Enzymatic Diagram Of Glycolysis. This is a ten step process completed in two phase preparatory and payoff phases. Glucose is a six memebered ring molecule found in the blood and is usually a result of the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.
Every stage in each process is catalysed by a specific enzyme. Download scientific diagram schematic diagram of glycolysis. As for any chemical reaction when the reactant glucose is available in excess there is an increase in the reaction rate.
5 figure 1 shows the 10 steps and 10 specific enzymes which are hexokinase hk phosphoglucose isomerase pgi phosphofructokinase pfk aldolase triosephosphate isomerase tpi glyceraldehyde 3.
Also the enzyme can provide oxaloacetate which is an important metabolite in the tca cycle more on that in ch. However it is assumed as a linear pathway of ten enzyme meditation steps. Each chemical modification is performed by a different enzyme. The word glycolysis is derived from two greek words and means the breakdown of something sweet.
