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.

Amino acid activation in protein synthesis

In the part where is says "roll over in illustration," what illustration is being referred to? NCBioTeacher (talk) 07:03, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Total Quantity Revision

This article states that the total quantity of ATP in the human body is approximately 0.2 moles, but I can't find that anywhere else. Perhaps we can delete this?

If it's true, I think we need a more precise number. I'm not sure approximations are a good idea here. Eatmorepies (talk) 07:39, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

pKa ambiguity

The sideboard lists the pKa as 6.6 -- That is true for THE FOURTH PKA/DEPROTONATION relative to the structure depicted in the sideboard. Additionally there is a fifth pKa as well on the nucleoside somewhere around 12.5 though obviously that is less important to acknowledge or list. Needless to say a little disambiguation should be added to that listed pKa value as a result, because without adding any specificity of what that pKa is it is easily misinterpreted in all sorts of unfortunate ways. I am having trouble finding precise measures for those first three pKa, but I am seeing them frequently listed as "strong" which probably corresponds to a pKa like <=1.5. For a reference for the first three deprotonation events as "strong" see: McElroy, W.D.; Glass, B. Phosphorus Metabolism, Vol. I, Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1951. Weather or not the first three pKa events should be mentioned at all on the wiki page I leave up to the page maintainer (IMHO that is useful information to have though), but the currently listed pKa on the page should at least somehow note that it is the THE FOURTH deprotonation event relative to the depicted structure to prevent bad misconceptions.162.220.42.222 (talk) 19:27, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
