Phosphoryl-Group Transfer • Phosphoryl-group-transfer potential - the ability of a compound to transfer its phosphoryl group • Energy-rich or high-energycompounds have group transfer potentials equal to or greater than that of ATP • Low-energycompounds have group transfer potentials less than that of ATP
Transfer of the phosphoryl group from PEP to ADP • Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) (a glycolytic intermediate) has a high P-group transfer potential • PEP can donate a P to ADP to form ATP
