Little Bellamy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I know it is a type of energy currency in cells, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. Could someone please explain to me exactly what it does? I couldn't find anything in my revision books or on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmydasaint Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wonder if this is what you are getting at: Inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) is a polymer made from as few as 10 to several hundred phosphate molecules linked by phosphoanhydride bonds similar to ATP. Poly P is ubiquitous in all mammalian organisms, where it plays multiple physiological roles. polyphosphates If you are looking for this prokaryote energy source, then there is also a relevant oldie but goldie paper here: Polyphosphate paper If you do not understand parts of it, give a reply and we can help a little more. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
