Example submission:


Development of a New Assay for Glucose-1,6-Bisphosphate Production
Matthew Mergy*, Daniel Neiss, and Mark E. Brandt
Department of Chemistry, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, IN 47803


Although glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is not an intermediate in the metabolism of glucose, some evidence suggests that glucose-1,6-bisphosphate may have a regulatory role in glycolysis. . . .
