ATP, or as well named as adenosine triphosphate, is formed subsequent to the binding of one phosphate (or phosphorylation) to one ADP (ot the adenosine diphosphate) molecule. This is a procedure which stores energy in the produced or generated ATP molecule.

When ATP provides energy to cellular metabolism it loses out one of its phosphates as well as ADP re-appears. ADP can as well lose more phosphates and produce or generates AMP (or adenosine monophosphate) or even non-phosphorylated adenosine. Adenosine production or formation from ATP is a solution employed in tissues which require urgent oxygen supply, for instance, in the heart throughout myocardial infarction (or heart attack), because adenosine has a local vasodilator result therefore providing or offering faster vasodilation than other physiological techniques.
