Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas Pathway glycolysis

A major route of breakdown of carbohydrates is the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, often referred to simply as glycolysis. It is indicated on the left side of Fig. 10-1 and in more detail in Figs.

The biochemistry of alcoholic fermentation involves a series of internal enzyme-mediated oxidation-reduction reactions m which glucose is degraded via the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway See also Carbohydrates and Glycolysis. 

The sequence of biochemical steps by which glucose is degraded to pyruvic acid is called glycolysis or the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) Pathway, and is shown... 

The details of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas glycolytic pathway are thoroughly discussed in several recent articles (83y 84,86,88), The comparative biochemistry of glycolysis is discussed by Stumpf (85),...
