This story starts with one lonely glucose molecule, Mr. Glucose had dreams of being converted into two pyruvate molecules
I just want to be two pyruvate molecules!
2
Mr. Glucose was so desperate that he met up with Mr. Hexokinase in the dangerous part of town. Mr. Hexokinase was part of the enzyme gang, and rumor had it that Mr. Hexokinase had access to the ATP.
Ya, I've got some ATP for you. With my help I can give you one of the phosphates and convert the ATP into ADP.
3
Right there, in the dangerous part of town, Mr. Glucose was converted into Glucose-6-Phosphate.
4
Glucose-6-Phospate went home and he liked what he saw. But he still felt unbalanced in some way, he decided to to meet up with an old friend, Isomerase.
I feel so unbalanced, I'm going to meet up with Isomerase
5
Isomerase gave his friend a massage to help him feel more balanced, during his massage he rearranged Glucose-6-Phosphate into Fructose-6-Phosphate.
I can help you feel more balanced
6
He felt much more balanced as an Fructose-6-Phosphate
7
Even though he was feeling a bit better, Fructose-6-Phosphate still felt as if something was off. He remembered he had some left over ATP and decided to use it.
I do have some ATP left... and some Phosphofructokinase...
8
Using Phosphofructokinase (PFK), with magnesium as a cofactor, and the ATP, Fructose-6-Phosphate changed into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
9
The ATP gave one of its phosphate groups, it became ADP. This made him have a phosphate group on each side! He was finally symmetrical! But he knew what was coming next, he could feel his urge to split coming on.
I MUST FIND ALDOLASE! He can help me.
10
Aldolase agreed to help fructose 1,6-bisphosphate split, he could see how desperate he was.
11
12
Aldolase split fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate into two sugars that are isomers of each other. These two sugars are dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP).
13
Triophosphate Isomerase heard the screaming from the split and rapidly inter-converted the dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP). Glyceraldehyde phosphate is removed and will be used soon.
