Abstract

Adenosine kinase was partially purified form beef liver and used to catalyze the conversion of (γR)ATPγS,γ18O and adenosine to ADP and AMPαS,α18O. The configuration at phosphorus in AMPαS,α18O was established by subjecting it to stereospecific phosphorylation to (αS)ATPαS,α18O and showing that only the nonbridging oxygen bonded to the α-P was enriched with 18O. The configuration at α-P in AMPαS,α18O was therefore S, and the transfer of the [18O]thiophosphoryl group occurred with inversion of configuration.
