Fig. 5.22 Pentose phosphate pathway<br />

3. The 6-phosphogluconolactone is hydrolysed by gluconolactonase<br />

to form 6-phosphogluconic acid.<br />

4. The 6-phosphogluconic acid undergoes oxidative decarboxylation<br />

again in the presence of NADP + to form Ru5P. This reaction is catalyzed<br />

by 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase. NADP + is reduced to NADPH 2 .<br />

In this reaction CO 2 is released.<br />
