It is an ester of phosphoric acid with the nucleoside adenosine. AMP consists of the phosphate Functional group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine. ==Production and degradation== AMP can be produced during Adenosine triphosphate synthesis by the enzyme adenylate kinase by combining two ADP molecules: : 2 ADP → ATP + AMP Or AMP may be produced by the hydrolysis of one high energy phosphate bond of ADP: : ADP → AMP + phosphate AMP can also be formed by hydrolysis of Adenosine triphosphate into AMP and pyrophosphate: : ATP → AMP + pyrophosphate When RNA is broken down by living systems, nucleoside monophosphates, including adenosine monophosphate, are formed. AMP can be regenerated to ATP as follows: : AMP + ATP → 2 ADP (adenylate kinase in the opposite direction) : 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 ATP (this step is most often performed in aerobes by the ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation) AMP can be converted into inosine monophosphate by the enzyme myoadenylate deaminase, freeing an ammonia group. In a catabolic pathway, adenosine monophosphate can be converted to uric acid, which is excreted from the body. == cAMP == AMP can also exist as a cyclic structure known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (or cAMP). Within certain cells the enzyme adenylate cyclase makes cAMP from ATP, and typically this reaction is regulated by hormones such as adrenaline or glucagon. cAMP plays an important role in intracellular signalling. == Commercial applications == Linguagen Corp obtained FDA approval in September 2004 to employ AMP as a patented 'Bitter Blocker' additive to foodstuffs. To human tastes, the bitterness suppressing quality of AMP interprets as food seeming 'sweeter'. This makes lower calorie food products more palatable, making AMP potentially a lucrative solution for food manufacturers as they respond to pressure from consumers and regulators concerned about social trends towards obesity. == See also == * Nucleoside * Nucleotide * DNA * RNA * Oligonucleotide Nucleotides
Opps. Make that "removing self links and bypassing disambiguation at ATP via adenosine triphosphate." Its getting late. --User:Maveric149
