DIY Glycolysis

Go on to the next step.


Step One - Phosphorylation of Glucose by ATP

Product Glucose 6-phosphate

Good! By phosphorylating glucose you have put a charged 'handle' onto the molecule at one end. You've also got an irreversible step at the start of the pathway which is another good idea. This would make an ideal point for a control step.


So far one ATP spent & redox balanced.
