The new pathway is intended to replace the natural metabolic pathway known as glycolysis, a series of chemical reactions that nearly all organisms use to convert sugars into the molecular precursors that cells need. The researchers dubbed their new hybrid pathway non-oxidative glycolysis, or NOG. —Bogorad et al.
