ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) belongs to the biomolecule class of nucleic acids. Single molecules of ATP are a nucleotide derivative which is formed from molecules of ribose, three phosphate groups and a molecule of adenine.
The enzyme ATP hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate group.
