ATPases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of
adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free
phosphate
ion. This dephosphorylation reaction releases energy, which the enzyme
(in
most cases) harnesses to drive other chemical reactions that would
not
otherwise occur. This process is widely used in all known forms of
life
