Adenosine triphosphate was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||

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)
- 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)
- 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)
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)
