16 molecules of ATP might theoretically have been produced when coupled to the conversion of one molecule phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate because,
It is catalyzed by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.
ATP: Adenosine triphosphate is an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.
Formula: C₁₀H₁₆N₅O₁₃P₃
The conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate,
The pathway of the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid is termed as glycolysis. This pathway is a step-wise process in which several molecules are released like 4 ATPs, 2 ADPs, water and 2 (NADH + H⁺)when the reactant intermediates undergo a reaction.
The penultimate step of glycolysis is catalyzed by pyruvate kinase. A phosphate from phosphoenolpyruvate is transferred to ADP to form pyruvate and ATP by the action of pyruvate kinase.
