QUESTION:
Give an example of substrate-level phosphorylation in a pathway other than the citric acid cycle.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Glycolysis - Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to Pyruvate
During glycolysis, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is converted into pyruvate in the seventh step. In this step, PEP donates a phosphate group directly to ADP, forming ATP. The enzyme responsible for this transfer is pyruvate kinase.
\({\rm{PEP + ADP}} \to {\rm{Pyruvate + ATP}}\)
