Deoxyadenosine triphosphate

2'- deoxyadenosine -5'-triphosphate

Template: Infobox chemical / molecular formula search available

Deoxyadenosine triphosphate ( dATP ) is one of four building blocks of the nucleic acid is DNA. It consists of deoxyribose, the base adenine and a triphosphate group.

Biosynthesis

The deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are synthesized in the cell as an energy- rich compounds in two successive phosphorylation with ATP as the phosphate group donor in the 2'- deoxyribonucleotide - 5'-monophosphate.

Function

DATP is an energy-rich precursor deoxyadenosine monophosphate, one of four blocks of the DNA is a sequence of nucleoside monophosphates. The genetic code of the DNA derived from the sequence of the bases of these devices. Since the base of dATP is the adenine, coded this module, the A of this Code.
