Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

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

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

This requires energy. These molecules can be recycled so that a constant stream of energy rich ATP is available for all metabolic pathways in the cell. Almost all cellular processes need ATP to ...

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 ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Cellular nutrients come in many forms ... Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose ...

In the same way that the genetic code enables information to transcend chemistry, so Mitchell's proton gradients enable cellular metabolism ... released in the form of ATP (the universal energy ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, ...
