Adenylate kinase, commonly known as ADK, is a phosphotransferase enzyme. It has two important roles in ~~the body~~. First, ADK plays an important role in nucleotide metabolism ~~in many organisms~~. It also has a role in cellular energetics and homeostasis by phosphotransfer networks. Adenylate kinase catalyzes the reaction that forms ADP. The reaction is ATP + AMP = 2 ADP. In this catalyzed reaction, ADK molecules bind to AMP molecules and increase its binding affinity for ATP over other phosphate groups. However, adenylate kinase is also found in other molecules such as bacteria and yeast. ADK plays similar roles in bacteria and yeast, in that it involves cellular metabolism and energy. The following images highlight the structure of Adenylate kinase from ''Yersinia pestis''.
