Abstract
The present invention provides compositions and methods to detect and/or determine the amount and/or presence of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in biological samples. The method comprises converting substantially all AMP in the solution to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using a first enzyme, suitably polyphosphate:AMP phosphotransferase (PAP), that is capable of converting AMP to ADP; converting the ADP in the solution to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using a second enzyme, suitably adenylate kinase (AK), that is capable of converting ADP to ATP; determining the amount of the ATP produced using a bioluminescent reaction utilizing a luciferase enzyme and a substrate for the luciferase enzyme; and using the amount of ATP produced to determine the amount of AMP present in the original solution.
