The complete oxidation of pyrnvate by mitochondria isolated from blowfly flight muscle is markedly more rapid in the presence of high intra-mitochondrial concentrations of ADP and phosphate [l] . During a study of tricarboxylate cycle enzymes which might be responsible for this effect, it has emerged that succinic thiokinase activity from fly flight muscle differs from that described from any other animal source in reacting with adenine, and not guanine, nucleotides.
