That reaction is followed by the transfer of a dihidroxyacetone moiety from a ketose seduheptulose compound; the latter transfer is catalyzed by transaldolase.
FIST  PACKET BY CHICAGO  Tossups  A mutation that reduces coenzyme affinity in an enzyme unique to this process leads to a disease characterized by memory loss, confusion, and partial paralysis, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Deficiency of one enzyme used in this process can result in hemolytic anemia and primaquine sensitivity; that condition, favism, is named for the bean whose consumption can cause the symptoms. One reaction in this process sees the transfer of C1 and C2 from one compound to another; that reaction sees TPP act as a coenzyme to transketolase. That reaction is followed by the transfer of a dihidroxyacetone moiety from a ketose seduheptulose compound; the latter transfer is catalyzed by transaldolase. The first phase of this pathway begins with a xylulose compound produced by the epimerization of a ribulose compound. Its oxidative phase generates six NADPH for every three glucose-6-phosphate molecules that enter this pathway. For 10 points, identify this pathway, usually named for its five-sugar intermediate.
