A ribonucleoside 5 ‘-diphosphate serving as phosphate-group acceptor in the cell energy cycle.
A compound (ester) composed of one molecule each of adenine and D-ribose and two molecules of phosphoric acid is formed as a result of the breakdown of adenosine triphosphate and is used in the resynthesis of adenine triphosphate, adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase).
A chemical compound which provides energy for processes to’ take place within living cells, formed when adenosine triphosphate reacts with water.
Compound consisting of adenosine, ribose, and two phosphate (phosphorous-containing) groups and involved in the storage and transfer of energy in cells, in muscle.
A compound of adenosine containing two phosphoric acid groups. ADP is used to synthesize ATP with the energy released in cell respiration. When ATP is used for cellular functions such as protein synthesis, ADP is reformed.
