The second stage of glycolysis is an isomerization reaction. In this reaction the glucose-6-phosphate is rearranged into fructose-6-phosphate by the enzyme glucose phosphate isomerase. This is a reversible reaction under normal conditions of the cell.
Kinetochore. A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape; the centromere is difficult to sequence. Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page.
The centromere (centro- + -mere) is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first defined as genetic loci that direhromosomes.
