adenosine triphosphate

Examples of adenosine triphosphate in the following topics:

• ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate

  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency for cellular processes.
  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is comprised of the molecule adenosine bound to three phosphate groups .
  • Adenosine is a nucleoside consisting of the nitrogenous base adenine and the five-carbon sugar ribose.
  • The bond between the beta and gamma phosphate is considered "high-energy" because when the bond breaks, the products [adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and one inorganic phosphate group (Pi)] have a lower free energy than the reactants (ATP and a water molecule).
  • It has an adenosine backbone with three phosphate groups attached.

• F10 ATP Synthase

  • ATP synthase is an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate.
  • ATP synthase is an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
  • It is formed from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), and needs energy.

• Mitochondria

  • Mitochondria are organelles that are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule.
  • Mitochondria are often called the "powerhouses" or "energy factories" of a cell because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule.

• ATP in Metabolism

  • Living cells accomplish this by using the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) .
  • The core of ATP is a molecule of adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is composed of an adenine molecule bonded to a ribose molecule and to a single phosphate group.
  • The addition of a second phosphate group to this core molecule results in the formation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP); the addition of a third phosphate group forms adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
  • ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups that can be removed by hydrolysis to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) or AMP (adenosine monophosphate).The negative charges on the phosphate group naturally repel each other, requiring energy to bond them together and releasing energy when these bonds are broken.

• Covalent Bonds and Other Bonds and Interactions

  • Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the most-commonly used cofactor in all of biology.
  • Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP, is the most commonly used cofactor in nature.

• The Entner–Doudoroff Pathway

  • The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

• Rigor Mortis

  • After death, cellular respiration in organisms ceases to occur, depleting the corpse of oxygen used in the making of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

• Shared Features of Archaea and Eukaryotes

  • The energy released generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through chemiosmosis, in the same basic process that happens in the mitochondrion of eukaryotic cells.

• Acetyl CoA and the Citric Acid Cycle

  • In addition, one complete turn of the cycle converts three equivalents of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into three equivalents of reduced NAD+ (NADH), one equivalent of ubiquinone (Q) into one equivalent of reduced ubiquinone (QH2), and one equivalent each of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) into one equivalent of guanosine triphosphate (GTP).
  • The NADH and QH2 that is generated by the citric acid cycle is used by the oxidative phosphorylation pathway to generate energy-rich adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

• Prokaryotic Transcription and Translation Are Coupled

  • Most transcripts originate using adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and, to a lesser extent, guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) (purine nucleoside triphosphates) at the +1 site.
  • Uridine-5'-triphosphate (UTP) and cytidine-5'-triphosphate (CTP) (pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates) are disfavoured at the initiation site.
