ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is formed when a phosphate is added to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).

For ATP, "triphosphate" means it has three phosphates.

For ADP, "diphosphate" means it has two phosphates.

Does atp bind to enzymes?

Yes, ATP can bind to enzymes as a substrate or a cofactor to facilitate enzymatic reactions. The binding of ATP provides energy for the reaction to occur by transferring a phosphate group to the substrate molecule.

How many oxygen molecules bind to myoglobin?

1 Each myoglobin molecule has one heme group and can bind one oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin on the other hand can bind up to 4 molecules of oxygen.


What is an example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracelluar receptor and therby cause a gene to be turned on or off?

An example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracellular receptor and regulate gene expression is cortisol. Cortisol binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, forming a complex that can then bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate the transcription of target genes, leading to a variety of cellular responses.


What Is the reaction required to bind two molecules of glycine together and release a molecule of water?

The reaction to bind two molecules of glycine together and release a molecule of water is a condensation reaction. In this reaction, the carboxyl group of one glycine molecule reacts with the amino group of another glycine molecule, forming a peptide bond between them. Water is eliminated during this process.


What is ATP and why is it important to cells?

How many haem molecules are attached to a polypeptide chain?

Typically, a single polypeptide chain in a hemoglobin molecule can bind to 4 heme molecules. Each heme molecule contains an iron atom that can bind to an oxygen molecule for transport in the bloodstream.


Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?

No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
