The enzyme hexokinase catalyzes the first reaction in the glycolytic pathway. In this reaction, glucose is phosphorylated to form glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) with ATP as the phosphate donor and energy source: glucose + ATP –> glucose-6-phosphate + ADP delta-G-naught-prime for this reaction at 25 degrees C is -4.0 kcal/mol. The concentration […]
