*During the reaction, a molecule of ADP binds to the ATP-binding site, while the NMP-binding site binds either ADP or AMP. The ADP molecule is then phosphorylated in the ATP site and AMP is formed in the NMP site. <ref name=Bellinzoni>PMID: 16672241 </ref> | *During the reaction, a molecule of ADP binds to the ATP-binding site, while the NMP-binding site binds either ADP or AMP.
