Alternative definition : KEGG: Glycolysis is the process of converting glucose into pyruvate and generating
small amounts of ATP (energy) and NADH (reducing power). It is a central pathway that
produces important precursor metabolites: six-carbon compounds of glucose-6P and fructose-6P
and three-carbon compounds of glycerone-P, glyceraldehyde-3P, glycerate-3P, phosphoenolpyruvate,
and pyruvate. Acetyl-CoA, another important precursor metabolite, is produced by oxidative
decarboxylation of pyruvate. When the enzyme genes of this pathway are examined in
completely sequenced genomes, the reaction steps of three-carbon compounds from glycerone-P
to pyruvate form a conserved core module, which is found in almost all organisms and
which often corresponds to operon structures in bacterial genomes. Gluconeogenesis
is a synthesis pathway of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors. It is essentially
a reversal of glycolysis with minor variations of alternative paths.;
