3.5.1.7 Transfer of phosphate group from 1, 3 bisphosphoglycerate

3.5.1.7 Step 7: Transfer of phosphate group from 1, 3 bisphosphoglycerate

1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate is oxidized to 3- phosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate kinase. This high- energy phosphate is captured as ATP in a further reaction with ADP.


Phosphoglycerate kinase

1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate+ ADP 3- phosphoglycerate+ATP


Since two molecules of triose phosphate are formed per molecule of glucose undergoing glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are generated at this stage per molecule of glucose.
