Carbohydrate metabolism in the thermophilic archaeal bacterium Thermoproteus tenax is rather peculiar compared to the types of organisms usually studied in introductory biochemistry. T. tenax has two different glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) isoenzymes. One is well known and, although it requires NADP+ as a cofactor instead of NAD+, it resembles the GAPDH enzyme and is referred to as the “phosphorylating GAPDH”. In contrast, the second isoenzyme is irreversible and requires NAD+ as a cofactor and is referred to as the “nonphosphorylating GAPDH”. In this case, we will consider the properties of the latter enzyme.

In the space below, write down the balanced equation of the reaction catalyzed by the nonphosphorylating NAD+- dependent glyceraldehyde- 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and draw the substrates and products.
