Abstract
The regulation of the 100-fold dynamic range of mitochondrial ATP synthesis flux in skeletal muscle was investigated. Hypotheses of key control mechanisms were included in a biophysical model of oxidative phosphorylation and tested against metabolite dynamics recorded by 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (P-31 MRS). Simulations of the initial model featuring only ADP and Pi feedback control of flux failed in reproducing the experimentally sampled relation between myoplasmic free energy of ATP hydrolysis (Delta G(p) = Delta Gp o'+RT In ([ADP][Pi]/[ATP]) and the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis at low fluxes (
