	== Mechanism of Hexokinase ==		== Mechanism of Hexokinase ==

	In the first reaction of glycolysis, the gamma-phosphoryl group of an ATP molecule is transferred to the oxygen at the C-6 of glucose. Hexokinase catalyzes this phosphoryl group transfer. To start this reaction, ATP forms a complex with magnesium (II) ion and glucose binds to hexokinase. The magnesium-ATP complex then binds with the hexokinase-glucose complex and forms an intermediate (Zeng, et al. present a picture showing the interctions of brain hexokinase with ATP). Asp 532 and Thr 680 are thought to be involved in binding the magnesium ion in the magnesium-ATP complex [4]. The hydroxyl group on the terminal phosphoryl group of the ATP molecule nucleophilically attacks carbon 6 on glucose. This produces glucose-6-phosphate still bound to hexokinase and ADP still in complex with magnesium ion [5]. Glucose-6-phosphate and the magnesium-ADP complex leave hexokinase. Glucose-6-phosphate and ADP are the products of this reaction. Hexokinase undergoes an induced-fit conformational change when it binds to glucose, which ultimately prevents the hydrolysis of ATP. It also experiences potent allosteric inhibition under physiological concentrations by its immediate products, glucose-6-phosphate [4]. This is a mechanism by which the influx of substrate into the glycolytic pathway is controlled.
