really form G6P, its just an enzyme that does a job in a particular way, meaning u shouldnt see it as hexokinase forms G6P, its more liek what hexokinase does to glucose forms G6P. There are multiple pathways to creating G6P and degradation of glycogen bypasses the need for hexokinase because another mecanism is used instead- as explained in this video. During glycolysis, hexokinase takes glucose and phosphorylates it into G6P by adding a phosphate group at the 6th carbon on glucose. This reaction seen in this video, however, doesnt start with glucose, it starts with glycogen. So theres no need for hexokinase because theres already a phosphate group on the glucose 1 phosphate sugar, only it is on carbon 1 and not carbon 6, which is why the whole 3rd step in the video transforms G1P into G6P. Basically, this process is different because glucose is a 6-carbon sugar without phosphate group, whereas in this situation *glycogen phosphorylate* will be adding a phosphate group to the glucose that was cleaved from the alpha 1-4 glycosidic bond, creating G1P. Hexokinase cant rlly work with G1P (in this context), only with glucose. hope this helps whoevers having the same question :)
Thank you a lot! I think there should be an H2O in the reaction that is catalyzed by alpha-1,6-glucosidase, when a glucose molecule is released. :) The remaining glycogen + H2O ---(alpha-1,6-glucosidase)--> glucose + The remaining glycogen
Would the free glucose that was released from it's alpha 1,6- glycobond not just be exported straight out of the liver? Or is this model representative of muscle cells? Thanks for the videos. Very concise and efficient
So in both the glycogenesis and glycogenolysis videos, you said that the phosphoryl group is essentially moved from carbon 1 to carbon 6. Is it because the phosphoryl group always starts at carbon 1 relative to the oxygen?
Hi your way of teaching is excellent but in this lecture i have 2 questions 1st is that is the degradation of glycogen is started only at the alpha 1-6 chain or it is also occured at alpha 1-4 chain at same time? 2nd glucose is converted to glucose 6 phosphate by any cell to capture it inside cell and to prevent from escaping. in third step glucose 6 phosphate is synthesised now can u explain me that how it is transported to other cells from liver. How could it escaped out from liver cell when in form of glucose 6 phosphate
Why does hexokinase form glucose-1-phosphate just so phophoglucomutase can convert it to glucose-6-phosphate from the α(1-->6) cleaved glucose by α(1-->6) glucosidase? Wouldn't it be more efficient if hexokinase just forms the glucose-6-phosphate just like it does in glycolysis?
I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully some magical person comes and explains. If you have an idea why since you made this comment 3months ago, I'd appreciate the answer...though when I come to think of it I'll probably not need the info once today's exam is done, hahaha.
they have different function dear ….. hexokinase is convert glucose to glucose -6-phosphate by using ATP but the function of phosphoglucomutase just transfer p group fromone side to another in the same molecule و الله أعلم
At the first I will thank you so much for this encrideble explanation and for your time which u spend to explain these lectures❤❤❤ but I have a question is the transferase and alpha1,4-glucosidase the same thing with the debranching enzyme??? #aklectures
And also glycogen is broken down to provide glucose so if we produce glucose 6 phosphate in third step how it converted in to glucose as we mention conversion of glucose to glucose 6 phosphate as irreversible reaction
Andrei Munteanu if glucose 6 P is in muscle cells how could glucose 6 phosphatase of liver will reverse it as glucose 6 P form is only present inside cells so they can't escape out
Ehsan Humayun Yes, there is no g-6-phosphatase in the muscle cell, and in fact muscle cells don't have the ability to rise the blood sugar level unless g-6-p undergoes anerobic glycolysis, gets transformed into lactate that travels to the liver or the kidneys where it becomes glucose by GNG.
Why am I paying a university thousands of dollars when this guy offers the same thing but vastly superior for free?
bob higgins you won't get a degree by watching his videos
papers...
For a paper actually...
Here we get knowledge, there a piece of paper.
Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks a lot!
he should wear a cape tho
This guy is worth donation we should all at least support by any amount of money we can afford
The interesting thing is that this guy is good at everything , he is an asset for science
Honestly you couldn’t have explained better. You saved biochemistry in my medicine studies, THANK YOU!
Forever grateful to you, sir. Thank you for being a GREAT teacher!
7 years later and i'm commenting because your videos have been so incredibly helpful for the mcat. thank you so much for these.
things made so simpler! wayy to go #AKLectures :) thank you!!
+Aanal Bhatt you're welcome! :-) glad to hear that
I freaked out earlier today since I could not catch up with the materials... And I found your series.... THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Saving medical students once again AK Lectures. Keep it up!!!
Basically, you're lectures will most likely help me become a doctor. When that happens and if you're still around, I'm making a fat donation! You are literally a dream maker!
i wish he would put his older lectures in a playlist too bc this material is way over my head.
I’m so so thankful for you
You are perfect
@Ak LECTURES
Oy my God this guy teaches way better than any lecturer l have. He is a superstar and worth donating to. Keep it up once l am done with my school l must will for sure donate
Sir!. You are doing a great Job... Your way to teach is outstanding...!
I can't imagine my Biochemistry without you..
Stay Blessed ❤️❤️❤️
your great! would be really good if you get a little into the clinical aspect of things, but I genuinely appreciate it
this dominates my textbook.
didn't understand anything after 30 minutes reading
learned it here in 13:25
I just took my biochem final and I could literally see your diagrams in my head when I answered questions. Thank you :)
Incredibly helpful! Thank you, Andrey K!✊🙏
Thanks a lot....In few minutes you explain what our Professors explain in hours.
you are the best ever ....thnk you sooooooooooo much ..you always make it so clear and simple for me .....love youuuuuuuuu
He gives lecture a way better than our universities professors
YOU ARE THE BEST!!I got a 9/10 because of you!!!!
These lectures are fantastic, thank you so much! :)
this is so helpful i wish u had a video on photosynthesis
these lectures are extremely helpful. thank you.
You have made it very much easier to understand!! Detailed and awesome explanation:) Thanks aLot!!

