ATP hydrolysis is the process of adding water (H20) to split a molecule of ATP (Adenose triphosphate) to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate)[1] and an inorganic phopshate group[2].
The breaking of the phosphate bond releases energy, which can be used to drive cellular reactions.
This is a reversible reaction. ATP can be both formed and hydrolysed by the cellular enzyme ATPase[3].
