It's making ADP into ATP iirc, right?

[-] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

You've got it! It's adding a third phosphate group to adenosine to store energy. Interestingly, it's the same adenosine as the 'A' base in DNA & RNA.

~~You're thinking of adenine when it comes to DNA/RNA~~

[-] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Actually, adenosine is adenine with a ribose attached by a glycosidic bond, which is the D/R in DNA/RNA.