best professor ever
Awesome lecture. Thank you sir..
Rids Butterfly 😍
great video!! Thank you very much for the clear n very digestible information!👌✌
Thank you!! Everything are so clear!
I really appreciate your effort (y)
Thank you very much, that was so helpful :)
Excellent job this helped so much!
this was extremely helpful, thank you so much
You were sent from heaven, I am sure of it.
you made biochemistry an easy interesting science☺ big thank you ..wish you all the best #AkLectures
You are best✨
You know how to simplify biochemistry
Thanks alot 🤗🤩
Any other medical students here? This guy has literally saved me. I hate biochemistry but he makes it slightly more tolerable.
Im not sure if my university teaches glycogen breakdown or my mental breakdown
So blessed . tysm for these lectures
8:58 doesnt hexokinase form glucose-6-phoshate?
why does it form directly the glucose-1-P?
Because of the fact that it was just cleaved from the 6th carbon on the linear chain leaving the first carbon open and reactive
hexokinase (so far what ive learned) only plays a part in a specific step in glycolysis. Hexokinase doesnt really form G6P, its just an enzyme that does a job in a particular way, meaning u shouldnt see it as hexokinase forms G6P, its more liek what hexokinase does to glucose forms G6P.

thank you so much!!! u explained it way better than my lectuers :D
I swear that you are better than my lecturer 😌
وحش ايمن :)
Wonderfully explained the most difficult and boring subject "BIOCHEMISTRY" in Highly digestible form. Thank you SIR
thank you so much i was desperate with biochemistry :P big thanks you are the best !
thank u sooooooo muchhh
sir excellent video i have ever watched
Thank you a lot!
I think there should be an H2O in the reaction that is catalyzed by alpha-1,6-glucosidase, when a glucose molecule is released. :)
The remaining glycogen + H2O ---(alpha-1,6-glucosidase)--> glucose + The remaining glycogen

God bless you, sir. God bless you!
Fabulous lectures thank u,
btw... are u Ukranian?
Nope.
This is amazing. Thank you!
Thank you sooooo much, this is very helpful to me,.....Awesome lecture :DDDD
Thank u so much dear sir...!
Really ur videos care magnificent thx a bunch
So in both the glycogenesis and glycogenolysis videos, you said that the phosphoryl group is essentially moved from carbon 1 to carbon 6. Is it because the phosphoryl group always starts at carbon 1 relative to the oxygen?
incredibly amazing:') big thanks
Awesome videos!
I LOVE YOU. i mean it with all my heart.
Thank you!!!!! Just a simple Q: Step 3 is it reversible?
Hi your way of teaching is excellent
but in this lecture i have 2 questions
1st is that is the degradation of glycogen is started only at the alpha 1-6 chain or it is also occured at alpha 1-4 chain at same time?
2nd glucose is converted to glucose 6 phosphate by any cell to capture it inside cell and to prevent from escaping. in third step glucose 6 phosphate is synthesised now can u explain me that how it is transported to other cells from liver. How could it escaped out from liver cell when in form of glucose 6 phosphate
You are great one😊😊💜
u r the best sir

enzymes and substrate have absolute specificity...one enzyme can not catalayse another substrate
they have different function dear ….. hexokinase is convert glucose to glucose -6-phosphate by using ATP but the function of phosphoglucomutase just transfer p group fromone side to another in the same molecule و الله أعلم
Great job thank you
really helped thank you
Brilliant!
Can you make a video on "Breakdown of starch" ? Please @AK lectures
Thank you so much 💓
AMAZING THANK YOU
At the first I will thank you so much for this encrideble explanation and for your time which u spend to explain these lectures❤❤❤ but I have a question is the transferase and alpha1,4-glucosidase the same thing with the debranching enzyme???
#aklectures
it's alpha-1,6-glucosidase; and yes, they're both debranching enzymes! :D
Andrey K for president !!!!!
Thank you sir
thank you so much
Great video!! thank you! :)
Thank you!
what is the name of the enzyme in eukaryotes that replaces transferase and alpha 1-6 glucosidase? is it hexokinase? +Ak Lectures
what primay first product formed by glycogen decomposition????
bravo from Pakistan
Thank you !!
dude you are awesome
awesome just awesome
Is the remaining residual core not broken down further?
Why does hexokinase form glucose-6-phosphate in glycolysis but it forms glucose-1-phosphate in this situation?
can y give some notes in your video in pdf from
do u follow stryer for this references?
Love it
Awesome *-*
Thanku sir ☺☺☺
Thanks 💙💙💙💙💙💙
And also glycogen is broken down to provide glucose so if we produce glucose 6 phosphate in third step how it converted in to glucose as we mention conversion of glucose to glucose 6 phosphate as irreversible reaction
+Ehsan Humayun Glucose to G6P is a reversible reaction catalysed by Hexokinase

Can you plz send notes of this??!!!
Youll find it on my website
@@AKLECTURES OK thank you so much
at about 4:28 you said Glucose and I think you meant glycogen
I LOVE YOU
