1VPE - PubMed Abstract: 
Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is essential in most living cells both for ATP generation in the glycolytic pathway of aerobes and for fermentation in anaerobes. In addition, in many plants the enzyme is involved in carbon fixation. Like other kinases, PGK folds into two distinct domains, which undergo a large hinge-bending motion upon catalysis ...
