Boyer showed that contrary to the previously accepted belief, the energy requiring step in making ATP is not the synthesis from ADP and phosphate, but the initial binding of the ADP and the phosphate ...

This project is interested in how ATP synthase can rotate, how the rotation transmits the energy from proton flow, the mechanism of ATP synthesis, and why the biological world has adapted this type of ...

while switching off ATP-consuming, anabolic pathways such as the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, glycogen and proteins (Figs 1, 2). It achieves this by rapid phosphorylation of metabolic ...

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 ...

TMC207 inhibits the proton pump of mycobacterial ATP synthase, a critical enzyme in the synthesis of ATP for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Resistance is achieved through mutations at position 63 or ...

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 ...
