On binding to myosin subfragment 1 (S1), the gamma-amido derivative of ATP (ATPgammaNH2), an isomer of adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]-triphosphate (AMPPNP), induces a larger increase in the intrinsic (tryptophan) fluorescence than is seen with ATP. A binding constant of 1.7x10(7) M(-1) was measured for ATPgammaNH2, compared to 2.1-2.4x10(7) M(-1) for AMPPNP. ATPgammaNH2 was hydrolyzed only very slowly by S1. ATPgammaNH2 appears to stabilize the 'closed' conformation of S1, and does so without cleavage of the beta-gamma phosphate bond. The dissociation of actin-S1 by ATPgammaNH2 and that of S1.ATPgammaNH2 by actin are both strikingly slow.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D005453	Fluorescence	The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
D006868	Hydrolysis	The process of cleaving a chemical compound by the addition of a molecule of water.
D000205	Actomyosin	A protein complex of actin and MYOSINS occurring in muscle. It is the essential contractile substance of muscle.
D000255	Adenosine Triphosphate	An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.

D000266	Adenylyl Imidodiphosphate	5'-Adenylic acid, monoanhydride with imidodiphosphoric acid. An analog of ATP, in which the oxygen atom bridging the beta to the gamma phosphate is replaced by a nitrogen atom. It is a potent competitive inhibitor of soluble and membrane-bound mitochondrial ATPase and also inhibits ATP-dependent reactions of oxidative phosphorylation.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013696	Temperature	The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms.	Temperatures
D014364	Tryptophan	An essential amino acid that is necessary for normal growth in infants and for NITROGEN balance in adults. It is a precursor of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid). It can be a precursor to NIACIN, albeit inefficiently, in mammals.
