Abstract
It was established that phosphoenolpyruvic acid, photoexcited by UV light at 20°C, loses its phosphoryl group under the action of acids and bases. Raising the temperature to 50°C induces dissociation of the photoexcited molecule into enolpyruvate and metaphosphate, which in turn phosphorylates HPO4 2− and H2P2O7 2− ions and AMP.
