ATP works by losing the endmost phosphate group when instructed to do so by an enzyme. This reaction releases a lot of energy, which the organism can then use to build proteins, contact muscles, etc.

In glycolysis, phosphate groups are transferred directly from sugar molecules onto ADP to form ATP. The whole pathway is pure chemistry, involving the reaction of one molecule with another ...

Kinases are specialized enzymes that transfer phosphate groups from ATP to a substrate. The most often studied kinases are protein kinases, which are generally subdivided into tyrosine, and ...

Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has released energy, it becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a low energy molecule. ADP can be recharged back into ...

Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the addition of a phosphate group (PO43−) to substrates, usually proteins. The phosphate generally comes from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Kinases and ...
