Fig 5. ATP, AMP and Ado concentrations at midpoint between enzymes.
CD39 and CD73 are separated by a distance of 10.0 nm. In the uncharged cases, all surfaces are electrically neutral. In the charged cases, surface potentials are applied as described in Effects of surface charge on reaction rate coefficient. Bulk conditions (black and gray) are as described in Effects of molecular junction confinement on enzymatic activity. In non-reactive cases (blue) the junction surface reflects nucleotides, while in the reactive cases (red) the junction surface absorbs AMP. Cases are also shown (green) where the CD39 enzyme is inactive, resulting in no production of AMP or Ado.
