High-energy phosphate
High-energy phosphate can mean one of two things:
  • The phosphate-phosphate bonds formed when compounds such as adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate are created.
  • The compounds that contain these bonds, which include the nucleoside diphosphates and nucleoside triphosphates, and the high-energy storage compounds of the muscle, the phosphagens. When people speak of a high-energy phosphate pool, they speak of the total concentration of these compounds with these high-energy bonds.
