Kanazawa University, have developed a method for quantitative imaging of ATP levels inside living cells. The study, published ...

Energy transduction underpins fundamental cellular processes, converting chemical energy stored in gradients into the mechanical and chemical work essential for life. Central to this conversion is 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 ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that provides crucial energy to activate a wide array of biological processes, in many organisms including the movement of muscles and the propagation of ...

The actin and myosin complex (actomyosin) generates contraction force of a muscle utilizing the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis reaction. Many attempts have thus been made to explain the ...

Machines running on human energy? Yes, it can happen, according to Dan Nicolau, Jr. from the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California. Nicolau and his colleagues successfully ...

Subplastidic preparations from cotyledons of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were tested for their ability to synthesize protoporphyrin IX from the substrate 5-aminolevulinic acid. Envelope or thylakoid ...

In a new JNeurosci paper, Tian-Ming Gao and colleagues, from Southern Medical University, explored how adenosine triphosphate ...

New research reveals that reduced ATP signaling in the hippocampus plays a causal role in both depression- and anxiety-like behaviors.
