The reaction, ATP + AMP → 2ADP, is catalyzed by:
A) adenylate phosphorylase.
B) AMP-phosphotransferase.
C) ADP mutase.
D) adenylate kinase.
E) none are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of ATP + AMP → 2ADP is catalyzed by the enzyme adenylate kinase. This enzyme transfers a phosphate group from ATP to AMP to produce two molecules of ADP. Adenylate phosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of adenine nucleotide synthesis from ribose-1-phosphate and adenine. AMP-phosphotransferase is not a real enzyme. ADP mutase catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP in certain tissues.
