    In the mechanism for hydrolysis, water acts as a nucleophile and ATP acts as an electrophile. That's a problem because ATP is negatively charged. It will not attract electrons very easily. By binding to magnesium ion (Mg2+), the charge on the ATP will be lowered, accelerating the reaction with water.

    \[glucose + 2ATP \rightarrow 2G3P + 2ADP \nonumber\]

    \[G3O + NAD^{+} + PO_{4}^{3-} + 2ADP \rightarrow pyr + NADH + 2ATP + H_{2}O \nonumber\]

    First we need to realise that one glucose gives rise to two molecules of G3P, so the second phase occurs twice for every glucose molecule consumed.

    \[2G3P + 2NAD^{+} + 2PO_{4}^{3-} + 4ADP \rightarrow 2pyr + 2NADH + 4ATP + 2H_{2}O \nonumber\]

    Adding the equations for the two phases together gives:

    \[glucose + 2ATP + 2G3P + 2NAD^{+} + 2PO_{4}^{3-} + 4ADP \rightarrow 2G3P + 2ADP + 2pyr + 2NADH + 4ATP + 2H_{2}O \nonumber\]

    That equation can be simplified, because some things appear on both the left and the right. It's just like algebra.

    \[glucose + 2NAD^{+} + 2PO_{4}^{3-} + 2ADP \rightarrow 2pyr + 2NADH + 2ATP + 2H_{2}O \nonumber\]
