Water · H2O
Removed from 2-phosphoglycerate by enolase.
1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate · 1,3BPG
An acyl-phosphate with high phosphoryl-transfer potential, formed when G3P is oxidized.
10-Formyltetrahydrofolate · 10-formyl-THF
A folate cofactor that donates one-carbon units during purine-ring synthesis.
2-Oxoglutarate · α-KG
A five-carbon citric acid cycle intermediate also called alpha-ketoglutarate.
2-Phosphoglycerate · 2PG
