G6P t F6P

Glycolysis

Glucose 6-phosphate <-(Phosphoglucose isomerase)-> Fructose 6-phosphate

Phosphoglucose isomerase

Fundamentals:

  • Glucose (aldose) is changed into Fructose (ketose)
    • Only three carbon molecuels are metabolized and this makes it easier to cleave into the 3C fragments
Entry Points

Specifics

  • Galactose is funelled through this step in Glycolysis
