Our design for nucleopeptides with Dconfiguration still has function in ADP/ATP oscillation. In the future, ATP recognition by the eight nucleopeptides will be tested in drug-resistant cells with 1 ...
ATP works by losing the endmost phosphate group when instructed to do so by an enzyme. This reaction releases a lot of energy, which the organism can then use to build proteins, contact muscles, etc.
Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has released energy, it becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a low energy molecule.
The gradient created by this drives hydrogen back through the membrane, through ATP synthase. As this happens, the enzymatic activity of ATP synthase synthesiszes ATP from ADP.
An analysis of the enzyme structure by Masasuke Yoshida led to a prediction by Paul Boyer that it actually rotates while converting ADP to ATP and storing energy. Rotation is not the only significant ...
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) possesses two isoforms of plastidic ATP/ADP transporters (AtNTT1 and AtNTT2) exhibiting similar biochemical properties. To analyze the function of both isoforms on ...
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 plays an essential role in the folding and function of important cellular proteins including steroid hormone receptors, protein kinases and proteins controlling the cell ...
