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.

Scientists in Basel revealed that energy-producing proteins in mitochondria form large supercomplexes, boosting ATP ...

Red light therapy may be beneficial because it boosts production of ATP which may enhance healing. Because it can also reduce inflammation, it may help conditions like arthritis and acne.

They synthesize ATP from pyruvate breakdown via simple fermentations that typically involve the production of molecular hydrogen as a major metabolic end product. These mitochondria are called ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

Calvelli's departure from the governing body of men's tennis continues the recent shuffling of the decks at the top of the ...

Defects in the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system — the final biochemical pathway in the production of ATP — result in devastating, mainly multisystem diseases. The OXPHOS system is ...

The respiratory supercomplexes pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane. The ATP production complexes, which act similarly to a watermill, use this flow of protons to drive ATP generation." ...

Chloroplasts are essential for energy production in plants—playing a similar role as mitochondria (the powerhouses of animal cells) do in animals. However, mitochondria use the ATP/ADP ...
