Comments Table gives gibbs free energies for hydrolysis of Energy-rich compounds involved in Substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP). SLP is a type of chemical reaction that results in the formation and creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from a reactive intermediate. In cells, it occurs primarily and firstly in the cytoplasm (in glycolysis) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle and after 5 intermediates is converted into Succynil CoA which undergoes SLP
