ATP hydrolysis

Tags
Description
The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P i is exergonic. As shown in this figure, ATP has a net charge of ?4, while ADP and P i are shown with net charges of ?2 each. When these compounds are shown in chemical reactions with other molecules, the net charges will also be shown. Otherwise, these compounds will simply be designated ATP, ADP, and P i. Note also that at neutral pH, ADP2? will dissociate to ADP3? and H+.
