Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy carrier in all living cells and is used to quantify viable or bulk active biomass when measured in water or biofilter media. ATP is used for biomass monitoring due to its availability in the form of rapid, sensitive, and easy to use commerci...
Adenosine (ADO), a purine nucleoside composed of adenine and D-ribose, is a building block of the genetic code and also a core molecule of the mononucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the dinucleotide of adenine (NAD+). Both share structural and functional characteristics as universal ...
The phylogenetically old ciliates, Tetrahymena thermophila and Paramecium tetraurelia, execute significant chemorepellent behaviour of repeated bouts of backward swimming (avoidance reactions) in the presence of sub-micromolar concentrations of ATP or guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP), inducing depolarizing curr...
Adenosine triphosphate(ATP) is not only the energy currency of all cells, but is critical for multiplebiological functionsand pathways, upon which life critically depends. In addition, when released from cells or platelets, as in the setting of inflammation, ATP and derivative nucleotides andnucle...
For example, it functions in reactions of energy transfer as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as well as in signal transduction pathways as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) [13,14]. It also functions as a neuromodulator that is believed to play a role in ...
