ATP hydrolysis

ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy.

See Myosin ATPase and ATP hydrolysis

ATPase

ATPases (Adenosine 5'-TriPhosphatase, adenylpyrophosphatase, ATP monophosphatase, triphosphatase, SV40 T-antigen, ATP hydrolase, complex V (mitochondrial electron transport), (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, HCO3−-ATPase, adenosine triphosphatase) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of ATP into ADP and a free phosphate ion or the inverse reaction.

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.

See Myosin ATPase and Catalysis

Chemical reaction

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

See Myosin ATPase and Chemical reaction

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

Myofilament

Myofilaments are the three protein filaments of myofibrils in muscle cells.

Myosin

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

Phosphate

In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid.
