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.

The reaction product is adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and the phosphate group ... reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight. Thus the ATP molecule acts as a chemical ...

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

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 ...

Adenosine is a short-acting endogenous molecule that is a purine nucleoside ... role in energy transfer (adenosine triphosphate or ATP) and in cellular signaling (cyclic AMP).

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running. Intracellular ATP levels are thought to remain constant, given its ...

We have been exploring the potential of the neuromodulator, adenosine, to reduce excessive dopamine signaling that contributes to the development and persistence of psychostimulant abuse. Dopamine’s ...

The reaction product is adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and the phosphate group ... reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight. Thus the ATP molecule acts as a chemical ...
