Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Adenosine triphosphate consists of three parts, namely the nucleic base adenine, the sugar ribose and three phosphates. They are covalently linked to each other. The combination of adenine and ribose is summarized in the name and thus results in adenosine. ATP is a universal energy carrier in all living organisms. The body needs it for many biochemical processes, including the transport of substances, the production of molecules, movement processes, muscle contraction, signal transmission and much more. The splitting of the phosphate groups and the subsequent addition of water, also known as hydrolysis, releases biochemical binding energy that can be used by the body. Pharmaceutically, adenosine triphosphate can be used to dilate blood vessels (vasodilation).

Adenosine triphosphate is repeatedly built up and broken down. The breakdown works by splitting off the phosphate groups. ATP (adenosine TRIphosphate) becomes ADP (adenosine DIphosphate) and in a further step AMP (adenosine MONOphosphate). The build-up in turn starts from ADP. Adenosine diphosphate is obtained from very energy-rich molecules as part of glycolysis or the respiratory chain. The daily energy required by the body's cells requires the hydrolysis of 200-300 moles of ATP. To do this, each individual ATP molecule must be built up and broken down again 2000-3000 times a day. In chemistry, mole is a separate unit of measurement. By definition, one mole consists of 6.022 x 10 ²³ particles. You could also call it 602 trillions.

In 1929, the German biochemist Karl Lohmann discovered adenosine triphosphate.
