What is Adenosine triphosphate?
ATP is an adenosine 5'-phosphate in which the 5'-phosphate is a triphosphate group. It is involved in the transportation of chemical energy during metabolic pathways. It has a role as a cofactor, a micronutrient, a nutraceutical and a fundamental metabolite. It is a purine ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate and an adenosine 5'-phosphate. It is a conjugate acid of an ATP(3-).
