Question
(cell biology/human physiology)
1) Is it true that AMP and ADP levels are similarlyly indicators of energy status (as shown by ATP concentration)
2) Explain the change of peaks from I to V in the sequence of events from A to D?

Transcribed Image Text:The ATP content of an average muscle fibre at rest is very low. Under short, high energy demand exercise
(e.g. a 100 m sprint), the initially very low ATP levels in the muscle fibres are buffered by phosphocreatine
(PCr, Figure 1).

We can measure levels of phosphocreatine and ATP in a working tissue using 31P NMR spectroscopy,
through the height of the corresponding NMR peak. Figure 2 shows the NMR-spectroscopy results of
muscle intracellular fluid from a subject who had done 2 minutes of vigorous exercise. A: before exercise,
B: first minute of exercise, C: last minute of exercise, D: after exercise; I, II and III are peaks that represent
the three phosphate groups in ATP molecules, IV: PCr, V: Pi, VI: phospho-monoesters.

Immediately when the actin-myosin interaction starts producing ADP, the activity of the enzyme adeny-
late kinase, which catalyses the near-equilibrium reaction 2 ADP + ATP + AMP becomes significant.
Besides the generation of the negligible amount of available ATP, the reaction is essential because both
ADP and AMP can allosterically upregulate glycolytic enzymes - and therefore prepare the muscle for
longer exercise.
