ATP cannot be used in a cell free system because it will be readily
hydrolyzed.
ANP has a S-S bond in the purine ring of the nucleotide to aid in
crystallography.
ATP is twice as large as ANP and will not fit in the ATP synthase active
site.
O
ANP is hydrophobic and ATP is hydrophilic, which makes ANP a better
reactant.
O
ANP is nonhydrolyzable and will trap the enzyme in the desired
conformation.
