What are the rate-limiting enzymes for ATP-PC system?

The rate-limiting enzyme for the ATP-PC system is creatine kinase, which catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphocreatine to ADP to form ATP. This enzyme plays a crucial role in regulating the rate of ATP production during short bursts of high-intensity exercise.


What type of chemical reaction is ATP H2O - ADP Pi energy?
