Wrong chemical structure[edit]

Phosphate is phosphorus(V). The neutral oxygen on each phosphorus that has no other bonds needs to have a double bond to phosphorus. Oxygen always completes it's octet. With only one single bond, those oxygens do not have a full octet. Science Is My Life (talk) 10:38, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and reverted the image. This issue was introduced here with a message indicating the editor wished to show "more realistic relative bond lengths and angles." But this style of schematic representation isn't suitable for that purpose. Eden hochbaum (talk) 22:28, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the same editor made a similar edit to GTP's page (and presumably to other of the nucleotides' pages) - I haven't reverted any of these, but someone may wish to review.

Separately, I assume ATP is in an anion form at physiological pH? Perhaps the top image should reflect that as well. Eden hochbaum (talk) 22:35, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ATP in muscle tissue[edit]

It seems odd that whilst mentioned in the introduction, the function of ATP in muscle contraction isn't mentioned in any depth Henry5040 (talk) 16:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
