I have a few questions about ATP.


what are the systematic names of ATP? are they the IUPAC NAMES?
answer:
5-(6-aminopurin-9-yl)
-3,4-dihydroxy-oxolan-2-yl
methoxy-hydroxy-phosphoryl
oxy-hydroxy-phosphoryl oxyphosphonic acid


where can I find some information about reaction of ATP synthesis in nature? i did a search on google but i couldn't find anything thorough enough. are there any other websites to check out?
