Adenosine Triphosphate: Chemical Properties, Biosynthesis and Functions in Cells

Adenosine Triphosphate: Chemistry and Cellular Functions

Adenosine Triphosphate: Chemical Properties, Biosynthesis and Functions in Cells, edited by Ebert Kuester and Gisa Traugott, explores the chemical characteristics, production, and biological roles of ATP. As a central energy carrier in living organisms, ATP supports numerous cellular processes, including metabolic reactions, molecular transport, and biochemical signaling. The book focuses on ATP biosynthesis, its chemical properties, and its importance in cellular energy transfer and regulation. It serves as a useful reference for students, researchers, and professionals in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.
