Introduction
Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate dehydrogenase is an Oxidoreductase and is involved in many important biochemical reactions. This protein is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of glyceraldeyde 3-Phosphate into 1,3-Biphosphoglycerate in a two step coupled mechanism. This conversion occurs during step 6 or the beginning of the "payoff phase" of glycolysis (the second half of the entire process) in which ATP and NADH is produced. A total of 2 NADH and 4 ATP are produced during this phase for a net gain of 2 NADH and 2 ATP for the entire glycolysis pathway per glucose.
