  2. Substrate-level phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate-level_phosphory...

    Substrate-level phosphorylation exemplified with the conversion of ADP to ATP. Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolism reaction that results in the production of ATP or GTP supported by the energy released from another high-energy bond that leads to phosphorylation of ADP or GDP to ATP or GTP (note that the reaction catalyzed by creatine kinase is not considered as "substrate-level ...

  3. Pyruvate kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_kinase

    Many Enterobacteriaceae, including E. coli, have two isoforms of pyruvate kinase, PykA and PykF, which are 37% identical in E. coli (Uniprot: PykA, PykF).They catalyze the same reaction as in eukaryotes, namely the generation of ATP from ADP and PEP, the last step in glycolysis, a step that is irreversible under physiological conditions.

  4. Phosphoenolpyruvic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoenolpyruvic_acid

    Phosphoenolpyruvate (2-phosphoenolpyruvate, PEP) is the carboxylic acid derived from the enol of pyruvate and phosphate. It exists as an anion. PEP is an important intermediate in biochemistry. It has the highest-energy phosphate bond found (−61.9 kJ/mol) in organisms, and is involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

  5. Pyruvate, water dikinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate,_water_dikinase

    Pyruvate, water dikinase in Pyrococcus furiosus primarily catalyzes the reaction that goes from phosphoenolpyruvate and AMP to pyruvate and ATP, but can also catalyze the reverse reaction. [1] This reaction is thought to be important because it converts AMP into usable ATP energy during this sugar M-EMP metabolism.

  6. Energy charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_charge

    ATP can also be produced by “substrate level phosphorylation” reactions (ADP phosphorylation by (1,3)-bisphosphoglycerate, phosphoenolpyruvate, phosphocreatine), by the succinate-CoA ligase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylkinase, and by adenylate kinase, an enzyme that maintains the three adenine nucleotides in equilibrium (+).

  7. PEP group translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEP_group_translocation

    PEP (phosphoenol pyruvate) group translocation, also known as the phosphotransferase system or PTS, is a distinct method used by bacteria for sugar uptake where the source of energy is from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). It is known to be a multicomponent system that always involves enzymes of the plasma membrane and those in the cytoplasm.

  8. Adenosine diphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_diphosphate

    Energy transfer used by all living things is a result of dephosphorylation of ATP by enzymes known as ATPases. The cleavage of a phosphate group from ATP results in the coupling of energy to metabolic reactions and a by-product of ADP. [1] ATP is continually reformed from lower-energy species ADP and AMP.

  9. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoenolpyruvate...

    As a phosphate is transferred, the reaction results in a GDP molecule. [10] When pyruvate kinase – the enzyme that normally catalyzes the reaction that converts PEP to pyruvate – is knocked out in mutants of Bacillus subtilis , PEPCK participates in one of the replacement anaplerotic reactions , working in the reverse direction of its ...
