Enzymology of Cancer Cells: (Second of Two Parts)

Weber, George·1977·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Carbohydrate Metabolism — Imbalance in Cancer Cells (Fig. 5)Liver and hepatomas are freely permeable to glucose; thus, the activity and concentration of competing enzyme systems (in the presence of cofactors) determine the fate of the hexose. The catabolic pathway of glucose, glycolysis, is opposed by the synthetic pathway of glucose production, gluconeogenesis. The three key enzymes of glycolysis (glucokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase) are opposed by the four key gluconeogenic enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase [FDPase], phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate carboxylase). The concept of key enzymes was developed from observations that the rate and direction of the opposing pathways of . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
