Glycolysis Mnemonics

Glycolysis steps

"Goodness Gracious, Father Franklin Did Go By Picking Pumpkins (to)
Prepare Pies":

Glucose
Glucose-6-P
Fructose-6-P
Fructose-1,6-diP
Dihydroxyacetone-P
Glyceraldehyde-P
1,3-Biphosphoglycerate
3-Phosphoglycerate
2-Phosphoglycerate (to)
Phosphoenolpyruvate [PEP]
Pyruvate

· 'Did', 'By' and 'Pies' tell you the first part of those three: di-,
bi-, and py-.
· 'PrEPare' tells location of PEP in the process.
