In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-biphosphate is split into two different molecules with distinct structures. Which enzyme is responsible for converting one of those molecules to be the same as the other?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triose phosphate isomerase converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), which are the two different molecules that result from the splitting of fructose 1,6-biphosphate. This enzyme facilitates the conversion of DHAP to G3P, allowing both molecules to proceed through glycolysis.
