Adenosine (ATP)

Construct an adenosine triphosphate nucleotide structure molecular model with authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds from Indigo Instruments

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly referred to as ATP, is an important biological molecule. It is THE energy molecule used by lifeforms from primitive bacteria to advanced eukaryotic plants, animals & fungi. ATP is essential to intracellular energy usage including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation and synthesis of nucleic acids.

Adenosine consists of adenine, a purine nucleobase with joined 5 & 6 membered rings, ribose, a 5 carbon pentose sugar and three phosphate groups. It is also found in DNA, RNA & metabolic intermediates AMP & ADP.
