Study of phosphagens in two trematodes.
Extracts from the adults of two trematodes Fasciola gigantica and Paramphistomum explanatum have been shown to contain three phosphagens, phosphoarginine, phosphocreatine, and phosphoglycocyamine. The three phosphokinases involved in the transphosphorylation of these phosphagens in both worms were inhibited by EDTA and mercuric ions while iodoacetate had no effect.
