Pyruvate production. The numbers of pyruvate molecules produced are plotted against initial PEP concentrations after 40 s in the simulation when the enzymes are either associated in hyperstructures or free. A broad range of initial PEP concentrations is shown. Note that pyruvate kinase, a glycolytic enzyme that converts PEP into pyruvate, is absent from our system, and this conversion is only performed by EI.
