Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+ signals couple cellular ATP production to activity-related energy demand. In order to accurately determine the bioenergetic effect of Ca2+ signals, cellular energy charge, i.e., the compound ratio of the phosphorylated adenine nucleotides AMP, ADP, and ATP, should be estimated. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) allows the rapid separation and quantitation of these molecules. Here we describe a protocol applied in our laboratories to quantify ATP, ADP, and AMP nucleotides in cellular extracts.

Abstract

Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+ signals couple cellular ATP production to activity-related energy demand. In order to accurately determine the bioenergetic effect of Ca2+ signals, cellular energy charge, i.e., the compound ratio of the phosphorylated adenine nucleotides AMP, ADP, and ATP, should be estimated. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) allows the rapid separation and quantitation of these molecules. Here we describe a protocol applied in our laboratories to quantify ATP, ADP, and AMP nucleotides in cellular extracts.
