ATP- Structure
ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate containing adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.

Phosphate residues in ATP Structure
• In ATP, a chain of three phosphate residues are linked to the 5'-OH group of the nucleoside adenosine .
• These phosphate residues are termed α, β, and γ. • The α phosphate is bound to ribose by a
phosphoric acid ester bond. • The linkages between the three phosphate
residues, on the other hand, involve much more unstable phosphoric acid anhydride bonds.

Role of Mg++
• The active coenzyme is a complex of ATP with an Mg2+ ion, which is co-ordinatively bound to the β and γ phosphates (Mg2+ ATP4–).

Mechanisms of ATP formation
There are two basic mechanism involved for ATP formation-
Substrate level phosphorylation andOxidative phosphorylation

![Page 8: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1) Substrate level phosphorylation
• involves phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP at the expense of the energy of the parent substrate molecule without involving the electron transport chain.
• Substrate is a high energy compound as compared to the product, the surplus energy is used for ATP formation.

Substrate level phosphorylation in skeletal muscle
Creatine phosphate, “energy-rich” phosphate compound is formed from ATP in muscle It can regenerate ATP as needed.

2) ATP by Oxidative phosphorylation
• This process takes place in mitochondria and is energetically coupled to a proton gradient over a membrane.
• The H+ gradients established by electron transport chain are used by the enzyme ATP synthase as a source of energy for direct linking of an inorganic phosphate to ADP05/03/23 13Professor (Dr.) Namrata Chhabra, M.D.,

Overview of ATP synthesis
05/03/23 14Professor (Dr.) Namrata Chhabra, M.D., Biochemistry
![Page 15: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Energy of hydrolysis
• Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
• When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent.
• Then the ADP is usually immediately recycled in the mitochondria where it is recharged and comes out again as ATP.

![Page 16: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ATP HydrolysisAdenosine attached to two or one phosphate residues is called Adenosine di and mono phosphate respectively. The symbol ~ indicates that the group attached to the bond, on transfer to an appropriate acceptor, results in transfer of the larger quantity of free energy. For this reason, the term group transfer potential rather than "high-energy bond" is preferred .

![Page 17: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Status of AMP
• The phosphate in AMP (adenosine mono phosphate) is of the low-energy type, since it is a normal ester linkage.
• High AMP level depicts a low energy state of a cell.

Functions of ATP
05/03/23 18Professor (Dr.) Namrata Chhabra, M.D., Biochemistry
![Page 19: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Examples of coupling reactions
ATP can donate single phosphate, two phosphates or even Adenosine moiety to suitable acceptors
for the formation of important biological compounds.
05/03/23 19Professor (Dr.) Namrata Chhabra, M.D., Biochemistry
![Page 20: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A) Single phosphate transfer
The phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, the first reaction of Glycolysis, is highly endergonic and cannot proceed under physiologic conditions.When (1) and (2) are coupled in a reaction catalyzed by hexokinase, phosphorylation of glucose readily proceeds in a highly exergonic reaction that under physiologic conditions is irreversible.

B) Transfer of two phosphate groups
During the process of activation of fatty acid before oxidation, ATP is converted to AMP with the release of pyrophosphate, which can subsequently be hydrolyzed to inorganic phosphates.
i) Activation of fatty acids

B) Transfer of two phosphate groups (contd.)
ii) Activation of amino acids-Amino acids are activated before incorporation into the growing peptide chain .

C) Transfer of adenosine moiety• This takes place during activation of Methionine to S-
Adenosyl Methionine (Active Methionine), which is a methyl group donor in the body.

Fate of AMP
• AMP, formed as a consequence of several activating reactions involving ATP, is recovered by rephosphorylation to ADP.
• Adenylyl Kinase (Myokinase) interconverts Adenine Nucleotides
• This enzyme is present in most cells. It catalyzes the following reaction:

Reaction catalyzed by Adenylyl kinase

Why is ATP considered the universal energy currency of cells why not other nucleotides like CTP, UTP etc ?
05/03/23 26Professor (Dr.) Namrata Chhabra, M.D., Biochemistry
![Page 27: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• The other nucleotides -GTP, CTP and UTP , do participate in metabolic reactions but the ease with which ATP can donate single phosphate, two phosphates, or even Adenosine moiety is considered a better nucleotide in energy transfer reactions .

![Page 28: ATP- The universal energy currency of cell](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061322/586f91931a28ab54768b7d31/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Significance of other nucleotides
• GTP has a role in gluconeogenesis and in the process of translation ; CTP is required for phospholipid and triacylglycerol synthesis , while UTP is required for glycogen synthesis and also in Uronic pathway for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and for detoxification reactions.
