| Abstract: | Data on the reactions of phosphates with a macroergic bond (adenosine di- and triphosphate, pyrophosphate, enolophosphates, acyl phosphates, and amidophosphates), which are regarded as models of the respective biochemical processes, are reviewed. The mechanisms of the biomimetic reactions of this type of compound are discussed.Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev.
