Scientists in Basel revealed that energy-producing proteins in mitochondria form large supercomplexes, boosting ATP ...

To emphasize this point more specifically, we also assessed ATP effects on signal output in living cells (that is, the normal test environment for FRET-based biosensors). Changes in intracellular ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) often occurs as a result of ischemia, which is a condition in which blood flow to part of the body is restricted, depriving tissues of oxygen and nutrients. This damage is ...

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

Mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was discovered as a protein kinase that switches off lipid synthesis. The yeast orthologue, the SNF1 complex, was discovered in screens for mutations ...

The prize was for the determination of the detailed mechanism by which ATP shuttles energy. The enzyme which makes ATP is called ATP synthase, or ATPase, and sits on the mitochondria in animal cells ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life. Led by ...
