Activator Specificity of Pyruvate Kinase from Lactic Streptococci

Terence D Thomas 1
PMCID: PMC236212  PMID: 815244

Abstract

The pyruvate kinase from lactic streptococci was activated by 20 structurally dissimilar sugar phosphates and glycolytic intermediates. Nine compounds were more effective activators than fructose-1,6-diphosphate.
