About this document
Overview of Glycolysis Pathway by Ainsley is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and produces a small amount of ATP. It occurs in 10 steps involving several enzymes: (1) hexokinase phosphorylates glucose to G6P, (2) phosphoglucose isomerase converts G6P to F6P, (3) phosphofructokinase phosphorylates F6P to FBP using ATP, (4) aldolase cleaves FBP into two 3-carbon molecules DHAP and GAP, (5) triosephosphate isomerase converts DHAP to GAP, (6) GAPDH oxidizes GAP producing NADH and 1,3-BPG, (7)
