Understanding this is the key to understanding why WP1122 may represent a major breakthrough. Glycolysis and glycosylation sound similar, but they are very different, even though they rely on the same base material, glucose, which is essentially sugar. In highly simplified terms, glycolysis converts glucose into fuel and glycosylation uses glucose to help build important protein structures that enable the way our cells function with each other and respond to changes in their environment. When viruses like SARS-CoV-2 invade our cells, they coopt these processes to increase both their infectivity and their replication.
