I note that the phosphate is rendered as having two negative charges in the illustration given. This would place it at a high pH, in fact so high that the remaining C-O bond in the C-O-P moiety would be very labile to hydrolysis--too labile for this structure to last for long. I would recommend a rendering in which one of the other oxygens on the phosphate was protonated (i.e. ROP(O)OHO-), instead. Showjumpersam (talk) 12:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
