Phosphate group: A functional group characterized by a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms (three single bonds and one double bond). One of these oxygen atoms must be bonded to another atom; if not, the structure is a phosphate ion. Generic phosphate group molecular structure.
ATP consists of adenosine â composed of an adenine ring and a ribose sugar â and three phosphate groups (triphosphate). The phosphoryl groups, starting with the group closest to the ribose, are referred to as the alpha (Î±), beta (Î²), and gamma (Î³) phosphates.he primary phosphate group on the ATP molecule that is hydrolyzed when energy is needed to drive anabolic reactions is the Î³-phosphate group. Located the farthest from the ribose sugar, it has a higher energy of hydrolysis than either the Î±- or Î²-phosphate.
