Scientists have solved the structure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, an enzyme that makes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the major energy source of cells. A team of scientists headed by Rosalind Franklin ...

Found inside mitochondria, ATP synthase generates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate, which the cells of all living things use for fuel. The enzyme generally looks similar in shape ...

The redox regulation mechanism responsible for efficient production of ATP under varying light conditions in photosynthetic organisms has now been unveiled. Researchers investigated the enzyme ...

Bonn, January 10, 2023 - Scientists led by Prof. Thomas Becker, Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), have gained new insights into the ...

This enzyme is present in the mitochondria and catalyzes the production of ATP by combining ADP and inorganic phosphate. ATP synthase is often referred to as a complex molecular machine which has ...

"The ATP synthase protein complex consists of a spinning rotor driven by the back transport of protons into the mitochondrial matrix. This part is connected to the enzyme's catalytic head by a stalk, ...
