Nucleotides (abbreviation) | Nucleotides | function |
AMP | Adenosine monophosphate | It forms basic unit of RNA |
ADP | Adenosine diphosphate | It stores energy in the phosphate molecule. Dissociation of one phosphate molecule releases 8Kcal of energy. |
ATP | Adenosine triphosphate | It is a high-energy molecule.Dissociation of each phosphate molecule releases 8k cal. Of energy. |
FAD | Flavin adenine dinucleotide | It is also high energy molecule.on breakdown it gives rise to two ATP molecules. |
NAD | Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide | Act as a Co-enzyme of an oxidizing enzyme. |
NADP | Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | It is also a high energy molecule .On dissociation it gives rise of three ATP molecules. |
