Front How does phosphocreatine work?
Back
- short term energy supply

at rest
- Pi produced from hydrolysis of ATP is used
- to phosphorylate creatine to phosphocreatine

during exercise
- creatine kinase hydrolyses phosphocreatine to creatine and Pi
- to phosphorylate ADP to ATP

ATP used in muscle contraction
