What reaction is represented in the diagram? Correct Answer Oxidative step of pentose phosphate pathway
Pentose phosphate pathway has two steps: oxidative and non-oxidative. Oxidative step is represented in the following diagram. Glucose-6-phosphate is converted to 6-phosphoglucono-δ-lactone by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. This is converted to 6-phosphogluconate which is then converted to ribulose-5-phosphate by 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. This is called oxidative decarboxylation.
