what is the purpose of step 5 in glycolysis. Can pyrutate be made without the enzyme that catalyzes step 5?
In this step(5), two main events take place: 1) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is oxidized by the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD); 2) the molecule is phosphorylated by the addition of a free phosphate group. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase (GAPDH).
i cant figure out or find anhything online to say if it is necessary or if there is some major purpose of step 5 i know what occurs but not the importance....someone please help me i have an exam tomorrow morning!!!
