Substrate level phosphorylation is catalysed by which enzyme?
High-Yield Explanation
In TCA Cycle, Fifth step: Generation of succinate. The reaction involves a substrate level phosphorylation whereby a high energy phosphate is generated from the energy trapped in the thioester bond of succinyl CoA. The enzyme is succinate thiokinase. The molecule of GDP is phosphorylated to GTP and succinate is formed.Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition, page no: 248
