Figure 1. ATP and GTP hydrolysis release the same quantity of energy.

Figure 1.

ATPases and GTPases hydrolyse their NTP substrates to NDP and inorganic phosphate; both hydrolysis reactions liberate 53 kJ/mol Gibbs free energy. ATP, adenosine 5’-triphosphate; GTP, guanosine 5’-triphosphate; NTP, nucleoside triphosphate; NDP, nucleoside diphosphate; P i, inorganic phosphate.
