Identify factors that account for the high phosphoryl‑transfer potential of the nucleoside triphosphates, NTPs.

A) low standard free energy of hydrolysis

B) stabilization by hydration

C) resonance stabilization

D) decrease in entropy

E) increase in entropy

B) stabilization by hydration

C) resonance stabilization

E) increase in entropy

Explanation:

The high phosphoryl potential of ATP results from structural differences that exist between ATP and it's product of hydrolysis. There is higher phosphoryl transfer potential from ATP than glycerol 3-phosphate.

There are some factors associated to the high phosphoryl-transfer potential of ATP which are;

1.)Electrostatic repulsion

2.) Resonance stabilization

3.) Increase in entropy.

4. Stabilization by hydration.

ATP has a phosphoryl-transfer potential which lyes between high phosphoryl-potential compounds that is a derivation of fuel molecules and acceptor molecules that needs the adequate addition of a phosphoryl group for cellular needs.
