Pyruvate kinase is a transferase enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, yielding one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of ATP.
Chemical reaction
Rate equation
The rate equation is represented by the allosteric regualation model of Monod, Wyman and Changeux (MWS).
