| phosphoroclastic cleavage | <biochemistry> This reaction is an analogue to hydrolysis, except here a molecule is cleaved with phosphate as the attacking group. (09 Oct 1997) |
| phosphoroclastic reaction | Cleavage of C-C bonds that involves phosphate transfer but not, as in phosphorolysis, directly to one of the products; e.g., the decomposition of pyruvate to acetate + CO2, in which Pi is added to ADP to form ATP. (05 Mar 2000) |
