The fact that acid-anhydride bonds are less stable than ester bonds helps explain the fact that the bond between the:Â
Beta- and gamma-phosphoryl groups in atp is a high energy bond, but not the bond between the alpha-phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl of ribose.Â
Phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl at the C-3 position in 3-phosphoglycerate is a high-energy bond.Â
Beta- gamma- phosphoryl groups in ATP is a high-energy bond, but not bond between the alpha and beta-phosphoryl groups.Â
Alpha-phosphorly group (i.e, the one nearest the ribose) and the hydroxyl at the 5’ position in ATP is a high-energy bond.
