In vivo 31P-NMR saturation transfer measurements of the creatine kinase exchange flux in the direction creatine phosphate----ATP were made in the gastrocnemius muscle of rats at rest and during steady-state isometric twitch contraction at frequencies from 0.25 to 2 Hz. There was no correlation between creatine kinase exchange flux and either free [ADP] or oxygen consumption, both of which increase with stimulation frequency. The flux was found to be nearly constant over all conditions at about 16 mM X s-1, 10-times greater than the highest estimated ATP turnover in this study. The kinetic properties of skeletal muscle creatine kinase in vivo are similar to, but not completely predictable from, the equilibrium exchange fluxes measured on the isolated enzyme. These results are not consistent with strong functional coupling between ATP synthesis and mitochondrial creatine kinase.
