PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
laboratory technique used to replicate segments of DNA by repeatedly splitting the DNA strands and duplicating them with a DNA polymerase enzyme (Molecular Biology)
Phosphocreatine
Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate or Pcr, is a
phosphorylated creatine molecule that is an important energy store in skeletal
muscle. It is used to
anaerobically generate
ATP from
ADP, forming
creatine for the 2 to 7 seconds following an intense effort. It does that by donating a phosphate group and this reaction is catalyzed by
creatine kinase (presence of creatine kinase in
plasma is indicative of tissue damage and is used in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction). This reaction is reversible and it therefore acts as a spatial and temporal buffer of ATP concentration. In other words, Phosphocreatine is part of a coupled reaction; the energy given off from one reaction is used to regenerate the other compound - be it ATP or PC. Phosphocreatine plays a particularly important role in tissues that have high, fluctuating energy demands such as muscle and brain.
