ATP-dependent molecular transport, animation. Theoretical model demonstrating the general principles behind ATP-dependent transport in cells. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores energy in its chemical bonds. Many biochemical processes in the body, such as muscle contraction and protein synthesis, use ATP as an energy source. The energy contained in ATP is released by a reaction called hydrolysis. When ATP is hydrolysed, one phosphate molecule is lost, leaving ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). In this animation, the energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP powers the movement of the mechanical arm. | |
