Which enzyme catalyzes reaction the reaction shown?
A) enolase
B) pyruvate dehydrogenase
C) pyruvate kinase
D) phosphoglycerate mutase

Question

Which enzyme catalyzes reaction the reaction shown? 
A) enolase 
B) pyruvate dehydrogenase 
C) pyruvate kinase 
D) phosphoglycerate mutase

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction shown is the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate, which is catalyzed by the enzyme pyruvate kinase (PK). Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate, pyruvate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, and phosphoglycerate mutase catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate in the glycolytic pathway.
