| Abstract | (31)P NMR spectra of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, suspended in a physiological medium, show well-defined alphaP, betaP, and gammaP resonances of intracellular ATP. A comparison of the separation of 360 +/- 1 Hz between the resonances of alphaP and betaP in intact cells with the corresponding separations of 349 +/- 0.5 and 438 +/- 1 Hz in noncellular MgATP and ATP standards, measured at 10 degrees C and 40.5 MHz NMR frequency, reveals that 88% of the total intracellular ATP (3.3 mM) is complexed to Mg(2+). The corresponding value for intracellular free Mg(2+) is 0.44 mumol/ml out of a total Mg(2+) content of 8.5 mumol/ml cell water. A similar value of free Mg(2+) is obtained from a comparison of the separation of 560 +/- 1 Hz between the betaP and gammaP resonances of intracellular ATP with the corresponding values of 552 +/- 0.5 and 621 +/- 1 Hz in noncellular MgATP and ATP standards. The fraction of total cellular ATP complexed to Mg(2+) decreased to 80% in tumor cells incubated in a medium containing adenosine, glucose, and P(i) without Mg(2+), the corresponding level of intracellular free Mg(2+) being significantly lower (0.24 mM) than that in the unincubated cells. With Mg(2+) present in the incubation medium, MgATP and total Mg(2+) levels increased by approximately 2.5 mM, whereas with no added Mg(2+), the MgATP increased 1.6 mM apparently at the expense of other Mg(2+)-complexed constituents since total Mg(2+) remained essentially unchanged. At the measured levels of free Mg(2+), intracellular ADP will be only 35-50% complexed to Mg(2+). A knowledge of the state of Mg(2+) complexation of ATP and ADP in intact Ehrlich tumor cells allows an accurate estimation of the phosphorylation potential and the extent of deviation of the mass action ratio ([MgATP][AMP](f)/[MgADP][ADP](f)) in cells with high phosphorylation potential from the Mg(2+)-dependent equilibrium value of the adenylate kinase reaction. The significance of the free Mg(2+) value measured by the noninvasive NMR method in relation to the existence of Mg(2+) complexation and compartmentation in tumor cells is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
