Document Summary

So creatine, aside from being a source of atp when atp levels get low also plays to store the energy from atp when atp levels are getting too high, so they keep atp levels in the cell relatively constant. So two roles of phosphagens: they"re basically a store house for energy of atp and also regulate the atp levels from getting too high in the cell. Slide 17 metabolic production of atp anaerobic pathways adenylate kinase: here"s another anaerobic pathway for the generation of atp: it involves two enzymes, it requires this reaction: atp plus amp 2. Amp is just atp with only one phosphate group: adenosine monophosphate. Their structures look the same but just different number of phosphates. We can initially take two adp molecules and we build them together to make one atp molecule and one amp molecule. In the cell, this reaction is at equilibrium so it is able to shift back and forth.
