What is the Capacity Factor of Glycolysis in Cells?

[Boomer Dave]

Hello. I'm in the process of teaching myself cell bio and I'm curious to find a good source with actual rates of glycolysis in cells. In a nutshell, I'm wondering what the maximum rate of ATP production within the cell is (assuming a normal yet constant extracellular concentration of glucose) and how this compares to the average needs of the cell (normal rate of energy production/use). This would be like asking for the capacity factor of a power plant. I realize this probably varies by cell type and there appears to be both passive and active glucose uptake (not that this is necessarily the rate-limiting process), but any explanation or directions to a solid source would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm trying to get a good idea of the the order of magnitude and how it changes during the cell cycle.

Not sure if the site has the answer, but you may want to check out the BioNumbers database and the associated (free) online textbook:
