Abstract
IT has been shown that the transport of phosphorus (P) between creatine and adenylic acid in muscle extract (Lohmann's reaction and its reversal) can be expressed as a chain of equilibria obeying the laws of thermodynamics and controlled by the pH1,2. Parnas and Ostern and their schools3,4, have recently described another case of phosphorus transport in muscle extract in the formation of hexosemonophosphate from inorganic phosphate and glycogen. It appeared of interest to study the kinetics of this reaction.
