Acetyl phosphate and 1,3-diphosphoglycerate react with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to form relatively stable enzyme substrate compounds. These compounds appear to be thiol esters, and their properties indicate that they are intermediates in the catalytic activity of the enzyme: they undergo hydrolysis and arsenolysis in the presence of DPN and are reduced by DPNH to form aldehydes. These results are in agreement with the mechanism previously proposed for the oxidation of aldehydes in which a thiol ester formed on the enzyme, with concomitant reduction of DPN, is split in the presence of phosphate to acyl phosphate and regenerated enzyme.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
