Study Notes
Glycolysis Reactions
- Glycolysis begins with the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glucose, catalyzed by hexokinase, forming Glucose 6-phosphate.
- Glucose-6-phosphate is converted into its isomer, fructose-6-phosphate through isomerization.
- The second ATP-dependent phosphorylation is catalyzed by phosphofructokinase, forming a hexose derivative, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), phosphorylated at both carbons 1 and 6.
- Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved to give 2 three-carbon intermediates, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), catalyzed by aldolase.
- Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) through isomerization catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase.
