Wood that I Could

Mechanisms and principles associated with organic and biochemistry; just remember that a grain of salt or two should be taken with each bite:) Each post will have a brief introduction to the purpose of the post, and THERE WILL BE AN AUDIOVISUAL TUTORIAL CORRESPONDING to the the theme. Just click on the link:) Also, I couldn't figure out how to reverse the order to oldest to newest, so you have to go from the bottom of the page to start at the beginning. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!!

Glycolysis--Step 6 Enzymatically

Glyceraldehye-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase is the enzyme used in step six for the conversion of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

Remember that an enzyme is a three dimensional structure that binds (sometimes covalently) a substrate and enables a reaction to occur at a much more controlled if not faster rate.

So put on your headlamps and go into the active site...:)

Here's the link for the stepwise mechanism of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase: ACTIVE SITE!!!
