Phosphorus has more known functions in the animal body than any other mineral element. Together with calcium, phosphorus plays a major role in the formation of bones and teeth, as well as eggshells. It is a component of nucleic acids, which control cell multiplication, growth and differentiation. In combination with other elements, phosphorus has a role in the maintenance of cellular osmotic pressure and the acid-base balance. Energy transfer processes in all living cells involve interconversion of the phosphate-containing nucleotides, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and ATP, and thus phosphorus participates in all biological events. Other roles include its presence in phospholipids, where it functions in cell-wall structure, fatty acid transport and protein as well as amino acid formation. [Pg.1292]

They hydrolyze the nucleoside triphosphate (NTP), which is commonly referred to as metabolic energy currency, to obtain the chemical energy required to regulate and control vital cellular processes [33, 34]. Given that a wide range of catalytic efficiencies of hydrolysis are displayed by NTPases, it is likely that the catalytic efficiency of hydrolysis of each NTPase is specifically evolved according to the requirement of the particular biological process with which they are associated. [Pg.363]
