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.

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.

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running.

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

Is it better to train so hard that you are exhausted? Or should you opt for Zone 2 training? Lounge takes a closer look on a fitness philosophy that is gaining popularity ...

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 ...

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running.

This study provides compelling evidence that kinesin's stepping mechanism is governed by strain-induced conformational changes in its nucleotide-binding pockets. Using pre-steady state kinetics and ...
