3.5.1.10 Transfer of phosphate group from phosphoenol pyruvate to ADP and conversion of phosphoenol pyruvate to enolpyruvate
The high-energy phosphate of phosphoenol pyruvate is transferred to ADP by the enzyme pyruvate kinase to generate, at this stage, two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized and enolpyruvate is formed. Enolpyruvate formed is converted spontaneousny to the keto form pyruvate. This is an irreversible step. Pyruvate kinase Phosphoenol pyruvate + ADP → Enolpyruvate+ ATP Enolpyruvate → Pyruvate |
