Glucose-6-phosphate

Glucose-6-phosphate

(Science: biochemistry) glucose 6-phosphate is a phosphomonoester of glucose that is formed by transfer of phosphate from atp, catalysed by the enzyme hexokinase.

It is an intermediate both of the glycolytic pathway (next converted to fructose 6 phosphate) and of the nadph generating pentose Phosphate Pathway, formed from glucose via hexokinase. However it is not strictly a glycolytic intermediate and it is readily converted to glycogen or oxidized to nadph.

Re: can galactose be convert into fructose?

... galactose cannot be transformed/converted to fructose (a sugar found in fruits). This is because both the aforementioned are monosaccharides . a) glucose + glucose => maltose b)glucose + galactose => lactose c) glucose + fructose => sucrose On another note, these two simple sugars are ...

can galactose be convert into fructose?

hi all.i need to ask some questions...because it was asked by my lecture...in glycolysis process,why glucose cannot be phosphorylated two times and directly converted to glucose-1,6 biphosphate instead of fructose 1,6 biphoshpate?..and secondly, can galactose be transformed ...
