ATP consists of an adenosine base (blue), a ribose sugar (pink) and a phosphate chain. The high-energy phosphate bond in this phosphate chain is the key to ATP's energy storage potential. Cells ...

When the organism is resting and energy is not immediately needed, the reverse reaction takes place and the phosphate group is reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

A diverse array of biophysical and biochemical approaches have lent strong support for the swinging cross-bridge model ... ATP to the rearward head to release it from the actin filament. Single ...

Similarly, in the cell model of the person with mutations ... the building blocks of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, an energy molecule made by the mitochondria that fuels cell metabolism.

This transport mechanism aligns with the "rocker-switch" alternating pathway model ... molecular mechanism of substrate ...
