ATP synthase research has reached a milestone as single-molecule techniques are used to examine the direction and stepping of the proton gradient–driven rotation, to determine the effect of forced ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

Bonn, January 10, 2023 - Scientists led by Prof. Thomas Becker, Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), have gained new insights into the ...

The mitochondrial ATP synthase is energy-converting macromolecular machine that uses the electrochemical potential across the bioenergetic membrane called cristae. This potential is maintained via a ...

Scientists created safer weight loss chemicals that make cells burn more calories without dangerous side effects.

A collaborative effort led by Stuti Sharma, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology at Stony Brook University, resulted in a promising study toward a better ...

Found inside mitochondria, ATP synthase generates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate, which the cells of all living things use for fuel. The enzyme generally looks similar in shape ...

ATP synthase is often referred to as a complex molecular machine which has central rotor that moves at a speed of 150 rotations/s during ATP synthesis. In total, each glucose molecule undergoing ...

If there’s one thing that most folks will remember from even just high school biology class, it’s that the mitochondria is the “powerhouse of the cell.” Why? Because it creates ATP, a cellular ...
