Fig. 1.1. Glycolysis pathway (it consists of 10 steps, each catalyzed by an enzyme).<br />

This is a universal pathway (Fig. 1.1) for the breakdown of glucose (a hexose,<br />

6C) to two molecules of triose (3C) that occurs <strong>in</strong> all types of biological cells.<br />

Glycolysis has a 10-step biochemical pathway:<br />

Step 1: Glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate catalyzed by a hexok<strong>in</strong>ase with<br />

energy provided by an ATP.<br />

Step 2: Glucose-6-phosphate is isomerized to fructose-6-phosphate <strong>in</strong> the presence<br />

of phosphoglucose isomerase.<br />

Step 3: Fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate catalyzed by<br />

phosphofructok<strong>in</strong>ase with energy provided by a second molecule of ATP.<br />

Step 4: Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is then split <strong>in</strong>to two triose molecules—dihydroxyacetone<br />

phosphate <strong>and</strong> glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, catalyzed by a fructose<br />

bisphosphate aldolase.<br />

Step 5: Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is isomerized to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate <strong>in</strong><br />

a reversible reaction catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase—<strong>in</strong> theory,<br />

a glucose molecule can yield two 3-glyceraldehyde molecules via steps 4<br />

<strong>and</strong> 5.<br />

Step 6: Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate with the<br />

addition of a molecule of <strong>in</strong>organic phosphate (P i ) catalyzed by glyceraldehyde<br />

phosphate dehydrogenase <strong>in</strong> the presence of a cofactor NAD + , which<br />

is reduced to NADH + H + + 2é.<br />

Step 7: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is transformed to 3-phosphoglycerate catalyzed by<br />

phosphoglycerate k<strong>in</strong>ase with the production of a molecule of ATP from<br />

ADP.<br />
