The canonical glycolysis pathway converts glucose into two molecules of acetyl-CoA via a cascade of eleven biochemical reactions. This study repurposes phosphoketolase to construct an artificial pathway which comprises only three reactions and could theoretically achieve a 100% carbon yield of acetyl-CoA from any sugar.
"To examine whether #muscle contraction changes the distribution of #carnitine and its derivatives, unilateral in situ muscle contraction was performed; 60 min muscle contraction showed increased d3-carnitine and its derivative d3-acetylcarnitine in the muscle, indicating that carnitine uptake in cells is promptly converted to acetylcarnitine, consequently, buffering accumulated acetyl-CoA."
