What is the correct structure of ATP?

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

well, The ATP molecule is composed of three components. At the centre is a sugar molecule, ribose (the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of phosphate groups.

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

These will produce ATP, anything else?
