Summary
A glucosylcarbonium ion is the central intermediate on the reaction pathway of the reversible phosphorylase catalyzed reaction. The contribution of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate to improve on the enzyme complementarity to the transition state by a tightly coordinated phosphate anion and two essential basic amino acid residues might be essential for the transition state complex.
