Molecules
146 recordsATP
Adenosine triphosphate, the cell's main short-term energy carrier.
Glucose · Glc
A six-carbon sugar and the starting fuel for glycolysis.
DNA
A double-stranded molecule whose sequence stores and passes on hereditary information in most cells.
Pyruvate
The three-carbon end product of glycolysis. It can be oxidized in mitochondria or reduced to lactate.
NADH
Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which carries electrons away from glycolysis.
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
3-Phosphoglycerate with the phosphate moved to carbon 2.
