AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) occurs as heterotrimeric protein complexes that monitor cellular energy status by sensing the concentrations of ATP, ADP and AMP. Displacement of ATP by ADP or AMP ...

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 ...

Having considered localization of respiratory functions in mitochondria and in prokaryotic cells, it's time to return to the ...

ATP is the main source of energy for most cellular processes. The building blocks of ATP are carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. Because of the presence of unstable, high-energy bonds ...

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, abbreviated ATP and usually expressed without the 5′-, is an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms. Specifically, it is a coenzyme that works with enzymes such ...
