Saturation and inversion transfer studies of creatine kinase kinetics in rabbit skeletal muscle in vivo.
The steady-state kinetics of the creatine kinase reaction in rabbit skeletal muscle in vivo was investigated using inversion and saturation magnetization transfer techniques. Both techniques determined the forward rate of this reaction (creatine phosphate ATP) as approximately 0.3 s-1. This corresponds to a flux of 10 mumol creatine phosphate/s/g muscle. The saturation transfer technique underestimated the reverse reaction by approximately 56%. This result is likely due to the participation of ATP in other interactions in skeletal muscle not involving creatine phosphate.
