During glycolysis, which one of the following intermediates undergoes oxidation as well as phosphorylation?
Options
- A3-PGAL
- BFructose-1,6-diphosphate
- C2-PGA
- D3-PGA
Correct answer
A. 3-PGAL
Step-by-step solution
During glycolysis, the conversion of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (3-PGAL) to 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (1,3-BPGA) is catalyzed by the enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
In this step, 3-PGAL undergoes oxidation by the removal of hydrogen, which is accepted by to form . Simultaneously, it undergoes phosphorylation by the addition of inorganic phosphate (H_3PO_4
