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 ...

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 ...
