Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate	Reaction 5: Oxidation/Phosphate Ester Synthesis This reaction is first an oxidation involving the coenzyme NAD+. The aldehyde is oxidized to an acid as an intermediate through the conversion of NAD+ to NADH + H+. Then an inorganic phosphate is added in a phosphate esteer synthesis. This and all remaining reactions occur twice for each glucose-6-phosphate (six carbons), since there are now two molecules of 3-carbons each. This reaction is catalyzed by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.	1,3-Diphosphoglycerate
