Adenosine triphosphate structural formula

Therapeutic Function Coenzyme, Vasodilator Chemical Name Adenosine 5 -(tetrahydrogen triphosphate) Common Name ATP Triphosadenine Structural Formula ... 

Structural formula of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at pH 7.0, The three phosphate groups are identified by Greek letters a, fi, and y. The y- and S-phosphate groups are linked through phosphoanhydride bonds and their hydrolysis yields a large negative AG°, whereas the cr-phosphate linked by a phosphate ester bond has a much lower negative AG°. ... 

Nucleoside monophosphates can be further phosphorylated to form nucleoside diphosphates and nucleoside triphosphates. Shovm in Figure 20.4 is a structural formula for adenosine 5 -triphosphate (ATP). 

Following is a structural formula of adenosine triphosphate (Section 20.1), a compound involved in the storage and transfer of phosphate groups ... 

Figure 5.4 Structural formulae of thiamin phosphate esters. At present, five natural thiamin phosphate derivatives have been described thiamin monophosphate (ThMP) thiamin diphopshate (ThDP) thiamin triphosphate (ThTP) adenosine thiamin diphosphate (AThDP) and adenosine thiamin triphosphate (AThTP). Catalytic intermediates, such as for instance a-hydroxyethyl thiamine diphosphate formed by the action of yeast pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1), are not considered here.

Some more active phosphates in any living organism are ATP (adenosine triphosphate), RNA (ribose nucleic acid), and DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). Where orthophosphate in DNA and RNA can be considered functionally structural, as a sugar bridge in DNA and RNA, such is not the case for the tripolyphosphate moiety in adenosine triphosphate. To demonstrate adequately the activity of adenosine triphosphate it is necessary to consider the structural formula of this molecule (Figure 2.1).
