(Pyruvate, water dikinase) kinase explained

(Pyruvate, water dikinase) kinase
Ec Number:	2.7.11.33

(Pyruvate, water dikinase) kinase (PSRP, PEPS kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name ADP:(pyruvate, water dikinase) phosphotransferase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ADP + [pyruvate, water dikinase]

\rightleftharpoons AMP + [pyruvate, water dikinase] phosphate

The enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli is bifunctional.
