Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is one of the most important nucleotides present in living organisms because it stores and delivers energy from the metabolizing of food. Without ATP, for example, humans would be unable to use their muscles because it...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is often described as the body's "energy currency." Energy-producing metabolic reactions store their energy in the form of ATP, which can then drive energy-requiring syntheses and other reactions anywhere in the cell....

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) was discovered in 1929 by the German chemist Karl Lohmann. Its chemical structure consists of an adenosine nucleotide structure to which three phosphoryl groups are sequentially attached via cleavable bonds. It is the...

Adenosine triphosphate is an organic compound that serves as a source of energy for living organisms, and assists them in carrying out a wide variety of important functions. It is sometimes referred to as the cell's currency of energy exchange. The...

(ATP) Cells work: they engage in mechanical work (such as muscle cell contraction); transport (moving molecules across various kinds of MEMBRANE for example); and they do chemical work, powering chemical reactions that do not happen of their own...

Organic compound, substrate in many enzyme-catalyzed reactions (&see; catalysis) in the cells of animals, plants, and microorganisms. ATP's chemical bonds (&see; bonding) store a large amount of chemical energy. ATP therefore functions as the carrier...

ATP; Adenosine 5′-(tetrahydrogen phosphate); Adenosine 5′-triphosphoric acid Universal in living tissues, existing in a dynamic equilibrium with the diphosphate ADP and the monophosphate AMP. Coenzyme involved in the transfer of phosphate...

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of ATP. A considerable amount of this energy is released when certain bonds are broken and this is the energy which operates all autotrophic and heterotrophic microbial cells, see Autotrophic. see...

A nucleoside triphosphate that upon hydrolysis results in energy availability for processes such as muscle contraction and synthesis of macromolecules, including protein and...

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency" of intracellular energy transfer.[1] In this role, ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy...
