DIY Glycolysis

Go on to the next step.


Step Three - Phosphorylation of Fructose 6-phosphate by ATP

Product Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate

Well done. Soon you will split the carbon skeleton in two. Now that you have a phosphate at each end the products of that split will each have a phosphate 'handle'.

You've invested two ATPs so far, so you will have get them back at some point.


So far two ATP spent & redox balanced.
