Question

How is adenosine monophosphate formed?


Open in App
Solution

Adenosine Monophosphate:

  1. A nucleotide composed of adenine, ribose and a phosphate group; an ester of phosphoric acid and the nucleoside adenosine, and with a chemical equation: C10H14N5O7P
  2. Adenosine monophosphate or Adenylic acid are nucleotides which form after the union of nitrogenous base (adenine), phosphate and pentose sugar (ribose). Phosphorylation of nucleosides results in its formation as the phosphate adds up with sugar molecules at their 5 carbon atom. Amino acids have amino groups associated with carbon or a carbon adjacent to carboxylic groups. They are organic acids with carboxylic groups which have amino groups.
  3. AMP doesn't have the high energy phosphoanhydride bond related with ADP and ATP. AMP can be produced from ADP:
  4. 2 ADP → ATP + AMP
    Or on the other hand AMP might be delivered by the hydrolysis of one high energy phosphate bond of ADP:
  5. ADP + H2O → AMP + Pi
    AMP can likewise be shaped by hydrolysis of ATP into AMP and pyrophosphate:
  6. ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi
    At the point when RNA is separated by living systems, nucleoside monophosphates, including adenosine monophosphate, are formed
