As it turns out, the reactive portion of ATP is remarkably similar to the inorganic compound polyphosphate. By allowing ATP-generating reactions to use polyphosphate instead of ATP—by modifying ...

ATP is a compound that works to release energy in a cell and is essential to all cell processes. "A multidrug-resistant cell requires a tremendous amount of energy to run the pump and extrude things ...

How do cells meet our bodies’ ever changing energy needs? In most animal cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound with high potential energy, works as the main carrier of chemical energy.

It’s then converted into a compound called phosphocreatine, which is stored in your muscles, explains Amanda Holtzer, RD.
