Abstract

Cleavage of the terminal phosphoryl group of ATP yields chemical energy. By coupling the chemical energy released in this energetically favorable reaction to energetically unfavorable reactions, such as pumping an ion against its concentration gradient or moving thin filaments during contraction, useful chemical work is performed.
