Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) catalyzes the inter-conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphate (P<sub>i</sub>), and pyruvate with adenine monophosphate (AMP), pyrophosphate (PP<sub>i</sub>), and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the presence of Mg<sup>2+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup>. The three-step reversible reaction proceeds via phosphoenzyme and pyrophosphoenzyme intermediates with a histidine residue serving as the phosphocarrier: | Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) catalyzes the inter-conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphate (P<sub>i</sub>), and pyruvate with adenine monophosphate (AMP), pyrophosphate (PP<sub>i</sub>), and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the presence of Mg<sup>2+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup>.
