Abstract excerpt
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinases catalyse the reversible formation of oxaloacetate (OAA) and ATP (or GTP) from PEP, ADP (or GDP) and CO(2). They are activated by Mn(2+), a metal ion that coordinates to the protein through the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue, the N(epsilon-2)-imida...
