Analysis of compartmentation of ATP in skeletal and cardiac muscle using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance saturation transfer.

ABSTRACT

We have developed a model for the analysis of the forward creatine kinase reaction in muscle as measured by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique of magnetization transfer. The model, accounting for the double-exponential behavior observed in some NMR magnetization transfer data, allows for the existence of two ATP pools, one that is NMR-visible (NMR-VIS) and another that is NMR-invisible (NMR-INVIS). We have applied the model to experimental data for the forward creatine kinase reaction in skeletal and cardiac muscles to study the dependence of the creatine kinase rate constants and fluxes on workload and to account for the differences between heart and skeletal muscle. The results suggest that an NMR-distinct ATP pool exists in both heart and skeletal muscles, and that phosphate exchange with this pool catalyzed by creatine kinase increases with increased workload. The results also agree with previously published estimates of the rates of mitochondrial translocase and net ATP synthesis obtained by traditional biochemical methods.
