Enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase acts on 1,3bisphosphoglycerate resulting in the formation of 3phosphoglycerate + syn of ATP (substrate level
phosphorylation)
1 NADH = 3 ATP
By oxidative decarboxylation
an irreversible reaction, catalysed by a multienzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) found only in the
mitochondria
