Abstract:
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) from Phycomyces blakesleeanus was partially purified by protamine sulfate precipitation, ammoniumsulfate precipitation, and diethylamino ethyl cellulose (DEAE) treatment. This preparation was employed for the characterization of the enzyme. The Km values for phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and ADP were determined as 1.6 and 0.42 mM. The nucleotid specificity was demonstrated for ADP exclusively. The use of sulfuryl reagents showed the presence of thiol groups sensitive against p-hydroxymercuribenzoate but not effected by N-ethylmaleimide.

Phosphorylation
During phosphorylation, protein kinases transfer the terminal phosphate group of ATP to specific amino acid side chains of substrate proteins. Serine, threonine, and tyrosine are the most commonly...
Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
