DIY Glycolysis

Forward to Strategy.

Introduction

The aim of this exercise is to help you understand the processes which occur in (anaerobic) glycolysis. Starting with glucose you will choose the reaction types in sequence which will achieve the desired end point. I.e.:

1. Glucose converted to lactate.
2. ATP generated.
3. Oxidation balanced with reduction.

It is assumed that you have been introduced to glycolysis already - this application is intended to help you consolidate your understanding. You can still work through the exercise even if you are new to glycolysis by using a lot of trial and error.
