ATP is produced by an enzyme called ATPase, which consists of two molecular motors, F o and F 1, that rotate in opposite ...

The way a key cellular motor works at an atomic level has been uncovered by simulations conducted by RIKEN biophysicists.

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have characterized a hidden intermediate state at the center of Src kinase function. This hidden state allows the kinase to repeatedly modify its ...

A new study led by Rice University's Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede has revealed that protein clumps, or plaques that clog the brain, associated with Parkinson's disease are not merely waste; they can ...

Role of ATP homeostasis in mitigating chilling injury of postharvest commodities. A right balance between eATP generation and sufficient eATP scavenging is essential for generating sufficient iATP ...

PURPOSE: In a randomized clinical trial in patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), infusion with adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) inhibited loss of body weight and quality of life.

The aquatic environment is full of tantalizing chemicals that can guide a fish to mates or meals. Now, scientists in Japan have identified the olfactory receptor and brain circuitry that picks up the ...

Researchers used a novel phosphate-activation reagent, 2-MeImIm-Cl, in an improved coupling reaction to increase the yield of ADP- or ATP-containing molecules. Unlike traditional reactions, the ...
