Where does dehydration occur in glycolysis?

Dehydration occurs during the payoff phase (at 9th step) of glycolysis to yield enolase (energy-rich enol phosphodiester).

Hey Sandip,
Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate.
◆ Answer -
Dehydration occurs in 9th step of glycolysis.
2-Phosphoglycerate gets dehydrated to form phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP). The reaction takes place in presence of enzyme enolase.
PGA + enolase --> PEP + H2O
This PEP being unstable molecule is later dephosphorylated to pyruvate.
Hope this helped you. Thanks for asking dear.
