Almost all cellular processes need ATP to give a reaction its required energy. ATP can transfer energy and phosphorylate (add a phosphate) to other molecules in cellular processes such as DNA ...

Rather than burning all their energy in one large reaction, cells release the energy ... Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells.

the kinase reaction step followed by the detection step with HTRF reagents (Fig. 1). The phosphorylation of the biotin-tagged generic peptide is initiated by the addition of ATP in the presence of ...
