How is redox state changed during glycolysis?

Best Answers

No redox occurs. Glucose 6-phosphate (0) is isomerized to fructose 6-phosphate (0). Since this is an isomerization, the overall oxidation state doesn't change. However, C1 is reduced whereas C2 is oxidized, because the isomerization swaps an alcohol and a carbonyl. Fructose 6-phosphate (0) is phosphorylated at the 1-position to give fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (0). No redox occurs. read more
