Adenosine Triphosphate
Adenosine Triphosphate Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.
Adenosine triphosphate (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the nucleotide known in biochemistry as the "molecular currency" of intracellular energy transfer; that is, Adenosine Triphosphate is able to store and transport chemical energy within cells. Adenosine Triphosphate also plays an important role in the synthesis of nucleic acids. The total quantity of Adenosine Triphosphate in the human body is about 0.1 mole. The energy used by human cells requires the hydrolysis of 200 to 300 moles of Adenosine Triphosphate daily. This means that each Adenosine Triphosphate molecule is recycled 2000 to 3000 times during a single day. Adenosine Triphosphate cannot be stored, hence its consumption must closely follow its synthesis.

How Adenosine Triphosphate works
Adenosine Triphosphate is able to store and transport chemical energy within cells. Adenosine Triphosphate also plays an important role in the synthesis of nucleic acids. Adenosine Triphosphate can be produced by various cellular processes, most typically in mitochondria by oxidative phosphorylation under the catalytic influence of Adenosine Triphosphate synthase. The total quantity of Adenosine Triphosphate in the human body is about 0.1 mole. The energy used by human cells requires the hydrolysis of 200 to 300 moles of Adenosine Triphosphate daily. This means that each Adenosine Triphosphate molecule is recycled 2000 to 3000 times during a single day. Adenosine Triphosphate cannot be stored, hence its consumption must closely follow its synthesis.
