Properties of adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine (a nucleoside) consists of the base adenine linked by an N-glycosidic bond to the sugar ribose. [Pg.102]

AMP (adenosine monophosphate) is a nucleotide that contains the nucleoside adenosine in which the 5 -hydroxyl of the sugar is esterified to an acidic group of inorganic phosphate. [Pg.102]

ADP (adenosine diphosphate) contains a second phosphate group attached to the phosphate of AMP by an anhydride bond. [Pg.102]

ATP contains a third phosphate group linked to ADP by another anhydride bond. [Pg.102]

The free energy that is released when ATP is hydrolyzed is used to drive reactions that require energy. [Pg.103]
