EI initiates the phosphorylation chain by autophosphorylating with phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), and the phosphoryl group is subsequently transferred to the His15 residue in HPr. HPr then donates the ...

Dr. Paul Larsen, a professor of biochemistry at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), has focused his research on using genetic modification to enhance carbon capture in plants. Beginning his ...

The second reaction where ATP synthesis occurs is the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate. PEP is a high-energy compound due to its phosphate-ester bond, and therefore the ...

phosphoenolpyruvate carbosykinase deficiency; PPA, propionic acidemia; PCD, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency; VLCADD, very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Adapted with permission from ...
