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.
Kinetoplasts are only found in protozoa of the class Kinetoplastida. The variation in the structures of kinetoplasts may reflect phylogenic relationships between kinetoplastids. A kinetoplast is usually adjacent to the organism's flagellar basal body, suggesting that it is tightly bound to the cytoskeleton.In Trypanosoma brucei this cytoskeletal connection is called the tripartite attachment complex and includes the protein p166. kinetoplast is usually adjacent to the organism's flagellar basal body, suggesting that it is tightly bound to the cytoskeleton.
