Short for adenosine monophosphate. An organic compound that is composed of adenosine and one phosphate group. It is one of the nucleotides present in DNA and RNA, and is also the fundamental component of ATP and ADP. During certain cellular metabolic processes, AMP forms from ADP when the latter loses a phosphate group, and AMP forms ADP by acquiring a phosphate group. Chemical formula: C10H14N5O7P.

Thank you, Amarpaul Sir..
agree Charles Davis : Caution: adenosine monophosphate is AMP, which is completely different. The ammonium salt of AMPS is ammonium-2-(acrylamido)-2-methylpropane sulfonate, used as antimicrobial agent, viscosifier in oil recovery and surfactant in toner.
