SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionPhosphoenolpyruvic acid, also known as PEP or 2-phosphonooxyprop-2-enoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphate esters. These are organic compounds containing phosphoric acid ester functional group, with the general structure R1P(=O)(R2)OR3. R1,R2 = O,N, or halogen atom; R3 = organyl group. Phosphoenolpyruvic acid is an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). Phosphoenolpyruvic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
