Uses
Myokinase has been used in a study to assess its reaction with the mercurials p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and p-mercuribenzenesulfonate. It has also been used in a study to investigate the ligand-binding properties of its peptide fragments.
Definition
An enzyme found in muscle andother tissues that catalyzes the reaction 2ADP ?ATP + AMP.
General Description
Myokinase is an enzyme that can be found in skeletal muscle and acts as a phosphotransferase agitator.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Rabbit muscle myokinase can be inactivated by treatment with dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic) acid which alters methionine residues critical to myokinase activity.
