Calcium-ion catalysed nonenzymatic ATP synthesis from ADP and carbamylphosphate.
Incubation of aqueous Ca2+, carbamylphosphate and ADP results in ATP formation with yields up to 20%. The dependence of the yield on the reaction parameters suggests that this transphosphorylation reaction proceeds heterogeneously on the surface of the calcium-carbamylphosphate precipitate.
