title: A molecular orbital study on adenosine phosphates.
abstract: AMP, ADP and ATP are calculated using the CNDO method, and ATP is studied by an ab initio calculation. The essential features of the electronic structure of these molecules are described in detail. Their ionization potentials, dipole moments and bond orders are given. The interaction between ATP with metal ions and enzyme molecules is discussed.
