ATP consists of an adenosine base (blue), a ribose sugar (pink) and a phosphate chain. The high-energy phosphate bond in this phosphate chain is the key to ATP's energy storage potential. Cells ...

When the organism is resting and energy is not immediately needed, the reverse reaction takes place and the phosphate group is reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight.

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

The motor made by the team consists of peptide ribbons developed by the team that get activated when a chemical fuel (not ATP ...

For the first time in the world, the molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of ...

A study conducted by researchers from the University of São Paulo sheds light on new discoveries about the mechanisms of ...

Dr. Porter said if you can't smell peanut butter, you most likely lack adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in your brain which is a ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...
