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 ...

The human body uses three types of molecules to yield the necessary energy to drive ATP synthesis: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Over a hundred ATP molecules are synthesized from the complete ...

The flow of protons through amazing protein turbines embedded in this membrane powers the synthesis of ATP in much the same way that the flow of water through mechanized turbines generates ...

In particular, mitochondrial Ca 2+ plays a dual role: enabling physiological functions like metabolism and ATP synthesis while contributing to pathological processes such as apoptosis and ...

he said. "Was it carbon assimilation or ATP synthesis or both?" Various lines of evidence suggest that the plastids in red algae and another group of photosynthesizing organisms known as ...

Using a technique called 31 PMR spectroscopy, SOMMA researchers were able to determine the rate of ATP synthesis by looking at how fast the muscle was able to synthesize ATP after it was depleted ...
