Of all the high-energy phosphate carriers we've studied in class, PEP has the greatest free energy change associated with the hydrolysis of its phosphate group. Examine the structures of PEP before and after the phosphate is removed, and give a structural explanation for why the free energy change for phosphate removal is so large.
