The transfer of the phosphoenolpyruvyl group occurs via an addition elimination reaction. The nucleophilic hydroxyl group of S3P attacks PEP's partially positive C-2. This attack results in the release of inorganic phosphate as a leaving group. | The transfer of the phosphoenolpyruvyl group occurs via an addition elimination reaction.
