Abstract

The αβ-methylene analogues of ATP and ADP, [αβCH2]ATP and [αβCH2]ADP, are substrates for creatine kinase. However, the rate of the phosphoryl transfer reaction catalysed is about 10−5-times lower than that with normal ATP. The affinities of the analogues (especially [αβCH2]ADP) for the enzyme are lower than those of the normal substrates. The equilibrium constant at 25°C, measured using 31P NMR, for the reaction Mg[αβCH2]ATP + creatine ⇌ Mg[αβCH2]ADP + phosphocreatine + H+ is 2.2 × 10−12 M compared with a value of 2.5 × 10−10 M for the same reaction with the normal substrates, corresponding to a difference in ΔG0 values of 11.7 kJ · mol−1. It follows that ΔG0 for the hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate group of Mg[αβCH2]ATP is less favourable by 11.7 kJ · mol−1 than that for MgATP.
