Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect on the cell in case pyruvate kinase catalyzes PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) conversion to pyruvate without coupling with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production.

Introduction:

The reactions must be carried out very precisely and with coordination in all the living cells. The activation energy determines the rate of reaction. It moves the reactants to a high transition state, so that they can form the products. Enzymes help in decreasing the activation energy of the reaction without being consumed.
