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>. The three-step reversible reaction proceeds via phosphoenzyme and pyrophosphoenzyme intermediates with a histidine residue serving as the phosphocarrier:


#PPDK-His + PEP ⇄ PPDK-His~PO<sub>3</sub> + pyruvate
#PPDK-His + PEP ⇄ PPDK-His~PO<sub>3</sub> + pyruvate
