An index of the phospho anhydride (i.e.,P—O—P) bond content of the adenine nucleotides of a cell, based on a hypothetical modeP that attempts to explain the metabolic basis for control of ATP utilization and regeneration. Later studies demonstrated that the energy charge model is overly simplistic and that its principles are unlikely to constitute a useful model for the control of energy metabolism within biological systems.
