Although the presence of phosphorus in phosphoproteins, phospholipids and nucleic acids has long been known, one of the significant advances in biochemistry in the past few decades has been the increasing realization of its central role in the metabolism of living organisms. In particular, it is now recognized that its function in the stepwise degradation reaction through which energy is harnessed and integrated with the synthetic processes, is essential for the maintenance of life.
