High-Yield Explanation
Magnesium is the activator of many enzymes requiring ATP. The enzymes requiring magnesium are alkaline phosphates, hexokinase, fructokinase, phosphofructokinase, phosphopyruvic and acetyl trans phosphorylases. It is also required for the activation of adenyl cyclase systems and for the activity of cyclic AMP dependent kinases like those involved in phosphorylation of nucleotides and glycogen metabolism.
