"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, ...
From the tiniest cell motor to the grand sweep of Earth's carbon cycle, photosynthesis and cellular respiration form the ...
In 2005, a class of compound was discovered that could inhibit the bacterium that causes tuberculosis infections in humans — Mycobacterium tuberculosis 1. Unexpectedly, the target of these drugs was ...
F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...
The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Hongzhe SUN from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong, has published a paper in Nature Communications. The ...
