    The “adenylate control hypotheses” proposed by Atkinson from UCLA (
    1
    ) was further developed into the adenylate energy charge (AEC) concept in the 1960s (
    2
    ,
    3
    ) and thereafter codified (
    4
    ). This concept arose from making an analogy between the adenme nucleotide pool of ATP, ADP, and AMP, and a chemical storage battery or accumulator cell. The common elements include: (1) the total amount of material typically remains constant, and (2) chemical energy can be stored and recovered by alteration of the ratio of the components. The charge of the three-component adenylate system is given by the mole fraction of ATP plus 1/2 of the mole fraction of ADP. It is shown in the following expression:
