Magnesium bound to T. brucei pyruvate kinase in the presence of the allosteric activator fructose bisphosphate, but in the absence of the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate, is sequestered in a previously undescribed `priming' position adjacent to the active site. In this way, the enzyme is kept in a conformation with a high affinity for the substrate.
