Where does ATP rank on a scale of phosphate transfer
potential? What is the significance of this location?

Answer Posted / rishu

Glycerol kinase is a large protein comprised of about 500
aa. Xray crystallography of the protein shows us that there
is a deep groove in the protein where glycerol and ATP
attach. Because the enzyme holds the ATP and the gycerol in
place the phosphate can be directly transferred from ATP to
glcerol.
