Abstract excerpt
Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) catalyzes the reversible reaction: ATP + P(i) + pyruvate <--> AMP + PP(i) + PEP using Mg2+ and NH4+ ions as cofactors. The reaction takes place in three steps, each mediated by a carrier histidine residue located on the surface of the central domain of this three-domain enzyme: (1) E-His + ATP <--> E-His-PP.AMP, (2) E-His-PP.AMP + P(i) <--> E-His-P + AMP + PP(i), (3) E-His-P +...
