Scientists have solved the structure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, an enzyme that makes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the major energy source of cells. A team of scientists headed by Rosalind Franklin ...

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...

Amides and thioesters are ubiquitous compounds in chemistry, used for the production of medicines, natural products, and advanced materials. Traditionally, their synthesis is a messy business, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We hypothesized that cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) may utilize extracellular ATP (ATPo) during the effector phase of the CTL-target cell ...

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of enzymatic reactions that releases energy from stored carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The Krebs Cycle was first proposed by Hans ...

A plant enzyme - ATP synthase - has evolved a new function by changing a single protein. ATP synthases works during the day to store energy the plants creates via photosynthesis. At night, ATP ...

As you probably know, from sucking down cans of Coke and masticating on candy, sugar -- glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose -- is an excellent source of energy. There is a reason why almost every ...

ATP-ADP exchange was estimated in the presence of plasma membrane H+-ATPase of oat (Avena sativa) roots partially purified with Triton X-100 by measuring [14C]ATP formation from [14C]ADP. Most studies ...
