Which of the following enzyme catalyses the formation of AMP from two molecules of ADP?

A
Adenylate kinase
B
Adenylyl cyclase
C
Adenosine kinase
D
Adenosine deaminase
High-Yield Explanation
When ATP level is reduced, AMP is formed by Adenylate kinase reaction. 2 ADP - ATP + AMP This is why AMP is an allosteric activator of glycolysis. Adenylate kinase or myokinase is a phosphotransferase. It catalyses the interconversion of adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, and AMP). It plays an impoant role in cellular energy homeostasis.
