ATP consists of an adenosine base (blue), a ribose sugar (pink) and a phosphate chain. The high-energy phosphate bond in this phosphate chain is the key to ATP's energy storage potential. Cells ...

The process of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, being converted into energy is fairly complex. However, here’s a quick rundown of how it works: Since ATP is so critical, your body has several systems ...

How a transport protein obtains its driving force from the energy storage molecule ATP, has been tracked dynamically. Using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, they measured the structural changes in ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba, Osaka University, and Kitasato University developed a novel amide cyclodextrin (cyclic oligosaccharide) that can selectively capture phosphate ions in water. In ...

For 50 years, thousands of labs around the world have studied cells' critical internal communications, and scientists had assumed the speakers were known. But now, in the Dec. 17 issue of Science, ...

Converging evidence suggests bioenergetic abnormalities in bipolar disorder (BD). In the brain, phosphocreatine (PCr) acts a reservoir of high-energy phosphate (HEP) bonds, and creatine kinases (CK) ...

Tracked step for step ATP splitting in membrane protein dynamically measured for the first time RUB researchers report in the Journal of Biological Chemistry How a transport protein obtains its ...
