1) the correct name of ATP in portuguese is "5'-trifosfato de adenosina"
and not "adenosina 5'-trifostato" as in that translation. The current
synonyms should be kept as they are with the addition of "trifosfato de
adenosina", which is a possible designation as well.
2) the word "indece" (índece) should be "indice" (índice)
I am a Portuguese biochemist, with my first degree taken in Portugal. I
felt particularly touched by the definition of ATP as in my first degree
this was discussed to great length (that it should be "5'-trifosfato de
adenosina" and not "adenosina 5'-trifostato"). The second error is just a
typo.
Please don't take this as a flame (which it is not). Apart from this the
translation is quite correct (and has spared me the work of translating it
myself).
