Adenosine phosphate compounds
Adenosine phosphate compounds are vitally important to the cell as:
- energy stores; the energy held within ATP > ADP > AMP
- secondary messengers e.g. cAMP
There is a great deal of interconversion between the different compounds.
ATP can be formed directly by substrate-level coupling, or indirectly via the electron transfer chain and oxidative phosphorylation.
