Energy transduction underpins fundamental cellular processes, converting chemical energy stored in gradients into the mechanical and chemical work essential for life. Central to this conversion is 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 ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have developed a method for quantitative imaging of ATP levels inside living cells. The study, published in Nature ...

In ATP hydrolysis, water is used to split apart adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to get energy. ATP hydrolysis energy (AHE) is then used in the activities of living ...

A simple two-carbon compound may have been a crucial player in the evolution of metabolism before the advent of cells, according to a new study. The finding potentially sheds light on the earliest ...

Scientists discovered that lowered brain energy signaling in the hippocampus can lead to both depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Stress reduced ATP, a molecule important for cell energy ...
